Thanks for your reply. Given your comment about "in the background" I went looking harder in Turbo. I had been in forms mode many times, but I never expected the "open form" button would have any forms that contained my information unless they were included in the list of forms pertinent to my return. I wish I had seen that populated copy of 8959 in the back before I spent many hours researching the topic because I thought I must be making a mistake or missing something. At least now I feel validated, but I still have to generate and file a 1040X, and probably wait 6 or 9 months for the refund. I appreciate your explanation.
