Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There are at least two conflicts in the 2021 Turbotax Desktop edition with the Form 8962 Instructions (Form 8952) feeds off of Form1095-A data entry.  The IRS Instructions say when filing electronically, to ROUND UP OR ROUND DOWN the cents to the nearest whole number because their electronic filing portal does not read cents (anything after the decimal). So when doing this the column C total can be off by a dollar or two, potentially causing a rejection. I manually rounded down one of the numbers to get the total to match, but the return was rejected (for the 4th time) Column C, Line 33 on Form 1095-A which carries over to Form 8962. Hmmmm.  We'll see if that gets rejected too. If it does get rejected again, then TurboTax has no resolution to that bug and a paper return will need to be filed. How many millions of returns will have to be filed by paper due to this bug.

 

The second conflict with Form 8962 instructions is that the IRS says to ENTER A ZERO!!!!!  TurboTax rejects this procedure and requires the fields be left blank - reject - reject - reject.
