I wound up going to a tax professional and having them done that way. When they prepared my taxes for me it was not counted as "income" and so I did not have to pay taxes on it.
I haven't used TurboTax since and have paid to have someone do my taxes for me. Even when I owe, I owe less than what TurboTax online says I would owe. Cost me more to have them done but I save in the end by not paying the IRS more. Just my experience.
