So, I been doing my tax the same every single year, and this 2025 TurboTax version is giving me this error message on Federal Information Worksheet (to my knowledge, it isn't a form to submit to IRS anyways).
So on the Federal Information Worksheet, Dependent of Someone Else for Wife is checked YES.
And I wanted to file Married Filing Seperately. and SmartCheck tells me this.
"Married filing joint box should be selected since you indicated your spouse can be claimed as dependent of another person"
I checked my 2024 forms, I filled out everything the same and there was problem for 2024.
I always file Married filing seperately, because my wife and I are no longer live together, still married though, and she is claimed as an dependent of my son. My son is her financial support and lives with her.
I am not able to transmit and file my tax due to this error. I called the support and told them something is wrong, but they don't understand, instead, they want me to pay money to get Live Support....
Does anyone know if this is a software bug, some tax law change, or maybe something I did not do right?
Please TurboTax Team also take a look at this.
