Imported 1099-DIV info increases taxes due compared to typing it in by hand - why???
I was doing my taxes this year earlier than the date on which I could import my 1099-DIV info. I completed my taxes by typing the 1099-DIV info in by hand, but waited until the import was available to double-check and make sure I didn't miss anything. Today, I imported the 1099-DIV info from the same account that I had previously typed in by hand. All of the numbers matched on the imported document and the one I entered by hand, as did the dividend summary page in TurboTax. However, inexplicably, when I delete out what I typed in by hand and leave the imported info, my tax bill is $98 higher than if I leave the 1099-DIV info I typed in by hand and delete out the imported info. Again - all the numbers match! Why is this happening? It was only for one bank; the two 1099-DIV records I had for a separate bank didn't vary regardless of entry method. Is this a glitch?
