I have a Form 8615 with Line 14 amount $1550. Client has no dividends, cap. gains interest etc. Line 15

is calculating tax of $1,018 on that amount??? At 10% shouldn't it be $156??

 

Any ideas? Thanks!

Another poster mentioned that you have to activate the Schedule D and then magically the math gets fixed.  I'd throw this into a spreadsheet and independently calculate the tax until ProSeries starts getting the right answers.

Personally I wouldn't be in a rush to file this until Intuit actually comes out with a fix.  There are a scary number of bugs this year.

Thanks for the info, but I have nothing to enter on the Schedule D- What would activating it do?

Read the post on kiddie tax and unemployment craziness. I believe there may be a solution there for you.
