My daughters return has been rejected multiple times for Form 8615 issues. Turbo Tax says it will walk you through fixing it (never does), but I reenter/verify the information on the "interview" and have refiled to be rejected again.

Can someone help explain the issue?

Did the March 20, 2020 update fix this?

Thanks.

I went back through the whole form and answered all the questions again, as you suggested, and still got the same rejected result. It needs to be fixed!

The last resort will be removing the form and re-enter the information again.

In TurboTax online,

Sign in to your account, select Pick up where you left off
To your left, Select Tax Tools/drop-down menu
Select Tools
Under Other helpful links, choose to Delete a form
Select Delete next to Form 8615 and Continue with My Return to proceed

To re-enter:

At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in "kiddie tax" and Enter
Select Jump to kiddie tax
Follow prompts

I have the same issue. Updated software to 3/20/2020, but same result (rejected again).

Anyone from Intuit listening????

two things I did to resolve.

1) 8615 CDCG worksheet lines 8 and 15 need to be overridden with the answer, use the options for the questions to answer them.

2) 8615 L7 Worksheet (this form does get submitted to the Gov). Line 2, was pulling the wrong number from who knows were. Refer to form 8615 to override line two from either line 4 or 1 from 8615.

I resubmitted and it WORKED!!!!

Thanks -- deleting the forms as described in another post didn't change any of the numbers for me. I had to override the fields described here and then my return was accepted!

Adding:

My son's return had no issues (strange).

My daughter is now getting calls saying that possibly someone stole her identity.

You will need to go back through your Form 8615 for the update to make the corrections. The update is available but will not update the form unless you access the form.

What needs to be updated? They say there is an error, but do not mention what the error is.

This form was messed up from the beginning by TT by asking for information from the wrong lines.

Edit to add: When I run error check, it says there is nothing wrong (same as before)... Where is the error that is causing the problem?

Thanks for the help.

Thank you for your post! I am having the same problem with my son's return - keeps rejecting for calculations on form 8615.

Turbo tax help!!

I have tried 5 times to delete this form as it does not apply to my son's tax return.

It will NOT delete and keeps taking me back to fill in the information.

TurboTax may or may not do Form 8615 correctly. When Turbotax can't do 8615 correctly, they have no explanation. After six calls, they told me to just file the incorrect return, which would have underpaid my taxes. When I told Turbotax that I wasn't comfortable knowingly filing an incorrect return (underpayment), they told me their guarantee would take care of it. (Does anyone believe that? Turbotax never gets back to you on anything). I believe Turbotax is simply hoping the IRS doesn't catch the error their software causes. This way, (1) Turbotax doesn't have to fix its problem (2) the IRS likely gets cheated, or must do extra work to avoid being cheated, and (3) if the IRS does catch the error, the taxpayer may get tagged as a cheat and get a $ penalty, as well. Plus, remember that 8615 is on your child's return - how would you like your child to have "underpaid taxes and was penalized" in all the databases of the world?
