Short story is that turbo tax doesn't accommodate Linux users for cd/download. They also don't like to give people who know what they're doing the ability to make sure their return is correct.
In a prior year, i input my 1098-T exactly as it was on the form, but was flagged by the info returns matching, because turbo tax assumes all tuition paid is by the student. Mine was paid by the gi bill. It lied to the IRS and said that i paid that tuition. Granted i should've sifted though all of the pages at the end to make sure it was right. Now, that's why i want to see what it's doing now, before submitting or paying.
Turbo tax has a history of deception, which is why the government is suing them over their "free free free" commercials.
