No reason to get huffy, especially when you are incorrect.
I am aware of the formula, which is why I know the TT answer is incorrect. And your assumption that I must have "mistakenly entered some other type of self-employed retirement contribution (a SIMPLE IRA, a 401(k) or defined benefit contribution)" is also incorrect, not to mention that it would have made their contribution smaller, not larger than it should be, and their answer is approx. double what it should be.

I tried several times, but just got a recording saying, "This issue requires an expert" and the the recording explained how to buy expert services.
Interesting. Your link does not have a phone number and Turbo Tax will not give a phone number.
Use a more generic issue like "enter income" so you get past the automated system.
If this is for a return you have already filed then you could put in for an accuracy claim instead :

Thank you. Very helpful.
TurboTax calculates the maximum SEP-IRA contribution properly.
Is that a joke? IRS says 20% of an owners net income and Turbo-Tax says 50%?
You've made several questionable assertions with no substantiation to support them. When the Maximize box for a SEP contribution is marked, TurboTax calculates a sole proprietor's SEP contribution as 20% of net earnings (subject to the overall annual limit). Net earnings are net profit minus the deductible portion of self-employment taxes. This is all done on TurboTax's Keogh, SEP and SIMPLE Contribution Worksheet which accurately duplicates the Deduction Worksheet for the Self-Employed in Chapter 5 of IRS Pub 560.
If TurboTax provided a self-employed retirement deduction of more than the amount permitted to be contributed to a SEP-IRA it means that you mistakenly entered some other type of self-employed retirement contribution (a SIMPLE IRA, a 401(k) or defined benefit contribution) or you marked the Maximize box for an individual 401(k).

I am noticing, on my 2019 taxes, an incorrect 2018 Income Summary IRA reporting! I was busy and filed a late 2018, but I can't figure out where this reporting is coming from as I look at my 2019! My .pdf files look correct. Help!!
