Deductions & credits
This error subsequently causes an error on the Idaho state tax filing in Turbo Tax as well. I saw a work-around for the error in dollar amount for Married Filing jointly and who are using the standard deduction on the Federal Return. Initially the amount on line 12b auto-fills with $300. Because the dollar amount should be $600 you need to go back into the deductions and indicate you want to change from standard to itemized deductions. It will then auto-fill with the correct $600 amount. You then go back again to deductions and switch it to standard deductions. Review and you'll see that the $600 sticks.
This does not resolve the problem in the Idaho tax state form. It still sees a $300 amount and causes an error when you run the error checking program when finished. if you remove the $300 (even though it should be showing $600 (I suppose), your expected Refund is reduced.
I've put in a support ID and phoned Turbo Tax. I told the agent to make it an urgent request. I'm not satisfied that the problem will get appropriately addressed or a bug fix implemented in a timely matter. I hope I'm wrong because I'd like to submit my taxes with error free forms. Guess the alternative is doing them myself and using snail mail.
