Retirement tax questions
TT has not fixed this issue. I had excess Medicare taxes withheld and was correctly calculated on F8959, summarized on line 24. TT did not carry this amount to line 25c of my form 1040. Instead, TT auto-populated line 25c with a negative $4536 (yes, that is a -$4536)! This ultimately means TT calculated my tax liability to be overstated by this amount! Unfortunately, I did not catch this until after I e-filed and the IRS accepted my forms. I now have to file an amended return. I called TT but was on hold for over 2 hours, so I gave up...not that they could do anything for me specifically anyways.
It's misleading because TT always does a "verification" at the end of the online process to make sure everything is correctly filled out. This was a costly mistake and I'm now paranoid that this same auto-mistake has been done in past filings and will have to spend time reviewing previous years tax returns. Thank you TT for a job not well done. Just fix your program already!
