I am using Turbo Tax Premier. I’ve been purchasing Turbo Tax (TT) at a store since 2005. That is 17 years. I am taking the itemized deduction even though the standard deduction is at a slightly higher amount. I am doing this because my combined federal and state taxes are lower. My state accepts the itemized deductions from schedule A and it lowers my state taxes and effectively both taxes. So I am itemizing for both the federal and state. The TT program would identify an error on the 1040 SR wks line 12b, I would correct the error by deleting the $600 and TT would indicate that the error has been corrected. However, TT would re-populate the $600 in two occasions.
- When I recheck my state return (the line 12b problem occurs and I would have to fix it again, TT temporarily fixes the problem) and
- When I am wrapping everything up taxes, this is what the following screen shows
- Done with states, ---- this is ok
- Let’s make sure things are correct ----this is ok
- Give us a minute to look things over ---- this is ok
- Tax Summary for 2021 (at this point it has already re-populate the $600 – because my federal taxes are lowered by $200) ---- the error returns
- Let’s check these entries (this is the error screen showing the S600 on 1040 SR wks on line 12b) --- the same darn error occurs
In other words, Turbo Tax program keeps adding the $600 on the 1040 SR wks line 12b.
