@LinaJ2020  (apologies for the long post)

 

I'm about to hit the 4x e-file limit, so I'd appreciate advice before I press the button to file again.

My program indicates it is up to date if I use the menu option :  online-> 'check for updates' .

Online-> 'view installed updates' shows that state, federal tax forms and program updates are all at "(Released 4/1/2020)" level.

However, I don't see any changes to the values on form 8615 or its worksheets.  And I still see what appears to be conflicting information on two of the worksheets - "8615 L7 Qual Dv" and "8615 L7".  I have deleted the forms and worksheets and re-entered the information for the parent, but no changes in the resulting values.

These are the 8615 related forms I see: (form view: Forms in My Return)

Form 8615

     8615 QDCG Wks

     8615 L7 Qual Dv

     8615 Parent Wk

8615 L7

Other than a minor difference in the header information, the two L7 worksheets seems to have the identical instructions and calculations.  BUT, the values entered by TTax starting on line 2 are different and the result (line 26) ends up being different.  The value on line 26 is transferred to line 7 on form 8615.

If I select the value on line 7 of form 8615, it highlights the field and presents a magnifying glass that takes me to the supporting form (8615 L7, line 26), which doesn't match.  8615 L7 Qual Dv, line 26 DOES match the value on form 8615 line 7, but that isn't where the program takes me via the magnifying glass link.

I had concluded that this difference between for 8615 and the linked worksheet was the reason that the filing was repeatedly rejected, but that is solely a guess.

I would appreciate your insight into whether this is still an issue, ready to file or other actions to take to ensure success.

Thanks,
