I don't agree with modifying either the box 1 or box 2 of 1098s. These forms are sent by lenders and why would I have to modify these forms and trigger an IRS audit? TurboTax has a problem in their software and they should fix this instead of suggesting these "Shady" workarounds?
I don't agree with some "Expert" saying you are backed by Intuit's 100% audit guarantee? First of all come audit time and Intuit will back out saying our guarantee does not cover "falsified" information. I am sure the small print has language covering this and I am sure there must be language that will say these "Expert" opinions are not an official position of Intuit.
And secondly this may be a tactic used by Intuit into making us buy an Audit Defense service.
This is highway robbery and and such practices need to be reported to the appropriate Federal and State agencies.
