The Social Security Worksheet on line 8 and 20 are incorrect. Should be zero on line 8 and D on line 20. How do I fix it? Doesn't show up in Easy Steps.

I think my initial question is clear. Since the filer is divorced it should have put a D on line and entered zero on Line 8. Cannot locate any place to change it.

Are you meaning to file Married Filing Separately?

If so, Turbo Tax reads the filing status from the Personal Info section.

Line 20 of the Social Security worksheet asks for a number, not a letter.

If you have any more questions, please post back to THIS thread.

I misinterpreted Line 8. The person in question was divorced in 2016 so the caveat in parens does not apply. Its a fine point.
