⚠️ Before You Begin
Before resubmitting, you need to confirm whether there is an allocation of Individual Income Tax to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: If there is an allocation to the U.S. Virgin Islands
Use this when you need to add the required form amount for the U.S. Virgin Islands allocation.
Based on the error, the client needs to:
- Add Form 8689
- Fill it out
- Resend the return
This applies if there is allocation of Individual Income Tax to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Step 2: If there is no allocation to the U.S. Virgin Islands
Use this when the return should not include the Form 8689 amount.
If there is no allocation of Individual Income Tax to the U.S. Virgin Islands, then:
- Remove the amount on 1040 page 2 line 19
After making the change, resend the return.
