How do I file a claim against TurboTax for miscalculating my return?

Turbo Tax is a self prepared return. They only guarantee the calculations are right based on your entries. They won't know if you entered something wrong or twice or in the wrong place or left something out. It doesn't check against any outside sources. The IRS has copies of all the W2s and 1099s your employer and banks/brokers, etc. sent in to match against. Turbo Tax only checks the calculations of what you entered. It is your responsibility to check it over before you file.

How do I file a claim against TurboTax for miscalculating my return?

@lopez018 curious, can you explain what the miscalculation is? 

 

the tax return is a function of what you entered and the calculation in the softare.  That differentiation is critical.

 

if it is a calculation error that caused the tax return to be incorrect, TT will pay any penalties and interest.  They will not pay the tax itself. 

if it is a data entry error that caused the tax return to be incorrefct, they won't pay as that was your responsibility :-).
