I was not eligible to deduct any IRA, so there was no deduction, and the excess contribution tax was indeed on Schedule 2. line 8. In my amended return that tax is gone from Schedule 2, and so on my 1040-X, line 10, other taxes is reduced by the amount that was in Schedule 2, line 8, on my initial return, as is the amended amount on line 11. I asked for the amount originally on the Schedule 2, line 8, to be refunded. After waiting two months per IRS directive, having not received a written response from them, I called and was told that, based on their review of my amended return, submitted electronically, no change in taxes was applicable.
So what gives? I did notice in going through the Deductions and credits, Traditional IRA and Roth IRA section again, TurboTax had only the box for Traditional IRAs, not the one for Roth IRA checked as well. Could that be what screwed up the amended filing?
