Gambling Income
There is an error in how the program handles gambling incoming if you have both a W-4G and other gambling income. The program first asks you to enter W-4G information. It them switches to another page and asks for other gambling income. The question asks you to enter "All prize and gambling income". Since it says "All" I assumed it would include the previous entered W-4G amount. Since had some other income I entered the total amount including W-4G. When I finished the income section the summary page only showed the W-4G amount and not the total amount, however, on the Form 1040 Line 8 it had taken the W-4G amount and added it to the Total amount I had entered in effect doubling the amount of Other Income on the Form 1040. To my mind there are two errors. One, when asked for additional gambling income it should cleared only ask for additional income to the W-4G. Two, the Income Summary page is not correctly showing the amount of Other Income which will be shown on Form 1040 Line 8. Turbo Tax need to review the handling of this to matter to make it clear and correct.
