Yes, you're correct that there's a software issue, and I'm going to be submitting it today, but thankfully you can make the change manually on your end; here are the steps:
1. Open the return, switch to Forms view
2. Select Federal Form 1040
3. Scroll down to Line 6b, taxable S.S. income, and write down that number (not the Line 6a amount -- the smaller taxable amount)
4. Scroll down to Georgia Individual forms
5. Select Inc/Ret Wks
6. Scroll down to worksheet line 9 S.S. income, look at columns C and D - there's an amount in both columns
7. Change Line 9 column C to 33,553
8. Change Line 9 column D to 12,496
9. Verify C + D = the taxable number you wrote down in step 3
10. Select Schedule 3 from the GA Individual forms
11. Double check that Line 8 A - B - C = 0
The red text should have disappeared automatically
12. Select Errors and verify that the error has been cleared
13. Complete and e-file the return as normal
14. Select GA Schedule 1 from the forms list
15. Scroll to Line 8 S.S. Benefits and change this number to the taxable number from Step 3
16. Select Errors to verify that nothing has gone haywire
17. Double check the math on Schedule 3 and select Errors to verify the error check is still clear
18. Complete and e-file the return as normal
I apologize for any confusion; I assumed updating the GA Inc/Ret Wks would flow the number correctly to every GA schedule as it did so for Schedule 3, and then I checked Schedule 1 after posting this. Please manually change the number in both places, and you may also review the PDF printout of your state return.
