Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The online in now working but I agree this is a disaster waiting to happen ... I can hear the swearing from the users already as there returns are delayed and corrected due to the misunderstanding on the stimulus screen instructions ... the IRS line 30 worksheet LINE 16  clearly says to enter the payment BEFORE OFFSETS.  This may not be the amount the notice 1444 or 1444-B has listed ...

 

Enter the amount, if any, of EIP 1 that was issued to you (before offset for any past-due child support payment).
You may refer to Notice 1444 or your tax account information at IRS.gov/Account for the amount to
enter here

If history has told us in the past you cannot expect any TT user to READ the fine print at all ... and to have incorrect info on the main page AND the "learn more" links is  just plain SAD. 

 

Who proof reads this before putting it in service ???   Obviously they don't ask any of us regular posters on this forum as this is something we would have pointed out quickly .... I hope the moderators take heed of this warning and run this issue up the chain ASAP  before anything can be efiled incorrectly.
