Can the tax return be stored incorrectly by Turbo Tax? My gross income is shown as zero on the printed tax return even though I remember typing it in correctly. Is this possibe?
First, are you still in the process of preparing a return that has not yet been filed? Or have you already filed the return and are printing a return for your records?
I'm not sure what you mean when you said you typed-in your "gross income."
The Form 1040 uses the terms "Total Income", "Adjusted Gross Income," and "Taxable Income" but those are not typed in by the user. Those are calculated by TurboTax after user enters all the other income items to arrive first at "Total Income" and then the Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) reflects any adjustments that were made to the Total Income.
Perhaps you should explain what specific Line(s) on the Form 1040 you are referring to and what type(s) of income you are referring to. Be aware this is a public Internet forum, so don't post any personal info.
Also, if your return shows zero income, please state whether or not you had foreign income and used the Foreign Income Exclusion to exclude all your income.
Another possibility for an incomplete Form 1040 is if you have multiple accounts and are in the wrong account. You could have completed your actual return in a different account. If it becomes necessary, we can tell you how to look for multiple accounts once you explain more as requested above.
Another possibility is if your return PDF never updated after filing. In that case, we can tell you how to open the return interview back up so you can get a more up-to-date PDF at the Print Center inside your return.
When you provide more info that helps understand your situation, someone should be able to comment further during the day.
