Peggy,
We are all waiting for TurboTax to update their software. TurboTax will NOT allow you to manually edit your 1040- schedule 1 – Line 8 section without returning an error if you override.
I believe TurboTax has fixed this issue for their online filers, and professional account users (CPA accountants).
Those of us who purchased the more expensive version of TurboTax have to wait for patches that may come on the 26th of this month…
Like yourself, trusting that the deduction will automatically be applied to your account is a little scary if you choose to submit it in its current state to the IRS.
If you discover something new, please feel free to share your experiences here…
