Please log in for more thread options Hi, Port.
I don't have the Katrina problem, thank goodness! But I do have TurboTax
Basic 2006. And, as I started inputting my carryover info to get ready for
this year's return, I did notice a question - very early in the Interview
process - about whether I was affected by Katrina. Did you see that
question?
Also, it's still early in the tax preparation season. Many tax forms have
not been finalized and incorporated into TT. My guess is that it will be
some time well into January before the final updates to the program arrive.
But your question was specifically about 2005, the year of the storm, and
2004, the prior year. Have you tried re-loading TurboTax 2005 and looking
for any late updates to that year's program?
My sympathies for your losses.
