2022 Home&Business Form 8959 programming or calculation error

[chhs75]

There appears to be an error in Form 8959.  In the section for Additional Medicare Tax for Self-Employment Income, Line 8 is supposed to be a direct carry-over from Schedule SE, Part I, Line 6.  Instead it is exactly twice that amount.  The result is an overcalculation of additional Medicare tax from self-employment income.  Can this be overridden or corrected manually?  Note:  I had this same situation in 2021 and the carry-over there was correct.  

Looking through the rest of the return there is no indication of a double entry of self employment income.  There is only one copy of Schedule C and Schedule SE.

The DO NOT FILE indicator does not appear in either Schedule SE or Form 8959 as of January 8, 2023.

Advice please.

What is the TurboTax phone number? (intuit.com)

I agree.

Form 8959 line 8 is showing an incorrect number. It is supposed to be a direct input from Form 1040 SE line 6, however it is inputting exactly twice the amount.

There was a software release today (01/12/20230 that resolves this problem for me and at least one other person.  Please activate Turbotax, it should indicate that there is an update, download/install it, and see if the problem goes away.
