My Federal refund is ~$800 higher with H

[SweetieJean]

They should be the same, assuming you enter everything correctly, completely and consistently in both. Look at the two returns side by side.

But $800 in the 12% tax bracket translates to just about a $10,000 income difference...so maybe a misplaced decimal or comma somewhere?

My tax bracket is higher than that unfortunately.  I haven't been able to find any mistakes yet and the H&R return numbers line up to what I got last year.  I was hoping someone else had a similar problem particularly someone with a Schedule E.  All my depreciation history on my rental property did not carry over properly and I had to enter it manually.

As you know, we in the Community cannot see your private tax data. There is no easy-to-identify reason why this should happen, but, as SweetieJean said, I would expect the results from both companies to be the same, if the input were exactly the same.

If you had TurboTax Live where you could share your tax data with a TurboTax credentialed tax professional, the first thing they would do is print off a copy of your federal return from TurboTax and compare line by line with the the other company's return. I encourage you to do the same thing.

If you do find a specific difference, please came back to us and we will look at why this might be.

This was magically fixed.  Was an a bug fix pushed?
