Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, I would hope that they see the need to link a person's residence to one of the many Disaster Areas that were included in allowing the delay of tax payments and thereby avoid the Underpayment Penalty. I have TT Deluxe, and I solved it by doing a manual override:
I switched to "Forms" view in the upper right corner. Then I found "Form 2210" on this list at the left (which is the form that generates the Underpayment Penalty). On that form, in Part II, I checked Box A for "Waiver of the entire penalty." Go down to Part III, Line 19, and click on "Explain"; it brings up the Statement Form, where I put where I reside, and that it's in a Disaster Area, and therefore I wasn't required to make payments until Oct 16, so no Underpayment Penalty is due. You can then click on "Step by Step" in the upper right corner to go back to the normal information input method.
I hope this helps, and, yes, they should have this built in.
