Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Turbotax is not subtracting the 10,200 from the "total income" view at entry, it's only happening behind the scenes on the worksheet. 

 

1. I manually deducted the 10,200 from our total income calculations

2. Then manually entered the 10,200 on both of our Other Misc worksheet

 

I am finally able to get to "same income" for both of us.  

 

Now I am worried that I should instead just report one of incomes being 10,200 higher and let the behind the scenes calculation work. 

 

What seems most prudent?
