I keep getting errors for form 8960 that is keeping me from filing. I read it was an issue a few months ago, but had been fixed. Am I doing something wrong? Form does not apply to me.

Form 8960 is automatically generated by the program (i.e., generated only when necessary).

If you are getting errors, you should contact Support (link below) during regular business hours.

yeah, the program created form 8960 and worksheet. did it twice to make sure but I still get these forms. Per IRS, form 8960 is not required on sale of a primary residence . . . Only Sch D and Form 8949.

There is a program glitch

There is no program glitch, as far as I can determine. I have done several tests and the only instances in which the program created an 8960 is when I exceeded the threshold amounts based on filing status.
