DoninGA, Thanks for you reply. (1) I checked for update. Result: I have current version. Appears update not to have corrected the error.
I tried the following fixes with no success.
(2) I tried re-inputting SSAN. Result: still truncates leading zero and get 'invalid SSSN' message.
(3) Deleted Recipient. Added as 'new' recipient. Result: still truncates leading zero and get 'invalid SSSN' message,
(4) Deleted Recipient, Saved / closed program, restarted program, input to blank input sheet 'new' recipient. Result: still truncates leading zero and get 'invalid SSSN' message.
I realize a 'work around' is to go to the Tax Forms input (rather than the Step-by-Step input), and that does get the desired result. BUT since this seems to be a issue, at least for me, I wanted to make someone at TT is aware that a leading zero in an SSAN for Alimony recipient still truncates in the Home and Business s/w version I am using.
Thanks for your thoughtful comments in working for a solution.
