Question

UCE

The new UCE adjustment does not calculate correctly on California returns. The state return does not tax unemployment at all and now it is reducing agi by the UCE also? Am I missing something because this seems like a very serious miscalculation which may carry over to other states as well..

You're correct.  I'm hoping they fix this issue on the California returns.

It's messed up on a bunch of other states, too.

Yep... four or five folks have reported it in just the last few hours.  See the previous threads on it.

Intuit's been notified.

I don't feel comfortable with the federal calculations.  I am checking my worksheet to determine how much social security is taxable.  I don't think that is pulling the proper numbers.  And yes, my state is incorrect also.

Yes you are right, on Federal social security benefits worksheet taxable amount calculated incorrectly. Also UCE adds back to state of CA (540) is also incorrect. How long should we wait for ProSeries to fix this problem? 


Everything is working perfectly as far as I can see.

Total UI gets included in MAGI for SS purposes.
CA has the automatic add-back like it should (Id been making the add back manually for over a week)

Actually, it didn't mess up any states.  The update was purely a federal adjustment.  You are left to sink or swim on your own when it comes to the state return.  I'm thinking a lot of folks are going to sink because they don't look at the state once the federal is done.

The ProSeries Soc Sec calculation is correct.  The unemployment exclusion is not supposed to have any effect on the Social Security calc.

ok, it ask for the amount from Schedule 1, Line 9.  That amount is not the amount from Schedule 1, line 9.
