Figuring out how to call #Intuit on the phone to get this fixed was a whole other saga. TLDR the phone number is 800-446-8848 in case you need it.
I used their chatbot to get that number. It gave me four different wrong/inapplicable answers before I finally coerced the right answer out of it.
They seem to have trained the chatbot on the entire historical content of the #TurboTax forums even though much of the information there was either wrong to begin with or is outdated.

This is what I see in #Intuit #TurboTax for Windows when I attempt to enter my W-2 wages for last year.
It's going to be tough doing my taxes with TurboTax if I can't enter my wages!
P.S. I wrote a little script to blur last year's wages in the video. In case you're curious or might find it useful: https://gist.github.com/jikamens/19fc31364709889ff947824fd7020f33
After sending me multiple emails per week for months trying to get me to switch from to the web version of #TurboTax, #Intuit decided they would make one final push in the desktop app itself, inviting me to try the web version for free after I installed and launched the desktop version.
And if that wasn't bad enough, after I said no they popped up a Qualtrics survey asking why.
The survey has 7 options. I accurately chose 3 of them, tried to submit, and got this:

Government-calculated income tax is the overwhelming majority method (~2x as many countries as "taxpayer-calculated" depending on how you categorize systems). The US has ample tax reporting BUT has laughably prolific evidence of lobbying spend from the tax preparation industry. #taxseason #hrblock #turbotax
FYI: Fifth Circuit kills FTC's in-house TurboTax order - and threatens its enforcement model: A federal appeals court vacated the FTC's cease-and-desist order against Intuit over TurboTax "free" ads, ruling internal FTC adjudication of deceptive advertising claims is unconstitutional. https://ppc.land/fifth-circuit-kills-ftcs-in-house-turbotax-order-and-threatens-its-enforcement-model/ #FifthCircuit #FTClaw #TurboTax #deceptiveadvertising #Intuit
