Get your taxes done using TurboTax

you are, of course, correct. i spent over an hour trying to convince a TT staffer and got nowhere. THEN this morning i googled the issue and found your post. and am hugely grateful. 

i am using TTdesktop on windows.

it looks like the error causes excessive q123 estimated payments, so they are not putting themselves at risk of paying for your/my penalties if it was the reverse. too bad, that would have been a stimulus to change.

in any case, they will get a note from me to this effect, and i may actually even send it by postal mail in addition to posting/emailing it to them

many thanks for reporting this.
