    Step 3 ... re enter W-2 form being careful to not make the same input error

    Also from Indiana.  I went back and looked at least 5 times.  I finally figured out that on one of our W2's there was a 9-cent difference between what was withheld for Fed versus what was withheld for State.  The IRS rounds the dollar figures such that if the amount is less than 50 cents (or maybe less than/equal to) they assume the whole dollar amount rounded down (that is, $10.25 would be $10 to the IRS).  Anything above that magic figure is rounded up (that is, $10.52, would be $11 to the IRS).  So, the Fed & State withholdings - after both were rounded down - were the exact same amount, at least according to Uncle Sam.

     

    I have not yet filed, I want to recheck myself; however, going through the process, I intentionally changed the amount of withholding on one of the figures such that it would NOT be the same as the rounded amount and found out that eFiling will now work.

     

    Still seems like a bug in the TT software, but in the end, it did not impact my overall tax obligation to either Fed or State.  Being in IT, I would strongly advise the good folks at TT review their software and fix this.  It does not seem to be working correctly.

      Have this error and tried multiple fixes and could not fix it. I want my $59 back that I had to pay to continue with Turbo Tax. This error has been for two years by all the comments and Turbo Tax has not fixed it.
