Retirement tax questions

Yes, your first example demonstrates a bug.  That appears to be a new page in online TurboTax for this year.  The desktop version of TurboTax does not appear to have that page and does the calculations correctly.

 

I suspect that if the online version did not block the entry of proper spousal contributions, the underlying tax forms would be prepared correctly.

 

TurboTax developers seem to be adding a bunch of buggy fluff to the online version this year.
