There is another thread on this same subject with almost 4,100 views prior to it being locked by a Moderator https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/form-1040-line-12b-shows-unacceptable-value/00/24.... Other threads on this have been closed as "Problem Solved". Most would disagree. I have never heard a workaround called a "Fix". A workaround is a temporary solution to allow business continuity until a change control can be implemented to fix the issue. If we are audited, do we tell the IRS or State that we were told to use this workaround from TT?
I have used TT Desktop version Premier or Deluxe, which I get from Costco, and prior to that from a mutual fund company. A friend uses HRBlock software. He is agreeable to showing me the software. Is it better or not, I don't know, but for the first time in 15 years I will be exploring what my options are next year.
