I’ve used TurboTax for 20years or so. Extremely frustrating last year, could not even enter data to 1099-R forms (3 retirement Accts and then my RMD) until late Jan or early Feb. Ttax used to at least provide the form with a watermark that said something like Do Not Print. I had to Jerry rig data into other forms. It sucked. Won’t buy TurboTax this year until I can get forms to enter the data…..or maybe I’ll have to switch to H&R. What gives?
Meanwhile, “AARP.com” has a robust tax estimating program that even properly estimates the Enhanced Bonus up to $6,000 standard deduction for seniors. And it’s updated to properly show your State Taxes deduction, can now be over $10,000. H&R says to estimate the enhanced bonus using your MAGI, but failed to define that it’s a totally different MAGI (do not add back untaxed SocSec or tax exempt income) than the one used for IRMAA (which does add these back to your AGI.)
