Does this imply that the whole process of entering the details from the 1098s, and dealing with TT inconsistencies with IRS forms, is essentially irrelevant, since the only thing that matters is your manual calculation of the limitation amount anyway? I've been fighting with the 1098 forms in TT for days, and even spent an hour on the phone with a CPA that works with Intuit... and the worksheets still don't have correct amounts on them... but the limitation calculations are correct, since I did them manually in TT.
