2023 Schedule D Worksheet, Line 44 calculation error.

Line 44 on the Schedule D worksheet is incorrectly calculating my tax.  It says to use the amount on line 26.  Then for my income bracket, the tax is supposed to be $2,200.00 + 12% of the amount on line 26 that exceeds $22,000.  In my case, line 26 = $26,201.  So, the calculation should be $2,200 + (.12 of (26,201 - 22,000)).  This would then be $2,200 + (.12 of (4201)).  That becomes $2,200 + (504.12).  The amount on line 44 should be $2704.  TurboTax is incorrectly calculating this to be $2707.

 

Note that line 46 calls for the exact same calculation but starting with the amount on line 1C.  In the case of line 46, TurboTax performs the calculation correctly.

 

How do I correct my return for this error?

 

How do I get a software engineer to review and then fix the programming bug?
