Why is turbo tax calculating an incorrect tax amount on my return?

I prepared my taxes and filed them last week. Then my son needed some help with his taxes, so I logged into my TT to follow along with him as we talked on the phone. I must have clicked something somewhere, and I cannot get it back to the amount that it was when I filed. I tracked down the error, just don't know how to undo it. On my 1040 worksheet, Schedule 2, Part II, Line 4, it now says I have a 4029 exemption, but I'm not clergy. Would be nice if I were, because it sure does reduce my SE tax bill. We have 3 small businesses, and none of the Schedule C's or Schedule C worksheets have the box checked for clergy.  How do I become unordained?

Why is turbo tax calculating an incorrect tax amount on my return?

Hi Bill, previous question about $10,000 tax bill on $28,000 was for my son's taxes. I reviewed his taxes today and it's $8000 SE tax, which is painful, but correct. 

 

Why is turbo tax calculating an incorrect tax amount on my return?

Yes. It is for a specific year, 2021. IRS letter did not say where the miscalculation is in my TurboTax filling forms. It simply said an overpayment amount.

 

What I meant in my post about 20 years is that if IRS didn’t catch the overpayment errors, I would have lost a lot of money for those years with long term capital gains.

 

Is the long term capital gain related tax miscalculation fixed by now?

Why is turbo tax calculating an incorrect tax amount on my return?

There is not a known issue with the TurboTax calculation of capital gain income this tax year or any prior year.  

If you believe you have a specific return that was miscalculated, please see these instructions on how to file a claim using our Accuracy Guarantee.
