I would think that would be a question for TurboTax as it is their software.
I would look first for “pilot error”.
It is buggy as hell. It brings up the farm stuff for me. Just skipped it and moved on.
i submitted the question to turbotax for a callback.
they called me back and advised to delete the entire form 8824.
thanks to everyone for the responses!
Go back into the auto itself and check your boxes and answers again. I’m imagining you sold it and hit the wrong response. If you can’t find your error, start over and make sure your responses are right.
now i am stuck on a carryover entry for a past return-1 (2015, no doubt) worksheet. “More info about a past tax return-1 must be entered. It looks like the total amount you entered from your 2015 tax return is less than the individual payments you made that year (estimated tax, ...). It should be higher than, or at least equal to your payments.”
well typing this makes the answer kind of obvious i guess.
i’m going to embalm myself after i die. then i will incinerate myself to cover up the evidence of unlicensed embalming, so i don’t get fined. lol! seriously, this stuff should be more straightforward. hmmm, will study more...
