Under deductions and credit section, I entered 1099-Q details for payments from qualified education program.&nbsp; The math on the form is correct - the earnings plus the basis equal the total gross distribution and all were entered without error.&nbsp; Turbotax software continues to display error that gross distribution is <U>not</U> equal to the amounts showing (earnings plus basis).&nbsp; I have validated multiple times that the math is correct but the software will not recognize it as accurate.&nbsp; How do I fix?&nbsp;</P> Fri, 27 Feb 2026 14:58:06 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/technical-help-turbotax-software-incorrectly-identifying-math-error/01/3805087#M1415331 elml331 2026-02-27T14:58:06Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-technical-help-turbotax-software-incorrectly-identifying-math-error/01/3807991#M1416413 <P><SPAN style="font-size:14px;">You might try deleting the Form 1099-Q and re-entering it to see if that helps. &nbsp;Perhaps there was a hidden character added to one of the fields somehow.</SPAN></P> Sat, 28 Feb 2026 21:36:07 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-technical-help-turbotax-software-incorrectly-identifying-math-error/01/3807991#M1416413 AnnetteB6 2026-02-28T21:36:07Z
