TT should be updated to recognize this situation and simply not include form 8960. I pay $$$ to TT so I don't have to deal with this nonsense. Get on this TT or you're going to lose me as a customer.
Except that the IRS updated Form 8960 instructions to say that you must include these amounts if you are required to file Form 8960.
Do you meet the MAGI requirements for filing found on page 1 of the IRS instructions? If yes, I suppose TT could allow you to just delete the form but that wouldn't be correct.
From that PDF:
Who Must File - Attach Form 8960 to your return if your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is greater than the applicable threshold amount.
[...]
The applicable threshold amount is based on your filing status.
• Married Filing Jointly or Qualifying Widow(er) is $250,000.
• Married Filing Separately is $125,000.
• Single or Head of Household is $200,000.
If you don't meet any of those thresholds, then yeah TT needs to fix something.
