Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hard to know exactly, but I suspect it has either to do with common European decimal formatting, where Europeans use decimal points (periods) where the USA Software is expecting commas, and they use commas  where USA uses decimal points. 

 

Thus a European one thousand is 1pt000 and USA is 1comma000.

 

SO

1) Check number format setting on your computer. Make sure it is set to USA format while working in TurboTax.  IF it is set to EU format, your 1pt092 may certainly change to 1comma092.000   Similar issues with other forms creating total chaos.

 

2) Make sure you hit the period after the 1 and not the comma  (adjacent characters on the keyboard.  IF you have been in Europe fairly long, you may be used to using the reverse formatting).

 

That's what I suspect.....but can't know for sure.
