Unemployment Tax Withholding Reported on Wrong Line

According to the instructions for form 1040:

Line 25c—Other Forms
Include on line 25c any federal income
tax withheld on your Form(s) W-2G.
The amount withheld should be shown
in box 4. Attach Form(s) W-2G to the
front of your return if federal income tax
was withheld.

 

But the withholding was included on line 25b instead of 25c.  I realize this doesn't affect taxes, but it should be reported correctly in the software.  Is this something TurboTax is going to fix?

    Unemployment comes on a 1099G not a W2G.  Line 25b is right.  A W2G is for gambling winnings.
