forms are not calculating properly

[ellenm]

I did a tax return, printed it to review, went back in to send to client, and proseries had omitted all the tax payments and other items.  I had to go back into each form, W-2, take numbers out, and put them in again, and then save, form by form.  This is unacceptable.  I called about this last week - and they told me not to uninstall.  Now what.  Second time this has happened.  How will I know it will efile with the proper numbers??

I haven't seen any other posts with similar problems.  Is it only saving part of your information - like some of the W2 entries but not all ??    Why did you have to take numbers out and re-input?    Did you try to do a program Tools - Repair updates ?

they told me on the phone to do that  never have to heard of that before.  If i took out the fwt, saved and re inputed it in, it would maybe save the correct way.  This is the second taxpayer I am having this happen to.

and doesn't repair work the same exact way as updates?  seems to.

No repairs is more thorough     Are you entering W2 info to W2s that transferred from 2019   Maybe try entering all W2s as new  - delete the old   ??    see if that resolves the issue

[ellenm]

did repairs.  we shall see if that works.  Why did no one tell me to uninstall?  and Why would I need to delete w-2s from last year?  That also makes no sense. i can't imagine deleted w-2s proforma'd for all my taxpayers.    Seems like something is amiss here.

Have you read some of the crazy things happening within the program ?   RRC worksheet is calculating on 17 and 18yr olds -  the fix is to delete the dependent and reenter..........so................  deleting a W2 and entering fresh doesn't seem so out of line.

Hope the Repair updates does the trick for you.  Best of luck.

I haven't seen this reported by anyone else, or experienced it myself either.

So it omitted everything you had entered or just the withholding on the W2s?
