Drake Tax – 1120: Parse Error – Incomplete Officer Name Entered

Last Updated: October 19, 2026

How to resolve an 1120 parse error regarding an incomplete officer name

This issue is fixed by entering a first and last name on the officer’s signature line on the PIN screen (or the E screen for an officer who has Signs return check box marked). Entering only the first or last name or entering only an “X” for the signature causes the error. Two names are required.
