How do I deal with a Form 2210: Line D Withholding error?

[lizmorgan]

I have no idea how to deal with this:

Check This Entry

Form 2210: Line D Withholding. The sum of the four columns is not equal to your total withholding of $XXXX for the year.

Line D Withholding:

Happened to me, too.  I looked at the error report which had an image of the worksheet and noted that the worksheet had four columns for withholding payments in 2020 when there should only be three periods.  I suspect that you filled out the information for Form 2210 before the 2/26/21 TurboTax update.  If you did, you provided information for four periods.  After the update TurboTax combined the first two periods into one period, but it appears that TurboTax left a "ghost" of you previous second period input in the worksheet and, presto, when they add all four columns in the worksheet it produces an error.  I fixed it by zeroing out the 2nd column in the worksheet in the error report.

While that solved that error, TurboTax did not fill out Part IV  of Form 2210 correctly.

looks like TT didn't fix that in the coding for this year's program as I have a cx having the same exact issue this year...

What is the status of the fix, please? 4 days to filing! Thank you!

I am experiencing the issue now. What can I do to file correctly since this apparently will not be resolved? Should I split my total withholding into a 3rd instead of a 4th, or do nothing?

No update from turbotax... last day now

I just figured out a way to correct it. I cannot guarantee if its the correct way as I am no tax expert but I think its a logical way. 

Problem is due to rounding issues as explained in one other post. Due to a rounding issue Turbotax software t misses the last quarter value. Here is what I did. I followed a principle that I am ready to pay maybe a dollar more tax than what I actually owe. So the page where you entered withholding of all quarters just move all your cent values to last quarter.

For example if the correct values were Q1: 12.1 Q2: 15.4 Q3: 20.1 Q4: 5.4

Rather than entering above values you enter 

Q1: 12 Q2: 15 Q3: 20 Q4: 6

That was your total holding value matches and it work.

If you enter 'correct' values, Turbotax will make it or something like (I am contiously making it simpler): Q1: 12 Q2: 15 Q3: 20 Q4: 5 and your overall holding in form 2210 will be lower than what you really entered.

By taking that one dollar forward you are saying to uncle Sam that yes I paid few cents less to you but in the end quarter my calculations are correct and pls charge me whatever you want to. Max $1 difference if there is but you'll be able to move forward. 

Again, I am no tax expert but seeing that Turbotax is not replying, I had to look at it deeper. Thank you

Two years later...no update. 

I am running into the same issue now with my 2022 taxes (due Oct 15th for my CA county)

What to do? Clearly TT is failing here on their accurate taxes promise

[rks2000]

+1 more year with this issue.

Now I am facing exact same problem. When I am on "review" stage, the total was not adding up. But the problem is, i only see one box to enter and it does not give me for which quarter I need to enter the values. I wrongly entered another amount and it is now sitting in Q4 but there is no way i am able to modify that value anymore and i am kind of stuck completing 2023 return. It is frustrating. 

@tt Support - can you please review and let me know if this bug is fixed? Thanks
