I am amending m 2020 return because I was notified by Turbotax of a calculation error in their software for form 8615 and I overpaid my taxes. FIrst had a problem with the instructions and software not working correctly but worked with a tech online to go in and modify the form that was not being handled correctly. Then I was informed that I could not e file my federal return any more (which my understanding is a turbotax thing not an IRS thing) and that I needed to mail it.
OK fine so I print out the documents as per the software and according to the instructions and my own research you should only mail in forms or schedules that have CHANGED from the original return. So why then does Turbotax's software also include in the printout forms that HAVE NOT CHANGED? I am amending due to a calculation error in turbotax's software on form 8615. The only forms I can see that have changed are 8615 8615 worksheet and the original 1040. Nothing on my schedule D changed or 8995 which for some reason the are including and if thats not confusing enough the the software didn't include the 8615 worksheet which did change. Now maybe worksheets are never sent but still??? Is there an issue with printing out amended returns and the correct forms to be included? Been using TurboTax many years and have to say the last year i have been disappointed.
