The "Computation of Recovery Exclusion" worksheet is confusing because you are calculating a 2018 return number, but the inputs for that number all come from your 2017 return. TT has difficulty with that because, in general, when you are working on your 2018 return, TT does not have access to your 2017 return, including all the formulas and parameters that applied in 2017. So the trick is to PLAN AHEAD and figure out what that 2018 number will be, while you are working on your 2017 return. TT DOES facilitate the calculation of this 2018 number, while you are working on your 2017 taxes. That is what the "Computation of Recovery Exclusion" worksheet does. In my comments from a year ago, I found that this worksheet was hard to find, at least for me, but the comments tell where to find it, and it DOES THE JOB that everyone is complaining about. I agree that TT could make this situation more obvious by alerting anyone who paid State taxes and also paid AMT, that they should use this form for their next years taxes. If you used the desktop version of TT last year, you might be able to start up last year's version and go back in and calculate the number you need this year. I don't know if TT makes previous versions of their on-line software available in this way -- it seems like it would be a nightmare for them to keep track of all those versions and data... I have gotten several comments on this from this discussion thread, so I thought I would give my take on it. I have not started my taxes this year, so I am just ASSUMING that the "Computation of Recovery Exclusion" worksheet is still available for this year. If not, why not?
