Well I finally saw the tiny print edit button & was able to edit the 2 fields.
but that is very lame that TT can’t download them correctly.
& no they are not as easy to do manually. I remember several years before they could be important. Many of them have a lot of fields to enter so it was somewhat labor intensive.
so the whole point of being able to download them is to save time. I ended up downloading it 3x after deleting the 1st 2. All 3 times were wrong. The 1st time skewed the data putting it in the wrong box. The next 2 times those boxes were blank. & that particular one was a muni bond fund which had more boxes w data than other ones. Obscure stuff. But after a while I realized those fields had to do with state issues.
I finally was able to get it done but thanks to TT several days late.
& here’s another weird thing. I tried to file to beat the deadline before figuring those fields out but it said it was 12:01 & e-filing was closed. I would have to print & mail it.
but then when I was all done & did the review & went to the file section it had the usual asking if I wanted to e-file (which was included w my purchase). I almost didn’t try but then decided to go ahead & enter my bank info to pay & went through all & it did let me e-file fed. I’m debating whether to mail state or try e-filing it to get it over with. & I have a $10 credit. Still need to send in estimated payments.
but I am angry about all the extra work since TT could not do what it was supposed to. & that prevented me from filing by the deadline. I’m dreading finding out what penalties there maybe for that due to their mistakes.
& a reason it was so late was the frustration when I looked like it should be able to import last years H&R Block return (since my Mac was too old to run TT. I have since bought a newer one. But also wish there was an easy way to increase the font size in the display.
