This is untrue. I posted about this Turbo Tax programming error back in first week of March. I worked at a CPA office over 30 years & prepared tax returns. I answered that question "No", ran the program & it showed no errors! Since I know you should always review a return (even if it shows no errors), & not depend on the software to catch all problems, I reviewed it & found the program did not carry the SS income to the taxable column. The software changed the answer back to Yes on its own when running the final calculation. Also, the default should be set to no, not yes, since the majority of users reside in the states 100% of the time. I can't believe this problem has not been corrected by Turbo Tax considering all the postings of people receiving tax notices for this specific issue! It's very unfortunate, considering so many people will file their tax return thinking everything is good because TurboTax showed "no errors"! But many people are in for a very big bad surprise! They are going to be receiving huge IRS tax notices of unexpected taxes due; or hugely reduced refunds, due to the huge capital gains reported for 2025. Obviously, TurboTax is aware of this problem & chooses to ignore it. I've used Turbo Tax for 9 years & was a fan & recommended it to others. But not anymore.
