you should distinguish program errors (there are none at present
in the Firefly's DFT/TDDFT code) and errors due to use of simplified
and inaccurate model (like TDDFT is).

>I did not get large transition moments for forbidden transitions in Ci group.

Small non-zero transition moments for forbidden transitions are
usually due to numerical noise/use of finite grid used in DFT/TDDFT
calculations. Use larger grid or explicit symmetry in TDDFT.
