@speed1959  You need to open a .tax file from 2002?  Turbo Tax only supports the last 3 years 2022-2024.  So you  can not install or update years before 2022.  And the 16 digit License Code didn't start until 2019.   If you can’t find or install the program to open a .tax file you can try  www.taxprinter.com to convert a .tax file to pdf.  No connection to Intuit or Turbo Tax. They might be expensive.

Assuming that you are NOT claiming your daughter as a dependent, you and she should come to an agreement with each other on how you will allocate any premium tax credit you two may qualify for (e.g., it can be 100/0, 75/25, 50/50, etc.).  It just can't be more than 100% when added together.    If she  is a dependent, then please see this TurboTax article for various scenarios: I'm on my parents' 1095-A form. What do I do on my return?  

You get the $6K if your adjusted gross income  (Form 1040-sr line 11b) is under $150,000, and it disappears at $250,000. The calculation is on Schedule 1-A, line 37. The amount plus any other deductions from Schedule 1-A appears on Form 1040-sr line 13c 

No, you won't need to enter it manually.  When your first start on your W-2, TurboTax will ask for the Employer ID.  In some instances, the information can be imported automatically by entering a few additional numbers from the W2.  If not, the next screen will give you the option to Upload it from my computer, which will open file explorer.  Locate the PDF file, click on it, then click Open on the file explorer screen.  That will import the W-2 information into TurboTax.   Be sure to double check the entries in TurboTax against the entries on the W-2 to make sure that all of the information has been imported correctly.  Some W-2 forms have multiple pages, so be sure that all entries on additional pages are imported correctly as well.

@chetjunior , on-line search suggests that this is a TurboTax issue and is "supposed" to be fixed by 02/06.  Suggestions are to refile after that date and see what happens.   It does not look like an IRS rejection code.

Were you able to transfer your 2024 info into a 2025 return?  We don't recommend saving files to a cloud-type storage, as they can become corrupted when transferring back to C drive to work on your return.  If you were able to transfer/start a 2025 return successfully, this is most likely a back-up file created by TurboTax that you could delete.   @user17696908227     

Is it about 1/3 of the amount on your W-2 that is on your Paycheck stub?   If so, this is because only the .5 or premium on top of your regular pay that you get paid for overtime is the amount that is deductible.  Your base pay is not.  So if your OT on your pay stub is $27,000 and your OT on your W2 is $9,000 that is because that is the deductible amount.   Some more information on No Tax on Overtime Deduction   To qualify the following must apply: You must be a non-exempt employee eligible for Overtime under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act The Overtime must be on hours worked OVER 40 hours.  (if you live in a state where OT pay is required after 8 hours, this does not apply) Overtime must be paid at more than your regular hourly rate.   Only the amount that is over your regular hourly rate is deductible.  For example,  If you make $30 per hour and are paid OT at $45 an hour, you can only deduct $15 per hour as overtime deduction. Your filing status cannot be Married Filing Separately Your income must be less than $150,000 if you are single or $300,000 if Married Filing Jointly.    To do so in TurboTax take the following steps: Enter your W-2 Enter your Overtime in box 14 and select Overtime in the dropdown Continue through to the overtime questions You will be given the opportunity to have TurboTax help you calculate your Overtime or You can select you already know the amount.
