Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Thank you, dmertz, for your suggestions.
Unfortunately, I haven't figured out any way to override the values in line 32 (columns 2-4). Could there be a more advanced method of overriding that I'm not aware of? I've tried clicking, and double-clicking, selecting, cut/paste, and simply can't get the values in lines 32 or 36 to accept $7000.
The only place the What-If worksheet will let me enter or change an IRA contribution amount is in the IRA Contributions Smart Worksheet in the What-If worksheet (directly above line 32). But line 32 (IRA deduction) and also line 36 (Total Adjustments) appear to be limited to $6500 even in columns 2-4 and with the 2019 box checked. (If I put an amount less than or equal to $6500 into the IRA Contribs Smart Worksheet in the What-If, lines 32 and 36 do adjust accordingly.)
If I enter $7000 on line 1 of the IRA Contributions Worksheet for the actual return (corresponding to column 1) it calls the extra $500 a non-deductible contribution and it won't let me override lines 3 and 4 of the IRA Deduction Worksheet. My income isn't high enough that MAGI should be a factor and neither is my age, but those were both good thoughts.
And thank you for your comment re What-If not being able to calculate the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit.
If there is not a more specific way to override these values that I haven't figured out, it seems Intuit has not allowed for 2019 IRA contribution limits to apply to the What-If worksheet.
Is there any more direct way to ask Intuit if they would address this?
Is it fair to ask in this forum if you (or anyone) knows of an alternative calculator that might be able to make calculations for Tax Year 2019 at this time? Everything I've found so far online still seems to be geared to tax year 2018.
Thank you!
