Note  This article comprises former KB articles 17886 and 18331. It is herein referred to as KB 18331.

Some states have implemented restrictions on what information is allowed to be transferred over from year-to-year. See the following tables for state-specific update limitations.

Important Information

  • Update limitations vary from year-to-year.

  • States without a limit listed will allow all carryover items to be updated from the prior year.

  • Items noted with an asterisk (*) are allowed to be updated, but must be verified before e-file is allowed. You must review and confirm that the data is correct and then press F4 in the field to clear the green flag.

  • The items noted with a double-asterisk (**) are preparer specific and update is allowed from the prior year of Drake Tax if confirmed by going through Last Year Data > Update Settings > Preparer > and checking I have verified each selected preparer's PTIN before clicking Update Preparers.

  • If there are multiple states on a return, the strictest limitations for the states included on the return will be implemented when updating the return to the next year.

  • If direct deposit information did not update, and there are no state restrictions, attempt to re-update the return and ensure that the box Update DD (Direct Deposit) Information is checked on the Update Options window. This will delete any new data entry that has been done in the current year and reset it to the update information; proceed with caution.
