Deductions & credits

Completely agree.  All this stuff I just posted I actually figured out last year and didn't bother posting it because it is a lot and I figured someone at the company would have fixed it by now because they are the "Experts".

 

All of this is a bigger issue now because of when the tax code was rewritten to reduce the amounts you could deduct.  This 750k limit didn't exist before tax year 2019, I am not sure what it was before. 

 

Also, again , I am not an expert.  And I do put blame on the politicians that wrote up this mess to begin with.  It doesn't all fall on TurboTax.  The IRS examples are not as clear as they could be, and I don't think they could be.  Look at how huge this one publication is.  That is just a small portion of all these other documents.

 

If you have to start breaking numbers down into the different ways of calculating an average and you haven't provided one specific equation to use, you are really asking for a mess.
