I thought of that and tried it, but to no avail.
I also thought of eliminating my business loss altogether
but it resulted in a $200 tax increase and it occurred to me
that might have implications for including it in future years.
I did finally figure out how to talk to a TT tax advisor and he was
extremely helpful.
I ended up getting the PDF tax forms and filling them out manually
using Preview and using the positive rather than the negative number in
line 11. I printed it out and sent in the paper return. Took alot more
work.
Because I had paid TT for electronic state submission, I will be asking
them for a $25 refund, and also for a partial refund of TT, since the state return did not
work. They need to correct the error ASAP, because this problem could also
occur in the future tax years until it is corrected.
