"There are too many complicated tax laws in the US."
Consider 2020 COVID-19 emergency distribution split into 3 with a basis in IRA.
I tried four tax prep softwares, and each gave a result different from all the others, only one gave the correct taxable amount on the IRA distribution.
Hint: it wasn't TurboTax Online.
The one that was correct, I couldn't use because a different bug on another worksheet calculated the wrong taxable amount based on Schedule D. The support team admitted the error but said it could not be fixed in the 2020 tax season. Maybe next year.
It was not until May that I found a software that gave the correct results and printed Form 8915-E correctly for a mailed tax return.
