  1. I use turbotax business to do a 1065 partnership LLC return, can i get help with this if I sign up for turbo tax live?

  2. Hi Lisa, I just found an error in the 2018 TurboTax desktop download program. The software still thinks the 2018 HSA contribution limit for an HSA under a family high deductible health plan is $6,750 (which is was it was before the IRS changed it back to $6,900 after a public outcry) It’s $7,900 for those age 55 or older when adding the $1,000 adder for age). For someone making the maximum contribution of $7,900, TT is calculating the extra $150 as an excess contribution subject to tax! (The program may still have the 2017 amounts in there.)

  3. I purchased Turbotax 2018, how do I take advantage of TurboTax Live?

    when I select the start for free link, it takes me to a screen to start my 2017 taxes, which I have already filed.
