Drake Tax - OH - RITA - EF Message 0343

EF Message 0343 produces when there is a missing or invalid date entered on the Ohio tab of the federal W2 screen. For each locality that is listed on the W-2 or Additional Entries tabs, you must enter a date for Beginning and Ending on the Ohio tab.

The program automatically uses 01/01/2024 if no entry is made in those fields, but ONLY when all of the following are true:

• - The RITA return has a residency status of "Full year"

• - No "Date of move" entry has been made on screen RITA

• - There is only one row of state or locality data on this screen W2

In all other situations, a date must be manually entered.
