Incorrect transfer of Line 19 of tax payments worksheet to Line 6 of 2210

Hello,

 

I'm not sure what to do or if this is a bug. I'm scared of using the override function in case I'm doing something wrong here. For reference I am using Turbotax Deluxe desktop edition. 

 

Based on double-checking my W2s and other forms, I withheld a total of $52539 of federal taxes. This is correctly listed on Line 19 of the Tax Payments worksheet. (See screenshot).

This is not correctly transferring to Line 6 of 2210. Is this a bug? What do I do? I'm scared to use the override function in case I'm doing something wrong.

The difference between your withholding and what's showing on your Form 2210 is excess Social Security tax. Either you or your spouse paid too much into Social Security. This usually happens because you have more than one job and your combined income is over the Social Security tax wage cap. Each employer is required to withhold tax up to the wage cap, so when you file your return you get a refund of any excess.

 

You can see this amount on Form 1040, Schedule 3, line 12. You don't need to override this line as this credit is correctly being treated as a withholding payment.

have you tried restarting turbotax to see if that cleans it up (and also install latest updates while doing that)

Yes. I also started a new return completely and reentered all of my forms. and the bug persists.

it works fine just putting with a simple W2 - but I'm on Premier not Deluxe - maybe something in your W2 or 1099-R is triggering the issue especially if you were able to recreate it; is there anything in those forms that would correspond to the $479 difference (be cautious posting more screenshots here tho).

 

Sorry I can't help further .. if you don't get a response/solution here, or either way instead of waiting, suggest calling TT support to ensure you get some focused help as this forum is really best-efforts discussion/help type of thing

Thank you for your help. Is that support different than the Live support? Because I contacted Live Support for another issue and it was absolutely terrible. It took her >30 minutes to even understand my issue and then she kept telling me incorrect info, and I had to explain to her why what she was saying was wrong. It was like I knew more about taxes and TurboTax than she did.

I think it's a different support line more oriented to product problems as opposed to tax advice, seen mixed reviews of problem escalation and resolution, but I've not had to use either one yet

We can take a look at your return so we can see exactly what you see and help come to a resolution. The return will be scrubbed and will not include any of your personal details.

 

Once you've got your tax return open,

- click Online in the top menu bar

- Choose Send Tax File to Agent

- Log in to your Intuit Account (if you're not already)

- you'll see a message explaining that you will be providing a diagnostic copy of your return - your personal details will be changed so we will not be able to see any private information

- click send and you'll get another message with a token

 

Reply to this message with your token and we'll take a look to see what we can find. Please also let us know what state is included with your return.

Thank you so much!! This is so helpful. You have no idea how great this is, that you were able to provide an answer without me spending time on the phone with a Live agent.
