Since no one at Intuit has contacted in regard to this error and I wish to get my taxes submitted asap, I have decided not to use Turbo Tax this year. I am going with the competitive product that I have verified handles these calculation correctly.
I would still be very happy to provide any additional assistance I can should the folks at Intuit wish to track down / resolve this issue. Otherwise, feel free to contact me to advise if/when the issue is resolved as I mush prefer your product over the competitor's and would be glad to switch back new year but for this year, I'm going to have to go with accuracy over ease of use. Best regards.
