Treatment of Box 3 Income on 1099-MISC
on March 19, 2014
Posted by: JasC1
from Chicago, IL
Need to modify programming to allow for a specific exclusion of self-employment tax as specified in the 1099-Misc instructions for Box 3-Other Income entries. This exclusion relates to "termination payments made to retired former self-employed insurance agents", of which there are thousands. Your current version does not allow for an explanation entry on line 21 of 1040 to properly explain this exclusion. I was allowed to write in this explanation in your 2012 edition.
What's not so great: Incomplete treatment of exceptions to SE tax for 1099-MISC income

Excellent service as always. You track me from year to year, catch every possible deduction, handle depreciation and loss carryovers seamlessly - couldn't begin to keep organized enough to do this myself! Thanks so much.!
Pros: I bought or sold investments

Disappointed

Turbo Tax did not ask me about additional income and I got a notice from the IRS from last year regarding Social Security income. I was unaware I had to pay tax on my husband's social security income based on my income. I feel for the price of the software, that question should have been specifically asked. I will not purchase Turbo Tax again. I don't need it.
What's not so great: You did not ask about additional income

I have been using Turbo Tax (and MacInTax previously) for many years now, and have no problems or complaints.
Pros: My job status changed this year (switched jobs, lost a job, got a raise or promotion)

I'm hooked

Turbotax requires that you declare all Civil Service Retirement income as taxable. In fact, it is not all taxable. It then generated distribution to be removed (from my total contributions). Turbotax makes this calculation but is hidden until you review. This is different from previous versions.
What's great about it: Carries all previous info forward to next year. Especially helpful for small business.
What's not so great: Civil Service Retirement income should not be lumped w/ other plans that required distributions. Input confusing.
