I tried to downgrade turbotax but due to "You have Additional Medicare Tax (Form 8959)" it won't let me.

A. I do not have that form

B. I file jointly

C. Medicare wages and tips is below the $ threshold.

I've seen others with a similar challenge but see no clear solution to get around this. 

Ready to ditch TT.

Suggestions appreciated.

    You can 'Clear and Start Over' under Tax Tools in the left-side menu to downgrade.

     

    Make sure your W-2 Medicare Wages/Tax are entered correctly.
