Enhanced Deduction for Seniors not generating for Married Filing Separately
I've read through other responses about the Enhanced Deduction for Seniors not generating for some people. I narrowed it down to the Married Filing Separately filing status. Data does not appear in Schedule 1-A or in the tax return when I select Married Filing Separately. But when I change the filing status to Married Filing Jointly or Single, it generates correctly. Unfortunately, I cannot file our taxes with either status.
Is there a way to override this problem and somehow enter the updated information into the 1040 form? If not, how soon can this be fixed? I'd really hate it if I spent $55 on unusable tax software.
