Thanks for providing that additional Information about Idaho, @haleyrsd! It is a little disconcerting for these issues to be around still, and that tax returns being able to be filed. The calculation error is a simple matter that is easily fixable, but more concerning is that it is easily auditable by the state revenue agency. It just takes an agent one look at the state income tax addback being reported, and one look at the Federal Schedule A to see the discrepancy and issue a notice of adjustment for additional taxes owed plus penalties and interest.
@rolanddawson2500, I definitely understand the hesitation and anxiety with e-filing a tax return through software in which we have to override the calculations and input a manual entry, especially if we cannot easily see the XML file that shows all the numbers that are actually being transmitted to the tax authorities. As an Oklahoma filer myself, in this situation, I may utilize the Oklahoma Taxpayer Access Point website (https://oktap.tax.ok.gov/) and see if I qualify to e-file my state tax return directly with the Oklahoma Tax Commission. This is a more manual process than using the Turbotax software but using the state tax portal will allow me to hold myself accountable for the tax figures I am reporting and gives me comfort knowing that I know exactly what numbers the state is receiving. Using the OK TAP website is also free, so that is a bonus 🙂
However, I would still like to hear how Turbotax is addressing this issue, whether that the issue is being looked at (or not) or address/acknowledge the audit risk related to this issue, either for those returns already filed or returns that will be filed through Turbotax before a fix is released.
