    OR perhaps, call Customer Support

    How do I contact TurboTax?

    Just spent a good while with support on the phone. All the other links on the income page go where they should. We went to forms and there is no SSA-1099 form in the program, even though when I started TTX it said there were no new forms to download. They’ve launched an investigation…
