Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@ZedpeeThank you!  I appreciate your chiming in.  I have been suffering in silence for a number of years making do with work-arounds, but never bothered reporting this bug --- waiting for someone else to do so.  Finally, I decided I should be that someone else!  I know I'm not the only expat out here and many, if not all, expats are affected by this bug too (many countries do not use the US number convention).  But unless other expats also report that they encounter this bug, Turbotax will not have an incentive to allocate resources to resolve it.  So, thank you for joining this thread.  I'm glad you found the discussion in this thread informative.
