So how is this solved if we are all still screwed?


I'm not sure why the article is marked solved.  That's a "containment" article that acknowledges there is a problem and gives you a way to sign up to be notified when there is an answer. 


I believe it's marked "solved" because it has probably been fixed for anyone filing a *new* tax return.    Fixing the software will not change any tax return already sent to the IRS.    Fixing the software cannot *solve* an error on a tax return accepted by the IRS - that is not legally possible.   Once the IRS has a return, any error can only be corrected with an amended tax return mailed by the taxpayer.
