My point is that Turbo Tax needs to update the program so that there is an option to either take the exclusion or not take the exclusion. This is not only about amended returns as this affects not only those that need to make changes to an already filed return but those that have not filed yet as well. There needs to be functionality within the system that allows the taxpayer to not take the tax "break" if it does not benefit him/her. Until this is fixed within Turbo Tax, the taxpayer that has not filed yet would need to complete their return in paper form where they have the option of not accepting the tax break/deduction.
