I did NOT see those screens. The only screen I was shown asked when the self-employment income was earned during the year, before or after a certain date. That was it. I filed quite early and perhaps those explanatory screens were not up yet, but I assure you, I did not see them and did not understand that I was deferring anything.
The IRS letter says "use 1040" with no further instructions. I assume I am supposed to amend the return, but it is not proving easy to do on Turbo Tax.
I was an early user of TT, and it used to be so easy to see what the program was doing with my answers. I find myself increasingly frustrated with current form of the software.
