Deductions & credits
I'm still having the same issue so I spoke to a TT help desk rep today. She agreed that there seems to be a problem and tried to help troubleshoot the issue. At first, we walked through the process using the TT interview mode with no success. The she had me switch to the Forms mode to see if I could fill in the field on the Form 5695. I was able to fill in most of the applicable lines but TT wouldn't allow me to fill in the worksheet between lines 30 and 31. After several tries, I right clicked on the field for the 1st line in the worksheet (which is from 1040 line 18) and then clicked on "override" which allowed me to key it in and then TT inserted the remaining lines and calculated the appropriate credit.
Needless to say, the TT rep and I both agreed that isn't a user-friendly work around. She said the TT tech team would review her notes and hopefully see if they can improve the process for the future. Hope this helps.
