Employee Pension Plan contributions

[SterlingSoul]

I am using the DeskTop version of Home & Business, and am at the “Employee Expenses” portion of the program where there are four items that for information to be added.  These are (1) Employee Wages and Work Credits, (2) Employee Benefits, (3) Pension Plan, and (4) Pension Plan Start-up Costs.   

The problem that I am having is the dollar amounts that I am entering for Pension Plan contributions for each of my employees is not being carried to the Employee Expense page, even though I am entering the data for each employee and the information is also being showing on the tax form.  However, and as a result of this flaw in the program, these employee pension plan expenses are not being deducted against my business revenue, and fouls the results of my return.   

I have used TT for 30 years, and have never experience this type of error in the programming.  Any suggestions?

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:
