Sorry, Long Explanation: Desktop Mac user. I too have spent a couple of hours, yesterday, regarding this issue.
I used the Less Common Income / Misc Income / Other Reportable Income (was for a UK Pension). Entered the requested brief description & taxpayer amount.
As a 25+ year TT user, I've had this same deduction for many years, with no problems.
I previewed my return before submitting, and since on the Federal Form, Other Income looked ok, I submitted my returns. Within an hour it was rejected by the IRS. The code more or less indicated that there was no 'explanation' of what the 'other reportable income' was.
When I went back & checked: Schedule 1, Line 8z, the 'Other Income, List Type & Amount', I saw the figures had populated, but the 'List Type' had not.
The first person I spoke with (1/2 hour) didn't really understand, plus she was having issues with the screen share. She then disconnected me.
Calling back, I was able to get a Level 1 tech who did know her stuff. She spent another 45 minutes w/me, checked w/her supervisor and had me try other ways to get it to populate on Schedule 1. No luck. She then transferred me to a Level 2 Tech, who was extremely arrogant and told me to 'print it out, write it in & mail it'. Really? He then said it would be 'escalated' and I'd receive an email w/case #, etc. I asked him for the case # & some type of ID that could reference who I spoke with. Nope.
Anyways, here we are today and not sure where I'm going to go with this as it's obviously a bug in the software.
