Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks, @epo39b - this helps immensely, and clarifies very well the question I had.

It makes perfect sense, too — adding a bunch of detail would only creates a lot of noise. They just want the total, and the line items we see in TurboTax are basically just like a scratchpad or worksheet for our own personal reference -- it's just the rolled-up total that goes to the IRS. Good to know.

The feature of being able to flip back and forth between the form and the interview/quick-enter mode is very nice... I've used it before (but not very often), so that's a great idea to check it out in this case and see how it renders the form.

I've been a TurboTax user for years, but this is the first year where I've had to use it for serious tax preparation now that I'm self-employed, so the extra help in clarifying these semi-confusing matters is super helpful. Thanks again!
