I am the person who raised the question initially. Two points: One, the problem which arises is the gov't will not accept my return by internet unless this is corrected; Two, my wife, and a previous answer-er, hit the answer on the head, which is, I copied a'zero' instead of an 'O' on my Turbotax form. Problem solved!
