Deductions & credits

Hi,

The calculations in Form 2106 are not updating to reflect the 80% for Meals covered by DOT rules?

Step 1 - Enter Your Expenses is correct

A     Meals covered by DOT rules regarding hours of service limits

 

The problem I am having is under Step 3 - Figure Expenses to Deduct:

Line #8 is correct (carrying down the figures entered)

 

Line #9  is automatically is automatically calculating at 50% (Column B line 8 * .50) rather than 80% (Column B Line *.80)?

 

TurboTax software allows me to OVERRIDE the calculation? 

 

Should I OVERRIDE this and enter the correct amount (Column B Line *.80)?

 

Thank you for your help!
