Following up on my last reply:
As a test, I changed the entry for health insurance premiums in the step by step from $26,642 to zero. The program, nonetheless, shows $26,580 of health insurance premiums. That $26,580 , of course, is the difference between the correct $26,642 health insurance premium amount and the incorrect $53,222 amount that the program inserts when I enter the correct figure. In other words, the program is "inventing" $26,580 of health care premiums out of thin air.
As a further test, both after I changed the entry for health insurance to zero, I generated a PDF return, with all worksheets. I searched for "26,580". Sure enough, $25,580 appeared in line 17 of Schedule 1-- even though "0" appeared in line 14 of form 7206.
Even worse, the program does not allow me to manually override the error, neither in line 10 of form 1040, nor in line 17of schedule 1.
In short, I cannot file my taxes. Please get back to me about this as soon as possible. Thank you.
