Secure Act - Simple IRA maximum - TurboTax error

TurboTax won't let me enter $21,450 for a Simple IRA payment, insisting the maximum is $19,000.  This is an error - a bug in TurboTax, because the Secure Act increased the amount for employers with less than 25 people, using catch up.  This was reported to TurboTax which claims to have corrected the problem - but the problem still exists on my computer.  Is there anyone who had this problem and has now found that it is fixed on their computer?  I am told that my program is up to date.

Secure Act - Simple IRA maximum - TurboTax error

The latest update purports to fix the bug in that it does not show the return having an error if you enter $21,450 as your Simple IRA payment.  BUT Turbotax calculates your tax incorrectly if you do not manually over-ride two places where it shows the payment as $19,000.  This seems to be the Keogh/Sep IRA worksheet and th 1040 worksheet line 16.  If not fixed, I think some people are going to pay more taxes than they owe!
