It does that to me every year. I have worked abroad and own a rental property so recieve a 1099-MISC. I just assume they're getting kickbacks from the government on the penalties they say you have to pay for not having paid quarterly taxes. Once they've f'ed you into "self-employed," you're screwed. I've tried repeatedly to start over using Premier (which would be the correct one for me) but immediately f's me in self-employed. More money for turbotax in fees from me and kickbacks they get for unowed penalties they can collect. I used to just put up with is because it was too much hassle finding a CPA abroad or even one stateside that knew how to deal with UN income. But, definitely time to find a competent CPA and stop overpaying to have my taxes done incorrectly by Turbotax.
