NYC-202 and NYC-202S Bugs

[taxontaxoff]

Can't see if there is another way to report bugs to TurboTax besides posting on the forum.

The 2024 edition seems to have two bugs in it with respect to the Unincorporated Business Tax forms for NYC.

1. Both forms - The exemption amount is populated even when there is no income. This increases the loss by the amount of the exemption. The only way to clear it is to go into the form directly and set it to zero.

2. The NYC-202 long form generates two-fold, with the first page of the first copy populated and the remainder of the pages populated on the second copy. i.e. The five page form comes out as a ten page PDF with pages 1,7,8,9, and 10 populated. I don't think it would work to just print the first page from the first copy and the remainder from the second copy as the two copies carry different (what I assume are) document numbers on the lower left corner e.g. 60212457.

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:

2. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools
4. On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
5. This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
6. Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.

2. Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” *
