Are you sure that you are not in Alt Min Tax? That would

When you posted this question in the TurboTax Support Forum
you added "It changes when income is changed but not when
capital gains are changed."

The dynamic updating is always on. Do you have a net capital
loss (Schedule D line 16) of more than $3,000 when all your
capital gains and losses are combined? If so, you can't take
the entire loss this year. The amount over $3,000 has to be
carried over to future years. So if the additional capital
transactions that you are entering are not reducing your
total net loss below $3,000, then this year's tax is not
going to change. That could be why it looks like TurboTax is
not updating.

The limit is $1,500 if you are married filing separately.

Can someone tell me how to get turbotax to dynamic update
when changing the capital gains/losses data? It was doing
it for a number of entries and then it stopped and the tax
due never changes now no matter how I change the data.

Thanks for your help.

Ted
