I hope you can understand that I have no way to know who you are, so am naturally skeptical. With the world as it is and hackers so talented, I couldn't take a chance. I meant no disrespect. I did however try again to contact Turbo Tax and when I finally got to a supervisor, I asked about your resolution. That supervisor transferred me directly to a Turbo Tax CPA specialist who did, in fact, exactly what you suggested. When the sanitized version of the return was run thru their program, it calculated the over 65 correctly, but also came up with totally different results. Turns out that was not the only issue. Numerous areas were not being calculated and figures not put into the form. Seems that my issue this whole time was a corrupted Turbo Tax disk. After downloading a new copy from a link I was given, everything came out fine.
I do appreciate all the help and suggestions I received from you and the community forum. I want to thank you for your suggestion as it was that suggestion that finally led me to an answer.
Glad you got it solved.
Actually, I wish there more like you. You would be surprised to see all of the naive posters here who post their full name, address, phone number and SSN. We have to tell them to edit their post and delete all personal information since this is an open forum that anyone in the world can read and use that information to steal their identity. We even move the post to a secure area that only the moderators can read and we alert the moderators to scrub the post.
