If you received a 1095-A you need to enter it or your Efile will be Rejected.  If you're using TurboTax Online, after deleting a form, close the program and clear your Cache and Cookies.    @knarlyjt 

10a is IL 10b IDES FEIN - your payer's ID, the federal EIN Box 1 - total benefits payable Box 4 - federal withholding Box 11 - state withholding   If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15.  See if you need to file a state extension Any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date.  Pay through either Direct Pay or your individual online account. To set up a payment plan, see Find details on payment plan types  

Enter your email address or phone number and you will see all the accounts you have.    Sometimes you have multiple accounts and need to know which one you used to file your return.    How can I view all my TurboTax accounts?

@ dianewspires  I'll throw this in, just in case: Also be sure you are not looking at a summary figure TurboTax sometimes shows that includes both the Federal and State final results netted together into a single figure   That sometimes causes confusion.

In TurboTax, you do not enter the Box 4 repayment amount separately. The net benefits already calculated in Box 5 (Box 3 minus Box 4) should be entered in the "Social Security Benefits (SSA-1099)" section. Box 5 represents your net benefits for the year.    @donnagaykelly 

No, if your parent’s claim you on their tax return and you’re filing a return indicating that you’re a dependent on someone else’s return, you won’t have any questions on your tax return regarding health insurance.   Refer to the TurboTax article I'm on my parents' 1095-A form. What do I do on my return?  for more information.

Same here , made me fill the whole thing out which was almost 3 hours.  Decline the upcharges 20-30 times, nothing would import.  Get to the end.... FORCES you to pay the premium then charges for a state e-filing but then requires me to print and mail since one of their says the box isnt checked which is clearly check... "Smart run again"  since the box is not check this field should be empty.     Empty it,    You are required to file this section out.   START over... check this box and fill this out.     This can not be e-filed because you did not check box 12.  Which is checked. 

Create a mock federal to create the real state return. It is not a quick process. See How do I prepare a joint federal return and separate state returns?   If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15.  See if you need to file a state extension Any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date.  Pay through either Direct Pay or your individual online account. To set up a payment plan, see Find details on payment plan types

Thank you.  I thought I read somewhere that if your 1099 does not list 10a or 10b to leave them blank.   If that is not the case, I have the following information: Year Total Benefits Payable Total State Tax Withholding Total Federal Withholding IDES FEIN   Would IDES FEIN be the Payer's ID?  I already entered that information.

I just had the same problem as I had just completed my taxes to send them out.  It just hung in a pinwheel indefinitely, i had to force quit after waiting 5-6 minutes, and everything was gone.  Can someone please check the calendar and let me know what year this is?  Normally it would create the tax file right at the beginning and just autosave as you progressed.  Now I'm going to have to be up all night redoing everything.  I'm running a nice and recent Macbook Pro and I have never once had a single program on my laptop freeze like this.  Even trying to login to the website is an absolute joke.  I have to open one tab, try to login with my email address which is correct), never receive any email, then open a new tab and login using the username instead.  This product absolutely reeks of shortcuts, lack of testing of the user interface/user experience, or a sensible workflow where a tax file would be created at the beginning of the user session and autosaved.  Then when these freezing events take place which are triggered by absolutely nothing - the user would not lose their entire records for both their personal and business taxes.  I can't believe this is really a problem given the current technology available for both programming and automation testing.  I absolutely would like a refund on this shoddy product as you have just wasted many hours of me time.  Time is money.  Now I have to take a few deep breaths and start all over at the beginning again.  Obviously more competitors are needed in the tax software space for a bit of competition which will drive up the quality of the software package.  Right now it's a race between would i rather smash my right hand or my left foot with an iron?  While both may be mildly hilarious, neither is accomplishing the goal at hand.  Please try harder for a future release.
