Happened to me, too. I looked at the error report which had an image of the worksheet and noted that the worksheet had four columns for withholding payments in 2020 when there should only be three periods. I suspect that you filled out the information for Form 2210 before the 2/26/21 TurboTax update. If you did, you provided information for four periods. After the update TurboTax combined the first two periods into one period, but it appears that TurboTax left a "ghost" of you previous second period input in the worksheet and, presto, when they add all four columns in the worksheet it produces an error. I fixed it by zeroing out the 2nd column in the worksheet in the error report.

While that solved that error, TurboTax did not fill out Part IV of Form 2210 correctly.

I am having the same issue here. I even tried making them all whole numbers which added up, but it still didn't work. Note this isn't for the FIRST "annualizing" part but rather the SECOND part where it asks if you want to treat withholding as "paid" (which is very confusing wording as well). If you treat withholding as paid, it will give the error that it doesn't add up, and even after you fix it, it won't go away. This is clearly a TurboTax bug that could be quickly fixed by escalating to the engineering team, but for some reason it's not being looked at.

The issue is if you EVER click tha you want to "elect to treat tax withheld as paid" this bug will ALWAYS exist even if you change your answer to "no" in the future! And (as other commenters mentioned) if you look at the screenshot of the document it hilariously tries to align THREE items into FOUR columns (would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic and broken). The "fix" literally requires committing tax fraud by changing your FOUR columns into THREE columns. Thanks Turbotax for not even having the flexibility to allow us to workaround your BUG without committing TAX FRAUD.
