Well. it seems that someone in the engineering group may have noticed this thread. I just went back into Turbotax Business 2021 (desktop edition). It loaded an update. There was no specific indication as to the purpose of the update or what issue(s) it is meant to address.
Being curious, I tried entering a value for Payments to independent contractors, and the original issue appears to have been resolved. LOGANESIAN, please retry your situation and post your results.
However, this appears to be a case of "one step forward and one step back". For some reason, my balance sheets are now not correct. These were definitely correct before. When I view Form 1065 p4-5 in FORMS mode, there are no longer any values on Line 9a of Schedule L Balance Sheets per Books. Line 9b for columns (a) and (b), Beginning of tax year, are also blank. Other fields in this form appear to be correct other than the fields that are calculated based on Lines 9a and 9b. I definitely did not touch anything to do with assets or the balance sheets. The individual entries for my assets appear to still be correct. More help please.
