The issue does not have any thing to do with the carry over amount. And I will add that Turbo Tax correctly fills the form in properly, which at least allows paper filing the return. The mount of the credit allowed for previous years, ie., 2017-2020 must now equal to my current filing status which is single, thus only $400 is allowed. When I filed in 2017-2020, I was married and could utilize the full $800 amount. Turbo Tax, in their error check, wants me to change the 2017-2020 credit amount allowed to $400, which is not correct. There was no carry over in any years except the year 2020 return, and TT properly carried the credit forward and filled the form out correctly, but gave me the same error for all previous filing years.
There has to be a bug in the error check program that only allows a credit equal to my most current years filing status, single thus only a $400 credit is allowed for this year and all previous years.
