Deductions & credits

All I have are the Turbo Tax return and the professionally prepared return which I can compare side-by-side. Most everything matches but when it gets to calculating the tax both ways, they don't match (and they aren't even close). Both Turbo Tax and the CPA did the prior year's return and started from the same point.

 

The differences are limited to Form 8615, and even then, some of the 8615 supporting worksheets match perfectly. I tried to delete 8615 and start over, but it wouldn't let me. So I deleted the investment income that triggers the kiddie tax, saved, and re-entered it, but the results ended up no different.

 

A hint that something is wrong is that every time I sign into that return I first get an alert saying "Here are the tax forms that weren't available for filing the last time you used Turbo Tax" and it lists 8615.  Well clearly, that's not correct as I've worked with the 8615 form for 2 months. @macuser_22 @LinaJ2020
