Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Even today (February 7, 2022) when I am already encouraged by TurboTax to submit my return, line 12c of Form 1040 is not yet filled in properly (Attachment1). All TurboTax updates have been installed on my system (Attachment 2).

Using Forms to look at TurboTax's internal  1040/1040SR Wks worksheet and its internal version of Form 1040, I found the following:

• Line 12c of 1040/1040SR Wks contains the value missing in the printed Form 1040 (Attachment 3).
• Line 12c of the internal TurboTax version of Form 1040 also contains the value it is supposed to contain (Attachment 4).

This leads me to the conclusion that the error occurs during the transmission from the internal Form 1040 to the actual Form 1040/1040SR.

Thus, the question arises if the same error occurs when the data is sent to the IRS. If so, the form (data) sent to the IRS is "imperfect" and may lead to a flagged tax return.

I don't like to send a faulty tax return to the IRS and will, therefore, wait until the problem has been resolved or I have received an assurance by TurboTax that the data will correctly be transmitted.

Even if the data were correctly transmitted to the IRS, we still need a correct printout for our own records.

Certainly, many people have experienced the same problem and the problem should be fixed immediately to avoid improper tax returns. As I can see from the discussions, the problem was already detected on November 21, 2021. Time to fix it.
