Dear MarilynG1 (Employee Tax Expert),
Thank you so much for your excellent reply. It works!
The sad thing is that I called TurboTax support team 3 different times. None of these 3 agents, each took a long time to research, know how to solve this problem. I am flabbergasted at the incompetency of the support team.
Perhaps you can suggest more training, better hire screening, and way to escalate when agents don't know how to find the answer.
Furthermore, please request TurboTax software team whenever it automatically add an interest item when it see a number in Box 1f of 1099-B (Accrued Market Discount), to ask user if this is US government obligations. If yes, the TurboTax simply makes the adjustment automatically in the State tax.
