Get your taxes done using TurboTax
"I just visited the Employment Expenses section in a Desktop version, and answering "No" to the question "Do you have any employment expenses for W-2 work?" just brought up the Job-Related Expenses Summary screen."
Well, TurboTax shouldn't do that either now, should it? Why would you enter job-related expenses when you've already said you don't have any?
But the fact that you see a different error than I do points to one of the worst issues I've seen with TurboTax in previous editions. Because it automatically starts by reading in a previous year's TurboTax return, users need to be extremely careful that there isn't something buried in the database that they don't intend to be in their current return.
In this case, I had seen that the 2025 program created a Form 2106, and it took several attempts to delete it. (Another unchangeable checkbox required drilling down into the forms.) I confirmed that form is now gone, yet I continue to get the "Tell us about the occupation" page. This is a serious data retention issue that Intuit needs to fix, along with the more of an irritation bug that you're seeing.
