I am 100% sure I filed owing way more than necessary with TT for 2019 for this exact reason. This is a simple problem but TT fails here. Its very common. I now have two scenarios. 1) sell a home over the limit, but a home over the limit. Now its even a refi for the dame home. To see the problem all you need to do is add both, then remove one, and you may see you are better off claiming the bigger one, not claiming both on interest. I gave up last year and filed anyway assuming the tax law had me for some reason. I sold a home, purchased a home. Both over 750k (California that's a 2 bedroom apartment). I had one home for 9 months, the second was double the cost for 3. If I removed the 3 month I got more back. But it was close to half the interest of the first. Why?
I saved a few bucks with TurboTax and I believe it cost me 100X. Please fix this. I have the same issue this year. This year, all I did was refi. I purchased in aug 2019. Refi in Feb 2020. If I enter just the refi (march to dec) then I get back tons, If I add the smaller one from jan to feb, then I owe big time. I went to the forms and the answers are WRONG. I did the wizard questions 3 times now. At least I know when the number should go up or down. But so mad I filed last year and have to fix that. Big $$ lost.
FIX PLEASE for the sake of all
