I ran yesterday’s update - it made a huge difference. Looks like I’ll be filing an amended return this year.

“I ran yesterday’s update - it made a huge difference. Looks like I’ll be filing an amended return this year.”

btw, i now STRONGLY suspect that the HRB update from yesterday also contains a significant erroneous side-effect when form 8915-E is used ...

comparing my saved PDF prior to the update with my post-update results, where in both cases i’ve declared part of my IRA distributions as “covid disaster distributions” on 8915-E, the updated HRB suddenly refuses to include my wife’s 401(k) distribution on line 5B on form 1040, whereas it IS included pre-update, even though in both cases i’ve declared NONE of her distribution as “covid disaster distributions” ...

i managed to get HRB to gen a trouble ticket today to bump this issue up to their tier 2 support, and am expecting a call-back next week ...

needless to say, my taxes are substantially less post-update, but i’m 99% sure that’s due to error on HRB’s part in not including my wife’s 401(k) distribution on form 1040 ...
