Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The section was especially problematic.  I, like others here, did nor operate a business, but the program seemed to default to classifying the 1099-Misc income from box 3 as business income.  It auto-inked a Schedule C, which had numerous entries missing, thereby the program continued to fail the Review.  Information such as the address of the business, or business expenses, did not exist and bacame a loop of frustration. 

 

I finally went to the forms section, and forced deleted the Schedule C and all relatd worksheets.  This didn't work either, since it again failed the Review. Another Schedule C had been created.  It was only through trial and error that I discover that the question re prior and future years' payments of the same type, seemed to trigger an auto-default to a Business Income decision tree. 

 

This is a failure of this tax progranm.  There should have been a question up front whether the 1099-Misc is from a busineess or not.  Terrible progtramming logic and algorithm flow.  The Form 1116, foreign taxes paid was another quagmire of decison loops from hell.
