Resolution

Resolution:

If diagnostic 49004 is the only electronic filing diagnostic issuing in your return, then this diagnostic can be disregarded, as 49004 by itself will not indicate an invalidated electronic file.
  • This diagnostic will issue if a diagnostic override code has been entered and calculated with the return.
  • A diagnostic override code is provided by CCH Software support when CCH developers can confirm that a particular 40000, 50000, 60000 level diagnostic will not cause an efile rejection.
  • If the diagnostic override code was provided by CCH Software support for a particular efile diagnostic, then diagnostic 49004 will remind the preparer to clear all other 40000 and 60000 level diagnostics before efiling.
  • Any diagnostic issuing other than the one for which the diagnostic override was given are likely generating properly, and thus reflect the expected efile rejection text a return will receive if efiled with its current state. 
Overrides are entered in Dashboard under Application Links > Configuration, Return Configuration Sets > Expand your RCS > Electronic Filing Options > 1041/Fiduciary. You can close the tax return, remove an override in Dashboard, then reopen and recalculate the tax return. This will remove the override and clear the diagnostic.
