Hi,
I had to call Intuit/TubroTax about this and got to speak with an Enrolled Agent. In short, the program is correct. If you go to the 'Forms' section, see Georgia Form 500, page 3, lines 20-21. Line 20 is the amount of the credit ($2,500 if you took the max.) and line 21 is simply a sum of lines 17-20. Assuming you had no other credits, line 21 should be the same as line 20.
The Enrolled Agent agreed the step-by-step portion of the program is deceptive in that it looks like you are claiming 2 credits (Education Expense, Business & Individual), but you are actually only claiming one. You don't know this unless you look at the form to see the details.
In addition, there is currently a software glitch in at least the CD/download version that prevents entering the credit #, your name, certificate #, credit amount appearing on the same line. The Enrolled Agent was going to bring this up to the attention of others. However, this shouldn't effect our ability to file.
Hope this helps.
