tax payment worksheet line 18e bug

I am working on my tax return and I need to fill in line 18e of tax payment worksheet (Negative Adjustment of Taxes Withheld). This number is meant to be negative which the input protection have it with <=0. When calculating line 19 total withholding, TurboTax have this negative number subtracted, effectively doing an addition with this number throwing off the calculation. This is different from TurboTax 2024 behavior. Please have this bug fixed ASAP.

The amount of the subtraction should be entered as a whole number, not as a negative number. 

 

The instructions in the TurboTax program may seems confusing since it states to enter a "subtraction adjustment" but since you already are designating the adjustment as a subtraction, the number is not entered as a negative. That would result in a double negative which ends up ADDING rather than SUBTRACTING. 

 

Please enter adjustments as whole (positive) numbers.

Turbotax software still have "Enter a number equal to or less than 0." protection for line 18e. This is defiantly a bug that need to be fix. You should check before answer this question. 
As I mentioned, this behaves differently from Turbotax 2024.
