jackinemhouston,

I've alerted the powers that be to your issue and asked them to dig into it. I'll try to keep on top of it. (No, I am not an employee of Intuit, just a long time forum participant.)

I saw these screens for the first time this year after going through my St of AL taxes 3 times. I was just wondering when this was put in the software? Has it been there all the time and I just missed it? I lost thousands of dollar because I did not see this screen in previous years. Just wondering.
