Final review. Redid the whole works starting from zero, that's the only way TT would let me see the page. Didn't matter, limited me to the $250K. Did not get me to the proper $500K. No pain as 250 was enough to cover the gains. But someone else relying on the product is going to be paying taxes unnecessarily. Not terribly common, but terrible enough to the individual that pays the higher tax.
