Got instant savings of $5.00 on the batteries, and $15.00 on the Turbo Tax.

Total came to $84.58

Tax @ 7.0% was $6.98

Total to Credit Card $91.86

Whether you use the original prices ($104.58) or the total after the $20 instant savings ($84.58) the tax never comes out to $6.98.

Anyone able to figure it out?
Not me. I use Turbo Tax too. But if I was good at numbers or taxes I wouldn't need Turbo Tax.
