In using TaxAct evaluation package for 2009 returns I have run across something that I don't understand. In using their simplified method worksheet to compute the taxable portion of a pension I notice that the method does not correspond with the IRS simplied method given in the IRS 1040 instruction manual. The ages of the pensioner and his beneficiary are given separately in TA and not together as in the IRS manual and the result is smaller separatly than jointly. That is the amount of the pension tax free is smaller with the TA computation.
I always thought the end result of different softwares would be the same.
Somethings is not right here. That Taxwise and the TaxAct results are different.
What's wrong.
