Box 16 on a Form 1099-R is for entering the pension distribution applicable to the state you live in. If there is not an entry there but you had state tax withheld, then you need to enter the distribution amount for the state you live in, most likely the amount in box 1 or 2(a) on your Form 1099-R. TurboTax can't make that entry for you, since to do so would be making an assumption.   @julietaboulie

For spouses filing jointly, the standard deduction for 2025 is $31,500 + $1,600 for each of you who is 65 or older. There is also a $6,000 senior deduction for each of you 65 or older when your modified adjusted gross income is $150,000 or less. It is NOT part of the standard deduction. Rather it is computed separately on Schedule 1-a line 37 and that flows to line 13b on your 1040

In the FILE section, make sure the 'Filing Date' is the current date.  It may try to default to a 2025 date.    There is no rush to file an Amended return; it takes at least 12 weeks to process, whether Efiled or mailed, and probably won't be processed until the 2025 filing season concludes.  If you mail, you only need the Form 1040X and any supporting documents for changes that were made.  If a dependent or Filing Status was changed, no documents need to be included with the 1040X.     @mayelinkp 

Currently, TurboTax Online does not allow viewing the raw XML code that is transmitted electronically to the IRS. However,You can see the data that populates that XML. To do so:   In TurboTax Online, go to Tax Tools > Print Center. if using desktop, go to the forms. Select Print, save or preview this year's return. in desktop, go to the forms. Choose "Include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional)" if working online. Go to the forms directly if working in TurboTax online. Go to  "Foreign Tax Credit Carryover Reconciliation Worksheet" or "Schedule B (Form 1116)." If the information you are seeking are in these forms, it is in the XML. You can file amendments if the information is not correct and the carryovers did not populate in your return. This has been reported as an issue by some TurboTax users and this is being addressed by the developers. Meanwhile, I stand by my original statement "If your Form 1116 Schedule B shows the correct year (2025) in Forms Mode and if all amounts are correctly listed, then this information will be sent correctly to the IRS regardless what's listed on the pdf"   @Raytam .  

The wash rule rule prevents you from deducting the capital loss from a stock sale when you buy replacement stocks or securities (including contracts or options) within a 30-day period either before or after you sold substantially identical securities.   So, wash sale losses are not included in your reported capital gain/loss.   For more information, read this TurboTax Help article.

We are unable to reproduce this experience in TurboTax Business. It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2025" file that is experiencing this issue. You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information. If you would like to do this, here are the instructions:    Open your return and go to Online in the top menu, then choose "Send Tax File to Agent." You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number. Reply to this thread with a screenshot of your Token number (this avoids Community filters for numbers with a dash) and tag (@) the Expert requesting the token from you. Please include any States that are part of your return - this is VERY important.   We will attempt to determine the cause of your experience and possibly provide you with a resolution.

This was resolved and we haven't had additional reports of this. If you've tried all the solutions here, you will have to contact customer service.   Here is a link to contact  Turbo Tax Customer Service.
