OK, I looked at your token from March 25th. Yes, the Review showed the error message for WI Schedule I, Part II, line 1a, Col II, and asked me to enter it. I entered zero. I reran the Review and the error disappeared.   So let me confirm - are you using the Online product or the Desktop product? My test was on the Desktop product, and indeed, the only way I can see your token is using the Desktop product.    If you are using the Online product, I will have to build the test - I can do it, but it just takes longer.

Thanks, I sent a message to my payroll department. They responded: I have pushed your inquiry to ADP for verification as to where they came up with the amount for Box 11. I agree with you, I don’t see any nonqualified plans set up for you. I am not sure what ADP will do in this case. I will let you know what they say once they reply.   Guess I will wait for a reply. 

Wait how?? Please help I’m stuck on this… it only started asking me such questions when i filled out form 1095-A, and now it’s showing me all these to input state id and local id, but i haven’t made quarterly payments and i don’t understand what this priors year and all that means?? Can you tell me how you fixed it, and also do you know why this popped up, my payments are $0

Hello,   It is not clear to me if this 1099-B must be reported if there is no other reason to file a tax return for the child. It is an unearned income loss, which is apparently not reportable.    Michael      

Are you using TurboTax Desktop or TurboTax Online?  Did you link a bank account to import expenses as mentioned above?  If using TurboTax Online, Edit your Business, then Edit your Miscellaneous Expenses to see if a category is showing with a $0 amount.   In TurboTax Desktop, go to FORMS at the top right, and 'Open Form' Schedule C to see if there are expenses listed just above Line 48 with a $0 amount.   @zadavat     

I agree I also will vote with my wallet next year too. I personally would pay more to get a product that does not generate a massive amount of extra work like this "TT feature" has for me this year. How did I come to this conclusion: 1) This issue was brought to TT attention over 2 months ago.  Throughout this period several employee responses suggested that the issue was how the customers were not clearing cache, closing sessions with the financial websites, etc. In other words, it was assumed that the customer was causing the problem before fully investigating the problem.    2) It took a customer, not an TT employee to finally disclose the fact that TT considers this time consuming issue for the customer a "feature". 3) This is the second TT issue that impacted my tax preparation. The other one was also considered a 'feature' even though it was clearly proven to be a defect in the product. In that issue TT employees also pushed back providing possible resolutions that suggested it was a customer generated problem.  In reference to this issue (Import from Financial Institution...) I REALLY, REALLY. REALLY hope that the process of deleting previously imported data was NOT 'by design", because that would be a clear indication that TT is not thinking about providing tax prep software that truly is designed with the customer in mind.

Sorry - I mean NJ 1040 Line 20A, the taxable part of the IRA distributions. And I do not seem to be able to manually change it in Forms mode, so I have no idea how to adjust it appropriately to reflect the reduction in taxable distributions.

Yeah, I know where it is on the IL tax form, and I found it on TurboTax desktop (It's under "Income", not "Credits and taxes"), but still can't find it on TurboTax Online. At any rate, I'm switching to Desktop.
