@esudduth There is no need to have that box checked if you are not eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit. You can e-file your tax return without the box being checked and the IRS will accept your tax return.  If you have a tax refund the IRS will pay the tax refund without having the box checked.   Been there....Done that

I am having the same issue with the wrong value being pulled into form 8829 from schedule C (line 28 instead of line 29 or 31). Did you figure out a solution? As someone else mentioned, it appears to be a programming issue. 

this sounds like an issue with the 1099-R entries or supplemental questions after the 1099-R.  You should go back through that section and make sure everything is answered.  You can also try deleting and re-inputting the 1099-R again, especially if it was imported.   you can also check the IRA Information Worksheet in forms mode if you are on Destkop and look for anything missing or any errors.  Double-clicking on Lines 6/7 on Form 8606 should show the related forms.  For Online you may need to look at the PDF with 'all forms and worksheets'.

That code T indicates a taxable distribution.  You should contact the folks at Fidelity and request a corrected 1099-R.  Otherwise the IRS will quite rightly expect you to pay taxes on the withdrawal of excess contributions.

There is not a place on the Form 1040-X for an incorrect amount for underpayment penalties. Instead you must use Form 843. This is not a form in the TurboTax product because it's not part of the tax return. You will select a reason and complete, sign and mail the form to the IRS. Use your amendment details to complete the form. I would lean towards sending the correction with the Form 843.  Instructions Form 843

If the work you performed in New Jersey was not the final product sold to the customer, you would not report NJ income. The general rule is income sourced in a state is taxed by that state, which implies a sale or payment occurred for the work in that state.   However, if the film was produced and finalized in New Jersey, you would need to file a non-resident New Jersey tax return.
