Deductions & credits
We beat on TTX earlier this year about this to no end.
TTX staff (In the lounge) indicated that particular situation would not be covered this year, even though it has been for the past several years. This situation is on the TTX list of unsupported calculations, but it has ben on each years unsupported list for the past few years when it was actually supported in the software without complaint.
( Unless they've updated the software to allow it since ~April...but my desktop software doesn't seem to allow it still, and it is current. )
____________________________
ONLY..Those with the Desktop software "can" force the software to allow, and post, the SS credit, by
1) first paying attention to, and writing down, the overpayment amount listed during the interview...
2) .then switching to "Forms Mode" and opening the 1040/1040SR worksheet
3) Scrolling waaaaay down to the Schedule 3 section.
4) and just below line 10 on the schedule 3, is a box with the SS Overpayment amount showing as a zero...you replace that with proper overpayment amount from # 1 above.
____________________________
Again though, this should only be done when the W-2 forms come from a W-2/Payroll Agent who is issuing W-2 forms for two (or more) different companies for the same person, but using the Agent's one EIN on both of the W-2 forms.
Doing this probably voids any TTX software guarantee...and I have no idea your entry will block e-filing....it's not really an official "override" since the "override" selection si not required to make the entry.
