I was not able to replicate the situation you described. My test case used the correct value on line 2a of Form 6251. However, we could be using different versions of the program.
The first step to getting a situation in TurboTax to be reviewed and investigated by the development team is to provide them with a diagnostic tax data file demonstrating the circumstance. If you would be willing to provide a diagnostic copy of your return, that would be helpful. The diagnostic file will not contain personally identifiable information, only numbers related to your tax forms.
To provide us with the diagnostic file, follow the instructions below and post the token number along with which version of TurboTax you are using in a follow-up thread.
Use these steps if you are using TurboTax Online:
- Sign in to your account and be sure you are in your tax return.
- Select Tax Tools in the menu to the left.
- Select Tools.
- Select Share my file with agent.
- A pop-up message will appear, select OK to send the sanitized diagnostic copy to us.
- Post the token number here.
If you are using a CD/downloaded version of TurboTax, use these steps:
- Select Online at the top of the screen.
- Select Send Tax File to Agent.
- Click OK.
- Post the token number here.
If you are using a Mac version of TurboTax, use these steps:
- Go to the Menu at the top of the screen and select Help.
- Then, Send Tax File to Agent.
- Post the token number here.
