Turbo Tax calculated our ages incorrectly.
I am using Expert Assist Premium online.
I was going through the section on estimated taxes for 2026. (I'm a 1099, I underpaid last year, and want to make sure I don't underpay this year.)
As part of the question to calculate my estsimate tax payments, TT asked "[HUSBAND] was 71 years old on January 1, 2026.
No. He was not. His birthdate is November 1955, so he turned 70 in November, not 71.
It did the same thing to me. [WIFE] was 60 years old on January 1, 2026.
NO. My birthdate is December 1966, so I turned 59 in December, not 60.
Our birthdates are entered correctly in the personal information section - this is probably the 8th year in a row I've used TT, and the personal information is carried over from year to year and has always been correct. I confirmed by looking at it again after seeing the calcuation errors.
Both ages were editable in the age box, so they are correct now...but what the HECK. How can I trust Turbo Tax with all the complicated calculations in my return if it can't get our ages right?? I am having serious thoughts about scrapping my returns and starting over with a different company.
