It looks like you’re amending a joint return (on which you were listed as the “taxpayer” and your husband as the “spouse”) which was accepted, before your husband submitted a separate return (which was of course then rejected). And now you’ve removed his info to make it your own separate return (and are seeing a very unexpected result). Am I reading this correctly?
If so, it’s not surprising that the program didn’t ask for his W-2, since it’s now a separate return for you, reporting only your income. And we would normally expect the overall result on the two separate returns to be less favorable than the joint one (although that’s not always the case). Also, since it’s an amendment, the result from the original joint return is included (so comparing this to two separate returns from the other software would be apples to oranges)...
@TRAC140110, what was the exact result on the original return? And (assuming it was a refund) did you receive it? Also, how many thousands is the tax due now? We can’t see your forms here, but with a round or two of more specifics, we might be able to make an educated guess about whether the result is correct or entries need to be changed...
