We entered the totals from a brokerage account into Schedule D and will attach the detail report.  The details include an adjustment for accrued market discount.  However ,even though all of the individual lines are correct, the total on line 7 DOES NOT FOOT.  And it is off by the accrued market discount.

After an hour with tech support, the individual I spoke with told me that it is correct and there is no problem.

In what world does anyone think a form that does not foot is proper to submit to the IRS???

I did find a way to fudge things to get it to work but Lacerte really needs to fix this glitch - it is just blatantly wrong.

I had the same situation on one line in short term and in long term - funny the long term worked just fine.
