What is a 8960 hold reject code

This should be fixed now. My return was accepted this morning.

I am using desktop Home & Business and just recently got a software update. No changelog, though.

TT really should have had some official communication.

@skareagle8 did you make any changes or did you just resubmit as is and it was accepted?

I made no changes and it was accepted within an hour this morning

I just got through to Turbo Tax by phone. They are aware of the issue, and it appears that it is a software problem. There is an update being issued tomorrow, March 28 that should resolve the issue. Here's keeping my fingers crossed...

Prior to the March 28 update, the program allowed form 8960 line 9b (state, local, and foreign income tax allocated to investment income) to be more than $10,000. The 8960 worksheet was missing a comparison of the proportion of these taxes allocable to investment income, to the maximum allowed deduction of $10,000; the lesser of these is entered in line 9b. The error should only have affected those itemizing deductions and having a calculated proportion of state, local, and foreign income tax to be allocated to investment income more than $10,000. It didn't affect those who took the standard deduction. I e-filed March 22 taking the standard deduction and my return was accepted in 30 minutes.
