Question

For tax year 2025 and first use of program-serious issue related to Form 8949 and AMT

I have no idea what has just occurred!  I have been using the 2024 software for 2025 estimating with a sale of my Moorpark CA home.  Schedule D properly shows the net gain after exclusion for both regular and AMT purposes.  Somehow, Schedule D AMT is now getting into this and on line 10 is showing "Long-term totals from all Forms 8949 with box F or L checked" then effectively taking the basis of property sold and taking out both the exclusion and selling costs and computing a massive gain on sale!  I have no idea what boxes F or L on Form 8949 are or how this works into it.  At the moment, this freaking version is showing I owe more than an added $117K in taxes!  This is completely nuts and not rational.  Can someone answer this?  Thank you!  Jeff Lynch

If you're using the 2025 software it is not yet ready for prime time.

As Susan said 2025 is not very functional yet. Ok to play around with it, but will have lots of errors until January (maybe even after that 😁)

I have the identical problem with a client.  I expected pro series to have fixed it by now but they have not.

i overrode checking box e instead of box f to get a more accurate result.  I am assuming they can fix this by the time we start filing returns in large numbers.

the same situation run in the 2024 program gets a tax due of about 3 times what the 2025 program gets.  I strongly suggest manually computing the tax to take into account changes in 2025 taxes.

FYI-this matter did get fixed quietly before the end of 2025.  There was no actual response by Intuit to me that this significant logic error was fixed-just that I noticed it recently while working my own data again.
