I too am very disappointed with this policy.  I need to copy my old Canadian TurboTax files over from my Windows 10 computer to a new computer with Windows 11.  I was able to get all the old programs downloaded from TurboTax.  I could activate all of the older year's versions except for 2021, 2022 and 2023.   When I tried to activate the program for these three years I received the message "All available activations for that code have been used Error code 603".  Help stated that I needed to buy a new activation code since I had used three installs.  Very disappointed that Turbo Tax will not let you have access to historical data without buying another subscription.  Yes. I have PDF files but ...They should provide an activation code to help these users who are only updating their computers.  It is not like you will be using the program for any commercial gain.  It is only to have access to the historical data.  Agreed the software may not be supported by Turbo Tax but the earlier program still work.  Why do I need the program?  Likely will never use it but just because.  Somewhere I saw someone suggest that I could remove one of the old programs from one of the old computers.  Would this free up a subscription so I could activate the older programs on the new Windows 11 computer?   I have always been very happy with TurboTax in the past.  But now - Intuit, consider me another unhappy customer.

Agree... just worried  if I put nothing in 8949, if coinbase one day report to the IRS SS# and gains, i will be flagged as someone who did not pay the tax, even though the partnership did, of course, maybe best way is just to handle it then, all records are crystal clear... also you are right the IRS needs to know who the gains belong to. ? Maybe can just put that in transaction description box? "gains reported by EIN XX-XXXX ?

It might not be an issue at all, BUT if you do report the full amount received as nominee, the IRS is going to want to know the responsible party(ies) (i.e., who should have received all, or part of, the income reported).

You are posting from desktop Home and Business.   If that is what you used when you prepared your 2024 return, you need to use your desktop software to amend instead of trying to log in to an online account.   Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Tax Forms>Amend a return

@user17549315027 Please stop attempting to post phone numbers, etc.  in this public user forum.  Anyone using the internet can see your posts, and scammers and identity thieves love to troll here so that they can pretend to call you from TurboTax.   Luckily the filter removed most of it except for your name.  You can edit out your name by going to the three blue dots on the upper right.   UPDATE MY ACCOUNT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/account-updates/help/how-do-i-update-my-turbotax-account-information/00/25927   Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)     See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -   CURRENT YEAR https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk  

AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY TAX CREDIT https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-credits-deductions/eligible-take-american-opportunity-tax-credit/L8ZQFKvLe_US_en_US?uid=m6efibfz   AOC will be shown on line 29 of your Form 1040          https://www.irs.gov/help/ita/am-i-eligible-to-claim-an-education-credit

Oh---wait-----you are about to make a mistake.   At age 20, she is a qualified child dependent.   There is not a "choice" about saying she cannot be claimed on her own return.   The rules is that if she CAN  be claimed, she must say on her own return that someone else can claim her.    If she already filed that way, then leave her return alone.    If she has not yet filed, then in MY INFO she must say that someone else can claim her as a dependent.   The education credit goes on YOUR return---not on the dependent student's return.   If you filed without using the education credit, then that is what you should be changing if you amend--not changing to remove your daughter as a dependent.   Dependents cannot claim education credits.     WHO CAN I CLAIM AS A DEPENDENT?   You can claim a child, relative, friend, or fiancé (etc.) as a dependent on your 2024 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements: Qualifying child They're related to you. They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students). No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children. They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply). They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year. Qualifying relative They don't have to be related to you (despite the name). They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply). They made less than $5050 in 2024 (not counting Social Security) You provided more than half of their financial support. When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them. There may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.
