Thank you so much for taking the time to explain to me things in such good detail. This has been so helpful. I'm new here, and I don't mean anything by this, I just don't know what this forum really is. Are you and the others who respond tax people preparers?
People with "expert" are Turbotax employees. People with "Champ" next to their names are experienced volunteers who have been on the board for a while, have agreed to a code of conduct, and have been vetted by the moderators for being mostly accurate most of the time. Anyone without a label can be anyone. (Some are former champs who object to the code of conduct for whatever reason.) Some are accountants, or tax preparers, even attorneys, some are just knowledgeable volunteers. I am not a paid preparer, I do this as a hobby, and I tend to stick to areas that I most comfortable, which includes church and clergy taxes because I was in that area as my church's treasurer for several years.
