State tax filing

I e-filed my MI return and was tripped by this MESP withdrawal line Line 21.  The state reviewed my filing and denied part of my refund.  When I reviewed the calculations manually, I learned that Turbo Tax has a calculation error. The instructions to the MI Form 1040 clearly indicated you can't have MESP withdrawals in Line 21.  

 

I have been using Turbo Tax for the last 20 years and this is the first time that I encountered an error. Turbo Tax was unable to catch that error, in fact, asks that question (Step-by-Step) to enter that information, which is misleading. Turbo Tax should compensate for the error.
