Deductions & credits

Hi @RogerD1 , 

 

Thanks for providing this workaround. However, as I alluded to in an earlier post, I am really hesitant to fabricate non-existent miscellaneous income just to undo a deduction I shouldn't be claiming due to a software glitch. Falsifying income doesn't seem like the right way to bypass a limitation in the software. I would really prefer that the underlying glitch be escalated and fixed so the software correctly handles this for PA part-year residents.

 

Additionally, this workaround doesn't solve the issue that the PA state income tax return requires pages 1 and 2 of the federal Form 1040 to be sent alongside Form 1040, Schedule 1 (see screenshot below) with my return whenever an HSA contribution deduction is claimed.  I want to avoid having to deal with PA state tax officials claiming my tax return is missing documents like Form 1040, Schedule 1 in the future.

 

Could you please escalate this issue to the software development team so they can properly resolve the bug?

Thanks again for your time and help!
