Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Finally, someone connected with TurboTax that admits there is a problem. Unfortunately, it’s several other customers and not the Turbo Tax representatives. I too was rejected by the IRS with the message FDI_8615 – Line 7. Turbo Tax directed me to fix the problem but there were no instructions. I performed the calculation check and refiled Fed and State returns only to be rejected again. Spoke with a rep who wanted me to purchase a CPA consultation. I refused and she promised to transfer my call to a tax expert. After several minutes on hold, a recording came on which stated that I could purchase a CPA consultation for $70. Spent part of the last two days reading IRS publications and concluded that Turbo Tax has indeed calculated my tax on Form 8615 incorrectly. Tax code was changed 12/20/19 and IRS has to modify instructions accordingly. A draft of new 8615 instructions is available on the IRS website but it is not yet official and besides we must rely on Turbo Tax to modify their software to perform the tax calculation correctly. At least they could tell they're working on it.
