Using 2018 Turbotax Business, I prepared the 1041 (Tax Year 2018) for a complex trust in early April 2019. At the end of the preparation, the checking part of the software indicated no errors found, so I filed the return. In October 2019 I received a letter (and refund) of $745.00 that stated "We found an error in the computation of your total income tax". I subsequently researched the IRS memo "Error in Tax Calculation in 2018 Schedule D (Form 1041) Tax Worksheet" and determined it did not apply because I had no 28% rate or unrecaptured section 1250 gain. Furthermore, I downloaded the latest Turbotax software update and the calculation did not change. Would the kind folks at Intuit like to help me figure out why the software finds no error but the IRS does?
