Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes Turbo Tax is calculating the tax on it right. Did you read my post above?
Even though the full dividend amount from box 1a shows up in the total income on the 1040 line 3b , if you have qualified dividends in box 1b on line 3a, the tax is not taken from the tax table but is calculated separately from Schedule D. The tax will be calculated on the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet. It does not get filed with your return. In the online version you need to save your return as a pdf file and include all the worksheets to see it.
For the Desktop version you can switch to Forms Mode and open the worksheet to see it. Click Forms in the upper right (upper left for Mac) and look through the list and open the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet.
