Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I'm on a mac, but it appears to be a UI design choice.  It still doesn't feel right.  Please confirm it should say $0, since I filled out he information under Rental Properties and Royalties.

I admit it's confusing, and each year it always catches my eye.  I use Windows, so the finding must at least be consistent across OS platforms.   There are 2 other users in that other thread at the link above, at least one of which is using a Mac.

 

I'm a fellow user; I don't work for TurboTax.  So the only thing I can confirm is anecdotal, and that it is not a new finding this year.    When I click or right-click on the $0 figure (I don't know how it's done on Mac), I get a popup that says the income was being reported in another place.

 

AFAIK, it has put a $0 in the current year column for "Income from 1099-MISC" for some time.  When I use Update to look at the info there, it always seems to be correct in that 1099-MISC category, and things appear correct when I go through the Rental/Royalty interview and look at the Schedule E in Forms Mode.   Also, go into Forms Mode, and you can look at the actual Form 1099-MISC info that TurboTax created.
