I have been using TurboTax for years and this year I find out that the program automatically uses Schedule 3 form 1040 whether or NOT it is needed!!!! I have close family members who have had their refunds, child credits and payments DELAYED because this software added $1.00 YES, ONE DOLLAR to a form I did not know was AUTOMATICALLY completed??????????????????

I may never use this program again......EVER. We sit and wait for the IRS to make a manual adjustment to REMOVE the goddamed $1.00 to free thousands in refund $$.

YOU SUCK for doing this

This is the just the first post where this is an issue on a 2020 tax return. It certainly is not systemic.

What line number of Schedule 3 has this $1 entered?

Schedule 3 is Only used if it is required based on the tax data entered. It is not automatically generated if not needed.

In the future ... before you file review the entire return carefully, then sleep on it and review it again the next day before finally clicking on the send button. This is good method no matter which tax program you use ... taking time to make absolutely sure you are satisfied with the entire return before filing would save a lot of anguish for many posters on this forum.

TaxAct software for 2021 returns. Goodbye TuboTax, you have cost weeks of unnecessary delays to a needed refund to my son due to this Schedule 3 $1.00 autofill error. I re-re-re did the return and the inclusion of this form is NEVER questioned or mentioned throughout. And don't send me any more surveys, I will totally trash you.
