Aysoref, I greatly appreciate you re-posting this update and all your efforts to resolve this issue with TT.
This is a cop-out by TT, they simply need to change this statement to a question "do you want to over-write your existing import data or add as supplemental data?" as they had in previous years. It is on the user (as always) to reply to the question as appropriate to their specific needs. This would support those of us who receive supplemental tax forms every single year.
This year I spent hours editing imported data pertaining to gains/losses on inherited investments. To not lose this data my only options now are to spend additional hours keying in the minutia of text contained in the new supplemental statement or mail in a copy of my actual supplemental statement to the IRS. The latter option defeats the whole purpose and security of e-filing.
TT is likely unwilling to change their software for this obvious defect since it is so close to tax deadline. I am curious if any of the other TT products (I am using the desktop deluxe version) can handle this issue properly this year. I would be willing to upgrade if I knew that it would help resolve the issue.
I sincerely hope that TT reconsiders their position on this topic for next year and modifies their code appropriately, otherwise I will need to look for new tax software after years of being a dedicated TT user.
Again, appreciate your efforts on this.
