I think you nailed it. I think Turbotax never bothered to fix the problem and never bothered to explain the process. As a result I wasted days talking with various people at Turbotax, several of whom told me to put "zero" directly in the smarty worksheet, one of whom hung up on me without a word after two or three minutes, a tax advisor at Turbotax to told me he wasn't familiar with the program and couldn't help, another tax advisor who said he "wasn't going to talk to an engineer" and hung up on me. It wasn't until I talked to Greg this morning that I got any help on this issue. He found your post and sent me a link.
Thank you for identifying this problem A MONTH AGO. Unfortunately, Turbotax apparently doesn't care.
