I had to file my 2018 taxes through the download last year and I had PMI. With the tax extenders, I need to amend my 2018 return. How do I amend 2018?

Please see the article below for instructions on how to amend your 2018 tax return.

How do I amend a 2018 return in TurboTax?

I followed these instructions, but it is not calculating the deduction for PMI. It is still only giving me credit for the interest I paid. Has TurboTax updated the 2018 software for this?

This has not been updated yet.

When is this update supposed to be made? 

[TerukoL]

The developers are working as quickly as possible to integrate all of the last-minute tax changes made in December. I would suggest that you check back periodically, but it will most likely be sometime in March before the 2018 tax software is completely updated for these very recent changes.

This doesn't work.

Can we get an idea of when this update will come out???  I called Customer Service today regarding this issue and the 'expert' I talked to had no mention of this update; no idea what's going on here.  I wasted 2 hours on the phone with her convincing me that the problem was in my software and I had to delete it and reinstall.  Waste of 2 hours of my life appeasing her!  You need to 'clue in' your Customer Service people to what's going on.  Again, how long must we wait for this update?  I've tried overriding the cell to force the PMI, which gives you a 'result' on the screen...but the printed version doesn't include it :(  .  Frustrated beyond measure!

It is now May and it doesn't appear that an update has been made to account for this change.
