The screen shot showing that Indiana Schedule IT-2210A is "Ready for print" is misleading. TurboTax does NOT actually even complete the IT-2210A, even if a user elects to print and mail their tax return. When a user has unevenly earned income TurboTax defaults to the IT-2210, which is only to be used for evenly earned income, which it then includes with the documents it prints. And then, in some cases, TurboTax will incorrectly compute and add a penalty to the tax return.
The only way to avoid the penalty is to print Schedule IT-2210A from the Indiana DOR website, and manually complete and include the document with your printed and mailed tax return. You'll also need to print and complete a new copy of Form IT-40, since the tax penalty will be included, in error, on that form as well.
I reported this to Intuit a full month ago, and tried to explain this problem and its consequences to the TurboTax user, in a two-hour phone call with a support representative. I know that other TurboTax users have also reported the same problem. Unfortunately, the company doesn't seem to think it's a priority to fix, even though we're most of the way through tax filing season. It's a pretty disappointing response given that TurboTax is marketed as a premium product with a "maximum refund guarantee" and "100% accurate calculations guarantee"!
