Illinois Schedule M -- Line 22 -- I need to exclude federal agency interest from total interest as reported on 1099's. This entry has worked in prior years, but this year line 22 is non-functional so far -- can only do an override which still leaves an error notice and doesn't incorporate the value into calculated tax. Other lines on Schedule M appear to be available (tan shaded).
Also, the step-by-step didn't get me to this input this year.
Looks like an omission.
If it won't let you make an entry, it possibly means it is supposed to come from a worksheet or some other form. If you're using the Windows version, you can right-click the stubborn data field and see if a popup menu lets you look at "data source" to see where it flows from. I don't know if that feature is available in the Mac version.
Otherwise, for the specific issue on an Illinois return, you'd have to see if anyone is familiar with it and responds here, but this is a long cluttered thread on multiple issues, so the chances are less of it being addressed here in this mixed thread, and it could get lost among the multitude. If you don't get a response here in this thread, you can start your own new thread with that issue in the title, and someone may be more likely to see it and respond. Most of the tax experts are active in the forum during the day. If not, we can tell you how to phone TurboTax Support.
