Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello,

I followed the tt staffer’s last advice: I deleted the total number in the “sales value of items sold with a loss” field, and just left it empty. That is in contradiction to what tt asks, and it wasn’t explained well, but effectively, that then means the system HAS TO use the values from the individual items entered/listed. That then makes the error (which is a purely tt-internal thing anyway, it’s not in the filing) go away. To be on the safe side, I then changed a sales value and in a second test an acquisition value, and confirmed that that changes the gain/loss calculation in the right way, ie, I actually pay taxes as calculated on the individual items That all worked, so I filed my taxes and got my refund back already.

Hope this helps
