Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I'm not going to wait any longer to e-file. I am using the following workaround:
1) I am requesting the underpayment penalty be waived.
2) One of the reasons I'm giving is that the penalty is not due because the form did not correctly record the carryover of overpayment from quarter 1/2 to quarter 3.
Because a request for the penalty to be waived results in TT not including the penalty, my tax return should be correct, just as if it was correctly calculated, with the exception that it will include the underpayment form and the waiver request, and a notation that there is 0 underpayment penalty due on form 1040, with the notation "waiver request."
Since what is actually transmitted is not the forms themselves, but rather an approved electronic formatting of the data set, the IRS may not even have the same mistake in their system when their computers read my return. Hopefully this will all work out :-).
