Dear Monika,
Thank you for running a test repeating the process I used. Wow! I'm surprised that you were able to confirm the problem I found that appears to be a bug. It is good to know my process was sound but distressing to find I've uncovered what is now looking even more like a bug in TT's California return.
Thank you, too, for reporting the situation to TT. I couldn't find any instructions about how to submit a bug report to TT. I looked. I wrote that off to their confidence in the accuracy of their products and that, along with their 100% accurate guarantee made me assume I was making a mistake somewhere and only seeing the appearance of a bug, not an actual bug.
Thank you for offering a way to correct the California return to get around this issue for the present. I have used it and so far it appears to resolve the bottom line issue with my California return. I'm going to move on and complete my returns with that fix in place.
I appreciate you very much - your expertise, your level of engagement in the TT community, your willingness to run tests, your detailed guides to fixing problems, your detailing of workarounds when TT doesn't work as it should - and to do all that in a timely way within two days of the tax deadline! Just awesome! Thanks for everything!
