Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I have the same issue, Schedule D Tax Worksheet for form 8615:  Line 11 is blank but line 12 (smaller of line 9 or line 11) has the amount from line 9.  Isn't zero smaller than any other positive number?  Using the amount from line 9 then makes a tax amount of $96 owed for form 8615, line 15.  If a zero is put in line 11 (an override), then no tax amount is determined for line 15 of form 8615.

I spent hours on the phone with Turbotax, including talking to a supervisor.  All they can tell me is that Turbotax is correct and stands by their calculations... even though two other tax programs I used calculated the tax as $0.  So which is correct, Turbotax or the other programs?
