@fanfare - Honestly, other than the exchange prompting me to check and double-check figures and reconfirming it all, no change or resolution came from this thread from the time I started the thread...
@fanfare - If you start at the beginning of this thread and read every post I think you'll agree there was no progress made that benefited me in my search to resolve my problem that was actually caused by two bugs or glitches in TurboTax's system.
Now, let me be clear - I appreciate anyone trying to help, but as I'm sure you will agree, if the advice is not helpful it is likewise not useful, so it is not worthwhile.
Obviously, I was hopeful to gain at least some degree of understanding about such things as why I had blanks instead capital loss carryover amounts on my Schedule D, and also why an imported 1099-INT interest was duplicated, doubling the amount of that interest and inappropriately increasing my income - with both of these problems necessitating that I file a 1040X amendment to correct them - - though only one was corrected and a refund given, and as you know the other has not been corrected (as far I as know) and no refund has been given. It's really not that hard to follow this thread and realize that I have not been helped...
That's no disrespect to you or anyone else, the TurboTax community forum is just not meant to respond to anything more than the very basic of needs and definitely not provide answers to what I was asking about, which happens to be more than basic stuff because my problems were due to bugs or glitches that people like you have no clue what caused the problem or how to fix it - other than recommend to the customer to file a 1040X amendment to correct TurboTax created problems. Really?
Sadly, I think a lot of TurboTax customers look for more help than the so-called experts are usually capable to provide. In most cases you get what you pay for!
It's really meaningless and quite ludicrous and unnecessarily sarcastic to tell a customer they are responsible for submitting an accurate tax return when they are dealing with problems caused by TurboTax . In multiple past years the TurboTax system has always auto-filled certain Schedule D lines correctly with remaining capital loss carryover amount, so the fact of the matter is that an existing long-term TurboTax customer should be able to count on and expect the same to happen in future years, year after year. That should be a fair and reasonable expectation with any continuously provided service. In legal terms that is referred to as 'reasonable expectations'. In that regard, it's pretty crass to throw out the accusation it's the customer's fault something caused a mess and a big headache when it was TurboTax that was at fault. The community 'experts' seem to have a view that 'it ain't our fault'...and since we have no clue how to fix it I'll just tell you to file a 1040X amendment or maybe a 1040X amendment No.2... I'm not the only long-term TurboTax customer that feels this way...
Okey-Doke?
