Missouri residents should be aware that there is a bug in the current software. My current version of TurboTax home and business is giving incorrect answers for Missouri returns. The problem is in the deductions section and TurboTax is giving a full $10,000 deduction on line 12 of Missouri 1040 without regard to the AGI number. The new Missouri tax laws require that the $10,000 figure be reduced based on the AGI. Thus, the incorrect TurboTax math lowers the taxable income too much, and TurboTax shows a bigger refund than is correct. Does anyone know when TurboTax will fix the problem?

The Missouri state tax forms will not be finalized until 01/16/2020, subject to change.

See this TurboTax support website for the Missouri state tax forms - https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotax_mo_online_individual.html

Yes thanks, I noticed error in the MO. federal deduction % and an associated calc... will revisit on 1/16. Do you know if the MO form 5695 (Qualified Health Ins. Premiums) actually requires the stated "proof of premiums?" Not sure how that would would happen when submitting 1040 and associated forms online..?

Yes, the MO-1040 instructions tell us to submit supporting documentation with the Form 5695. But my short answer is that I really don't know the technicalities regarding what documentation is acceptable for the health insurance deduction. From my e-filing experience, I've just trusted the software to tell me what I need to do. So if the tax preparation software accepts the data; and does not ask for any attachment; and if the e-filing is accepted by the state--then I don't worry about it. I will watch to see if MO processing changes that process by telling us to attach or e-mail anything, but I'm unaware of that need right now.

When TurboTax directs me to paper file, then I attach my insurance documentation (SSA-1099s and billing receipts) with the forms that I mail.

It appears this has not been corrected with the mid-January product release. My Missouri return was just rejected today on 01/30/2020 stating MO 2019 Business Income Deduction - due to product updates. However, there is no Missouri update to download and Turbo Tax states the version is up to date.

Any idea when this will be corrected?

Unfortunately, from time to time Federal and State FORMs have to be revised and approved. This is a dynamic process and we aggressively pursue it. At this point the target date for almost all forms is 02/12/2020.

Included are LINKs both for the Federal and State FORM status

Missouri has had errors in the Turbotax return for years. Spouse's information does not carryover as entered on the federal side. If you have US obligations from mutual funds, a number is put in the Missouri return with no supporting worksheet and does not agree with the amounts input on the Federal return. These errors have existed for years.
