Sunday, 30 March 2025 I am having the same exact problem with Form 8824 Line 25A having to be filled in with the same exact amount on line 25 before I can successfully electronically submit my Federal and State Income Taxes. I shared my screen with the Turbo Tax Support Person. Tried "nothing", $0.00, $1.00 and other random amounts and it "stayed red" until I put the entire amount from Line 25 in 25A. My replacement property is farm ground with no buildings - Section 1231 property. On the second line of Line 2 I wrote "farm ground with no buildings Turbotax will not allow me to electronically file with line 25A being $0.00 Will only accept the amount in line 25 as a correct entry." At least I have a record of the original 8824 that it isn't Section 1250 property. What is frustrating is that this programming glitch which requires the full amount of line 25 to be listed on 25A was brought to TurboTax's attention for the 2023 tax year and it wasn't corrected for tax year 2024. Are farmers such a small demographic that you don't take the programming time to correct the error. I could print out the 8824 with $0.00 in Line 25a along with all the other tax forms and submit by mail, but that would be a real headache to the IRS employee who would have to process my Federal Income Taxes by hand. My case is still open, and the person who assisted me today was thorough and professional. After reading all the other posts, it doesn't sound like there is a "secret programming code" to enter into Line 25 to get past the Final Check for Accuracy to allow $0.00 or even leaving 8824 Line 25A blank to continue to the electronic processing stage. For this to be an issue for now 2 tax years is cause for a negative review.
