When I look at the full list of income,  Under Retirement plans and Social Security, I go to  Social Security(SSA199) and click update, or Start on new install. I jumps back to the top of the full screen Income again.  

If you used the Desktop program before you may notice several differences and not like the online version.  It has less features and no Forms Mode.  You can only do 1 return per account.   Although you can use the same email address for 5 separate accounts.  Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2025 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done.  In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something.  You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.   Online is only good for 1 return per account.  Don’t use your account or you will overwrite your return and it will be gone.  And you have to pay for each account separately so it might get expensive.   You can use the same email address for 5 accounts.  You can start another return in TurboTax Online by: Logging out if you are in your account Choose what TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return Create your account screen Set up a new login for the second return Start working on the new return

You probably answered something incorrectly in MY INFO.   Go back to MY INFO, click the child’s name  and go through all of the interview questions carefully and slowly.  Read every screen top to bottom.     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.   If your dependent was a full-time college student, make sure you were careful on the MY INFO screen for “Uncommon situations” and that you indicated there that they were a student.

if you are being prompted for the 12/31/25 balance of your IRAs for Form 8606 for example you would use year-end statements since Form 5498s are not generally available until May (to reflect contributions made for prior tax year before 4/15/26).

So should I just print and mail all the e-file stuff that TurboTax gave me? There are a bunch of TurboTax E-Filing pages at the beginning, and then some payment vouchers (I guess from when I already paid my taxes?)

This is a public web site that can be seen by anyone—including scammers and would-be identity thieves who would love to contact you and pretend to be from TurboTax.  Please remove the personal information you posted here ASAP by returning to your post and clicking the three little blue dots on the upper right to edit your post.   UPDATE MY ACCOUNT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/account-updates/help/how-do-i-update-my-turbotax-account-information/00/25927  

If you are reimbursed in a later year for medical expenses you deducted in an earlier year, you must generally report the reimbursement as income up to the amount you previously deducted as medical expenses.    If you're claiming a Medical Expense Deduction for 2025, there's a question in that interview that asks if you received any reimbursements and amount.  This effectively reduces your Medical Expenses for 2025.   In your case, since your premiums were paid with pre-tax income, you can report the income as 'Other Reportable Income.'     Down the left side of the screen, click Federal. Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income. Scroll down to Less Common Income and click on the dropdown menu. To the right of Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, click the Start / Revisit button. To the right of Other reportable income, click the Start / Revisit button. At the screen Any Other Taxable Income, click Yes. At the screen Other Taxable Income, enter a description such as “Medical reimbursement” and the amount. Click Continue.   Here's more info on Medical Reimbursements.   @200008255bh
