Question
1098-T math error in Turbo Tax
Hello,
I'm trying to enter my child's information from his 1098T.
Box 1 is 26,107.13
Box 2 is 13,060.48
Box 3 is 13,046.65
TurboTax is refusing to allow me to enter those numbers, with the error message,
"Your box 1 gross distribution must equal the sum of box 2 earnings plus box 3 basis. Make any necessary corrections here."
That is wrong. Those are the correct numbers, and they add fine.
I can change boxes one and two by a penny each, and that will work. I can round them to the nearest dollar, and that will work. But I cannot use the actual amounts from the 1098-T.
What's going on here?
What is the best course of action?
By default, I'll round each number to the nearest dollar, but I shouldn't have to do that. I do not see a workaround.
