Turbo tax is not importing documents accurately
I am experiencing a software problem with Turbo Tax online. Yesterday I uploaded a 1099R and found it incorrectly indicated that box 7 "Distribution code" had a 1 in it when it should have shown the correct number 7. Even after I changed the number to 7 the program continued to compute as if it were 1. Only after I discarded the form and re-entered the data by typing myself did the form correctly reflect the 7 code. Had I not noticed this problem, I would have be out $15,000 or more. This morning I had a similar problem with a 1099DIV that I uploaded from a file. Turbo tax showed $647 interest when it should have been $1647 and also showed tax exempt interest when there was none on the form itself. Again, I had to delete the form and input by hand as the program continued to refer to non-existent tax exempt interest even after correction. I'm a long time user of turbo tax and never experienced this problem but no longer feel I can trust auto download/upload accuracy or that the software will accept corrections when applied. Anyone else having this problem?
