Token Number - 193514616786439-4699921
How do i provide you with my token so you can track down the protected copy of my return i sent you? You automatically remove the token treating it as a url or phone number - very frustrating.
I want to report two errors
1) Regarding Sales Tax - on deductions and credits page:
Turbo tax does not allow me to enter a use tax that is 6% when the local sales tax is 7%. This is an error - one can deduct a use tax that is different than the local sales tax if its the same or lower - they are all treated as a SALT tax. If I bought a boat outside the state - i pay a use tax of 6% - if i buy a boat in the state of Iowa i pay a sales tax of 7% - in reviewing turbo tax write up on this it says
However, there are two exceptions to the “one rate” rule – you can deduct sales taxes on:
- food, clothing, and medical supplies even if the tax rate on these items is less than the general sales tax rate
- motor vehicles even if the tax rate on them is different than the general sales tax rate, but your deduction can’t be based on a rate that’s higher than the general sales tax rate
Turbo Tax is hard coded not to allow this exception. If I enter the 6% use tax value I paid which is lower than the local tax of 7% - it doesn't allow the deduction.
Turbo Tax please fix this.
2) the Desk top version of Turbo Tax does not allow one to enter an HSA contribution. I know there are alot of complaints. But the field never appears - i can enter an MSA but not individual contribution to an HSA.
I can go into Form 8889-T and manually enter but the worksheet thinks i am 55 or under for all of 2025 when i am 69 at present - Turbo Tax does have my birthdate too
Please fix this on both the topic list and on Form 8889-T
Thanks so much,
Ed
p.s. you don't make it very clear that i have to post with the Token number and then post on the forum to have this addressed. Actually, still not clear I am doing this correctly since your tools automatically remove the token number thinking is a phone number
