@AmyC,
Thanks for your thoughts. However, I think you've misunderstood the complaint. After amending, the 1040 form has all the proper (amended values) on it, ready to be filed with the IRS. The 1040X does not.
Did I understand you saying I should re-enter all my data again with a totally brand-new return? Sheesh!! It does me no good to re-enter an entirely new tax return (hours) to get a "new starting point", and then again enter in all the amended data. I already have good 1040 forms.
The problem is TT is incapable of creating a valid 1040X. In my case, at least 8 numbers in 1040X Col A and Col B were wrong. The IRS would laugh at me if I filed this without manual review. Even the TT review function finds nothing wrong with it.
It was easier to just do the 1040X myself after I used TT to make an amended 1040 (which has correct amended numbers).
If TT has a known issue about correct numbers not transferring to the AGI, uh.. then that sort of violates the guarantee that TT does all calculations correct. Why does TT not fix the problem or refund costs for users experiencing this problem?
