I always cringe [View all]

when I file my income tax return and TurboTax goes through all the credits including... for a stillborn birth.

Yes, I suppose their hearts was in the right place but still... and it is not even among the list of 50 or so credits, it is listed separately.

And normally I would be done by mid February but the Minnesota was so convoluted..

Normally, the states forms - all states - start with AGI from the federal form and then add the state income tax paid. That is, if one used them in the itemized deductions.

No, not in Minnesota. I could not understand why my numbers - on spreadsheets - were different from TurboTax until I realized that the additional to income, state taxes, normally on Line 2 of M1, were the very last line - 27 - on M1SA, Minnesota Itemized Deductions

Glad to be done. Submitted.

I am going to contact my rep - DFL, finally - and demand, really, that they fix it.
