The 1/14/26 update did fix TurboTax Deluxe desktop so that it now uses the manually entered 1099-R data in the tax calculation.  In the "Forms" view, you see the 1099-R entries in the 1099R summary form and on the 1040.  Now the 1099-R information now also shows up in my Colorado State tax forms.   In the "EasyStep" view, it is still showing "Available Soon" for the entering 1099-R information. Others have posted the 1/21/26 update will fix this this issue.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a prior year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US?uid=ld1n99kr

The TurboTax online editions are only for tax year 2025 and cannot be changed.   To complete and file a 2024 tax return, started with the online editions, you will need to download the 2024 tax data file.  Then you will need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer, Windows or Mac, one of the 2024 desktop editions.  Once installed you need to open the 2024 tax data file you downloaded by clicking on File and then on Open Tax Return.   To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/ Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download .tax file   To complete and file a 2024 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2024 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/   A 2024 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.

Meeting any of those safe harbors is sufficient to avoid an underpayment penalty.  I specifically mentioned 110% of 2024 tax liability since it is the one that most commonly applies when there is a large amount of unexpected taxable income, but either of the others could apply.

Go to MY INFO to enter a dependent.   Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number.    Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment.  If your child was born in 2025 make sure you said he lived with you the whole year.  There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support.  Say NO to that question.

This board is for TurboTax users to ask operational questions and questions re tax law, regulations, and procedures.

there are (or were) probably reasons to short INTU, but desktop tax prep isn't one of them.  It's 1% of revenues and shrinking, everything else they do is growing 10%.  Win10 is at most a $50mil issue for a $21bn company, it won't move the stock either way.
