So Turbotax answer is: Research the IRS publicatins and do your taxes manually and then fill in the numbers in TurboTax using whatever workarounds need to override the TurboTax calculations and hope Turbotax still lets you file electronically. Got it.
Another work around I found was to do the calculations manually then enter the difference between that calculation and Turbotax calculation as a health insurance premium in the outside expense section of the k-1 shedule. Seems to work.
My next question is why do I have to spend 10+ hours reading IRS publication, searching the web, posting, doing manual calculations and multiple IRS worksheels, digging through the Turbotax worksheets, all in effort to find out why TurboTax thinks my deduction is limited? Then trying various workarounds to see what will produce an accurate return. I buy this program so I don't have to do all that.
I apprciate all the suggestions, Honestly, I think the best answer is to try a different company next year. After using this program for 20+ years, it is probally time to move on. It is a great program for w-2 wage earners with simple deductions but appears to be lacking for others.
