TurboTax Software bug found in 2022 ROTH distribution tax determination

Turbotax software has a bug in their software that determines taxable value of ROTH IRA Distribution with the following data.

2022 1099-R 

Box1: 53500

Box 2b: X (selected)

Box7: T

My data:

                                          2020      2021      2022     Total

Roth Conversion basis17200    30000    30000   77200

 

The TT Premier "easy step" software walks me through the query used to fill in the Form 8606.  It only asks for cost basis for 2020 and 2021.  So I end up with a total cost basis of 47200.  This leaves me with a taxable amount of $6300.

 

TT Easy step never asks me to enter a cost basis for 2022.  I dug around and found the worksheet they use for the calculations, and saw a field for “2022” Roth conversion but it is a “read only” field.

 

I downloaded the IRS Form 8606 with instructions and I manually filled out the form.  It shows that I have $0 taxable.  All 53500 is tax free.

 

I used the Free online software and it also provided me with the correct results.  

 

I tried 3 times to reach someone but kept getting cut off.
