I am sorry but your recommendation does not work. I spent the entire morning on this issue after having tried all the recommendations listed in the TurboTax Community (all four pages of the previous discussions).
The only I seem to make TurboTax accept my inputs is by either
1. switching to Itemized deductions (results in my bill going up several hundreds of dollars) or
2. listing 0 in both 10.a and 10.b (doing this will negate the benefit of standard deduction for this entry and makes my tax bill go up by $100+).
It's so frustrating that if I could switch to TaxAct, I would but I have already paid my filing fees to TurboTax so I am stuck now. Please don't tell me to print my returns and ship them to the IRS, then paying TurboTax to eFile my returns seems pointless.
There has gotta be a fix or a simpler way, isn't there?
