Thanks for your comment DMark.
I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information on this particular issue within the forum. Also, I'm seeing high level users stating that it's a known issue for some users, but that was posted on posts from 2020 about 2019 TT and the same response on current threads regarding 2020 TT in 2021. I don't know if that's very reassuring that its just a known issue.
If I didn't file itemized deductions in 2019, can I just ignore this stupid field and whatever number is inserted there? Based on what you said and what I read others say, it seems it's not taxable and won't make a difference anyway. I even played around with the number to see if it changed the fed/state refund amounts and nothing happened.
So what's your advice? Just leave whatever the heck TT put in there, don't try to understand why it is what it is, and then move on? It's getting down to the wire, and this annoying bug has paused any further progress on getting this done before the deadline. Thanks!
