Really annoying. Like you I had virtually the same return last year with no problem on the tax calculation. They claim I neglected to enter “no” when asked if I live overseas but I don't believe the system asked me, and even if it had, that should trigger an error warning. 

No offense, but you ought to try something else.    First of all, @AmyC and @DianeW777 are both NOT answering questions at this time as they're listed as "Expert Alumni".   Second, you've packed a TON of data, figures, dates, and facts into a REALLY LONG post that very few, if any will read, much less post a response.    Lastly, you referred to two different states, HI and MD, which very few, again if any, on this board will be able to assist you. It might be better if you either consulted a local tax pro or used a TurboTax assisted service (which would cost extra but probably would be worth it).

To enter Medical expenses just start typing Medical in the search box at the top of your return and pick "medical expenses, sch a" from the drop down list. Then click on Jump To at the top of the list. OR Enter Medical under Federal Taxes Tab or Personal (for H&B) Deductions and Credits Then scroll way down to Medical Then Medical Expenses - click Start or Update

I don't remember those questions. Since the IRS is the US taxes, why would you even ask it that way unless it refers to additional income? Until changed, Social Security in the United States is taxable income.

There is a new question this year asking if you lived in a foreign place. People have been answering it wrong or skipping it. Go back through the Social Security entries and check, check for each spouse if married.  If the IRS adjusted  your return you do not need to amend.    

Based on my conversations with a Turbotax technician today and information on the IRS website https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-reminds-taxpayers-their-social-security-benefits-may-be-taxable you guys should double check the software. I have gone from an expected refund to owing over $2000. Not officially a penalty but it certainly feels like it and you guys need to accept accountability.

Correction: Thanks. 1. "Schedule B in the interest section, below the subtotal for line 1" reads "Excludable interest on series EE and I U.S. savings bonds issued after 1989". Attach Form 8815" My question pertains to the accrued interest paid on brokered CDs (NOT series EE and I US Savings Bonds). There is no form 8815. Brokerage Tax Reporting Statement statement  reports a line item "Accrued Interest Paid on Purchases". 2. I was referring to the statement " So I'm assuming I choose the "accrued interest" reason and leave it at that?  The end result to my refund is the same either way - it subtracts that amount of interest. " in the original (first) message above. So, where do I enter it on Schedule B? Thanks for your help.

I am dealing with this! I received an IRS notice CP11 stating that the taxable Social Security benefits were changed because they were calculated incorrectly. I went from a rare refund in a year when the standard deduction went UP, to more than $2500 owed. This has caused concern for future returns and questioning the liability of Turbotax in this instance. I spoke with a Turbotax technician who states that they calculate this similarly every year but it seems as though the software dropped the ball! This just sucks! Are we supposed to review how the software is done now?????
