I’m sorry to hear you prepaid, I understand though. I’m also using H&R and I’ll never use TurboTax again, also H&R has representatives that aren’t from overseas… I think TurboTax is a total scam I can’t believe I used it for almost 15 years.. consider a refund or file a charge back on your card. I’m sorry we were all lied to.

Once entered in the correct place, then I would run the Review and Error Check again just to make sure everything is still OK with the rest of the return before resubmitting.  Then I'd go to the FILE section and follow the prompts and walk through the screens again to resubmit the efile.   If you paid to efile a state return initially, it should not charge you again to resubmit the efile.   Be sure you go all the way to the final screen and click a button to "Transmit Returns Now."   Whenever a Federal return is rejected, the state efiled return also is rejected.  So if you have both a Federal return and a state return, you'll have to resubmit both, which can be done at the same time.

Hi! I did ask the school and they said all disbursements, taxable or not, are recorded on the 1098-T. Would you recommend entering $4500 for box 1 then $4000 for box 5 (even though box 5 on the 1098-T says $7000)? This is what i’m thinking, but not 100% sure. Would this be a red flag? I don’t have an issue reporting the $3000 grant, but definitely do not want to get taxed on it. I don’t qualify for the AOTC. What’s the best way to enter this?

I am able to enter Social Security income on both Mac (Home and Business) and Windows (Deluxe) versions of TurboTax Desktop. See this help article for more information.   Please clarify if you are still experiencing a problem entering an income item in TurboTax.   @Username5

@debracuaz  asked:  "1099 NEC reporting asks for "Box 6-State Number" - What is the State Number for Texas"   By the term "reporting" does that mean you are entering a 1099-NEC for income you received in Texas? TX does not have a state income tax.  You don't need to mention TX.  Are Boxes 5,6, and 7 blank?

Any update on this topic @JamesG1 now that we are past mid-February? The online tool does not allow entering a summary of transactions for crypto and also does not support a .CSV file. It's unusable for someone with thousands of transactions.
