OH RITA 37 Error

[Janitor Bob]

OH RITA-37 is generating the following error:

E-file exclusion:  All Section A entries must be made on form W-2.

All info incomw/withholding info is on W-2, but does not flow to RITA-37 unless also in Section A.  I seem to recall this same error last year and the only way I could e-file the returns that included RITA-37 was to duplicate the return, delete the RITA-37 and e-file that new return.

Do any of my fellow Ohio preparers know of a fix?  I lived with it last year assuming is what some ATX method of getting people to purchase they city/local package.  If so, I'll live with it again...but want to make sure I am not doing sometginf wrong.

Wish I could help but I stopped e-filing RITA's (only had a couple) when ATX began charging separately for them as not Ohio cities.  So client had to mail in choosing not to pay extra.  One client even now just takes her forms to the local office where they prepare for free so less work for me and saves her money.

Thanks.  The annoyance is needing two returns for each RITA client.  Since the existence of the form/error prohibits efiling, I'm forced to have one return with RITA-37 (for printing/history) and another without RITA-37 for e-filing.

I have the same issue.   This form e-filed last year for me.   Any solutions other than 2 returns?   Thanks

These 0h Rita titles always throw me off:   No way I have made 37 errors already shut up.
