Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Thank you for your reply. I apologize for not describing the problem clearly before.
To reiterate, my situation is that boxes (a), (b), (c), and (d) on line 22 do not apply to the bank account I entered. As you mentioned, my account was neither opened nor closed (a, b) during the current year and not jointly owned (c). However, I also cannot check the box (d) because this bank account generated interest income, which was already included and reported in part III, line 13a.
Previously, TurboTax allowed me to uncheck all items (a), (b), (c), and (d) on line 22 without any problems. I successfully passed the software review and completed my 2024 e-filing, but not in 2025 TurboTax.
I hope I have described the problem clearly this time.
If TurboTax still requires me to check at least one box, and since the information provided in line 22 of Form 8938 does not directly affect the calculation of taxable income, I will have no choice but to check the box (a) as the other member has suggested. While marking box (a) may be interpreted as the bank account was still valid/open in 2025, I still believe that from the IRS's perspective, they mean the bank account was created during that tax year.
