Get your taxes done using TurboTax

cjhowar71:

The Tax Smart Worksheet I described in my other answer will tell you "which" method TurboTax used.   See screen image below.

When you go to the section I show in the screen image, in the Tax Smart Worksheet what is displayed for the source of your Line 11a amount?

 The "Tax Computation Worksheet" you mentioned is only one of many ways TurboTax can calculate the Line 11a tax, depending on the situations in the return.  Not everyone uses the Tax Computation Worksheet--only certain filers.

 If it turns out your return used the Tax Computation Worksheet, you won't be able to see the underlying math in TurboTax since that worksheet does not display.
