I asked a question a few days ago and bookmarked it. I checked on it the next day, and it had no answers. I checked just now and it says "Sorry, we couldn't find that question. It may have been archived or deleted."
My question revealed a possible TurboTax bug. Is this a coverup, or am I just being paranoid?
I checked my email and there was nothing about an answer, although I do have an email saying that the question was posted.
I would more then happy to help you.
If you have the link to the question still available just post it as a reply and I can unarchive it for you.
Thanks, here's the link! <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4556345">https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4556345</a>
Thank you! You should be able to access your question now.
Great, thanks! May I ask why it was archived in the first place? I did not receive any notification to that effect.
And now it's archived/deleted again. Why is this happening? Does my question break some rule? I really need it answered before I purchase TurboTax Self-Employed.
This one is likely due to the 6 days with no answer being posted. It will keep disappearing.
And now when I try to reply to the comments, it says my account is under review for possible ToS violations. I guess I'll wait and see if they say anything about why (they haven't yet).
That's due to the hyperactive spam filter. If posts happen too frequently in a thread. Ignore the TOS part. It's all done by a "robot" thinking frequent posting is spam.
Okay, thanks. I wish they would explain all of these procedures when they carry them out. When they silence me without an explanation, it seems like they're doing it with sinister intent.
If they published the anti-spam filter techniques then spammers could redesign their spam to work around them. It's hard enough to keep spam out of this forum without helping them.
Most likely it will continue to be archived because it is more than 6 days old, and the filter zaps it after 6 days if there is no official answer in the Answer section.. Can you re-post it?
It's still archived, but we SuperUsers can see it. I'll post it here, and then user can copy and paste it into a new thread.
@hypehuman
User, here's your question is you want to paste and re-post it.
TurboTax "Federal Refund" ignores "Self-Employment Tax"
I did my taxes manually and then came to TurboTax to double check. It calculates a larger refund than I do. The strange thing is that the refund amount is off by exactly the amount of the self-employment tax, in my case $374. This amount shows up correctly when I look at the section specifically about the self-employment tax, but the federal refund amount ignores it.
Is there some way that TurboTax figured out to appropriately avoid paying the self-employment tax, or is it a bug in the software?
Thanks! It seems strange that they wouldn't even let me see my own question and see that it has no answers, and explain why the question was removed. I'm surprised that the forum isn't full of people asking what happened to their questions!
Lots of threads disappear, even with comments, if there is no "Answer" after 6 days. If I see an active thread about to disappear in the next day, sometimes I will "answer" with the words such as "To save thread."
I see you already got a quick comment in your new thread. Good luck.
