Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Form 1116 -

   It appears that we cannot efile with this form. Ok, that's an IRS problem.  But then why is TT offering me the option to efile if I can't.  Instead, the screen should show  "You cannot efile because you have form 1116 but, because TT made it appear that you could after March 3, we're sending you a 10% discount on next year's TT.  Thanks for being a valued customer."

 

Recovery Rebate -

   I saw that pat answer numerous times, but it didn't help me find what I wanted to see.  For others who get a letter 6475 from the IRS stating 'we gave you $$$ in stimulus' but you didn't receive it, then go to 'Forms' and find 'Recov Rebate Cr' worksheet... the details are there.  In particular, look at lines 9, 10 ... if your AGI exceeds $160k, then you can't take the credit.  Otherwise, you can see how your credit is calculated.

   So TT should show a screen with a statement such as "Let's check if you can get a RR rebate.  Sorry, you do not qualify for the RR credit because ...". 

 

TT dropped the ball on a number of things this year.  I understand that the IRS made it difficult, but some minor updates to TT would have taken care of a number of problems people are having this year.  And at least a 10% discount on next year's TT would go a long way to help me decide if I will use TT next year or try something else.
