**bleep**! That is awful. Is TT willing to pay penalties? They do have this (sort of) guarantee that if their software makes a mistake, the pay the difference.
I am also a software engineer, and yes, errors happen, but that one is really unacceptable. I have never stumbled into the Net Investment Income Tax, so I have to go look that up. So far, it has not been flagged on any of my investments.
I'd be curious to know where you go after TT. I tried H&R Block software, but it was definitely not easy to use and I felt it was not as well designed. But I have lost a lot of faith in Intuit. I was thrilled when they sold off Quicken, especially for me as a Mac user, because they just left that software go to over 9 years out of date without updates. The new company is doing an excellent job with the program and I am happy to pay a yearly fee for such great software.
Maybe we can convince Quicken to start doing tax software!😀
Good luck. That really suck as to that error.
