I am trying to report a US Savings Bond redemption Rollover into a 529 Plan.

Line 10 instructions on Form 8815 for tax year 2020 indicates that the income phase out level for married filing jointly is $123500 . Turbotax is using $121600 for the income level. I recall that was the level for tax year 2019? I think the software has at one error on this form? Its looks like the program needs to be updated to use the income limit for the current tax year 2020.

    Yes, you are correct that last years figures on on the form Form 8815 is not yet available as it hasn't been released by the IRS.

     

    Here is the list of the expected dates when various forms will be available. Form 8815 is near the bottom  IRS Forms Availability.

    Thank you for the information on release dates for forms. I didn't know that some forms aren't always ready if you start your tax prep early.
