In my hours of frustration with Turbotax, I bought and downloaded the HR Block Deluxe software. Although the interface was less attractive than TurboTax, the most critical issue was that the HR Block software also had the same issue as TurboTax. It complained that my $24500 contribution to 457(b) was over the allowable limit, which is clearly not, and worse, it added $24500 outright to my adjusted gross income!!!! I wonder if both platforms have the same programmers.
