If they give you a prompt and steps to enter your information, then by all means it's your bad, your responsibility to deal with the consequences. But as many have stated, since the birth of Obamacare, TT has prompted the completion of this form. To suddenly not prompt this year, along with the new dismissal of healthcare fines, many people assumed that they no longer had to fill out the information. If you chose to go scour forums and Google, congrats, pat on the back to you..... YOU are not the reason for this forum. The tens of thousands who trusted their taxes to TT, like many previously successful years, are the reason this forum exists. And another tid bit, we all know there's free file options out there, but many took comfort in thinking TT had our backs and found ease of mind with the step by step instructions and prompts for things that the regular American citizen doesn't think of to include in their taxes. Or like myself, we chose TT's free file option, only to get 2hrs in at the last step to be told sorry, you have to upgrade because of one of your deductions, and instead of starting completely over with an unfamiliar program, chose to suck up the $100 fees and be done with tax season....or so we mistakenly thought.
