It's great that there is a workaround, but I'd like to see more acknowledgement from Intuit that this is a legitimate bug that should be addressed.
Most users assume they can enter their tax forms exactly as received, and that Turbotax will compute the correct tax owed. Indeed, this is the premise of the software.
You should not expect your users to notice something is wrong, search the forums, and find the link to the workaround.
Why not just fix the bug? Think about how many hours would be saved between people posting to forums, moderators responding, etc. Not to mention the damage done to people who will unknowingly overpay their taxes.
The right thing to do for the good of your users is to fix the bug, so that average balance is computed correctly for loans that didn't extend for the entire year. Do the right thing!
