On Form 8936, the Filing Status codes that can be entered are different than the codes listed on the form. The codes selectable in the drop-down box (1 through 5) are not the same as the form selections (S, MFS, etc.). Details are as follows:
Form 8936 Filing Status Turbotax line 5 entries (from drop-down list)
Single (S) 1 = Single
Married filing separately (MFS) 2 = Married Filing Jointly
Head of Household (HOH) 3 = Married Filing Separately
Married filing jointly (MFJ) 4 = Head of Household
Qualifying surviving spouse (QSS) 5 = Qualifying Surviving Spouse
There does not appear to be any way to modify these codes manually in the Turbotax form, so I either have to file the return as-is or manually correct it on a paper copy and mail in the form.
Are there any other options to resolve this?
