Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@DoninGAYes, my software *is* up to date.  It is the Windows Delux version.

As I stated in my original post, this bug showed up a few years ago; I had no problem like this before (I have been using Turbotax for a few decades now).  I've had to VERY carefully work my way around this bug for at least 3 years now with at least three versions of Turbotax (perhaps more).

I am surprised that no one else seems to have reported this bug.

Perhaps this bugs stems from the fact that I have been using Turbotax for much longer than most people and every year have it transfer my data from my previous year returns.  Perhaps there is some incompatibility that was introduced between the internal structures of forms a few years ago and the bug arises out of improper conversion of such internal structures?  I have no clue.  But the bug is real and it has been there for a couple of years in different versions of Turbotax.
