Yes, you will still need to upgrade. A 1099-NEC is always treated as self-employment income by the IRS, even if it’s gratuities, so it must be reported on Schedule C. TurboTax requires Deluxe (desktop) or Premium/Self-Employed (online) to enter a 1099-NEC. 

If your daughter is still your dependent, and you marked that she was a dependent on another return, she will not be able to claim the education credit on her return.  If she is your dependent, you will need to claim her education expenses on your return.     To enter your education expenses in TurboTax follow these steps:   Login to your account Go to Tax Home and then Deductions & Credits Scroll down to Education Credits, select Edit Go through all the questions, one wrong answer could have disqualified you from the credit.  For more information on education credits and their requirements see the TurboTax help article:   What education tax credits are available?

I am struggling to find the closing costs for the original property. I believe given what you said, I would not be able to deduct them regardless, so maybe not worth the effort to research and just leave as zero? 

In order to add the missing 1099-MISC, you'll need to amend your return to add. it.  You should wait until the return is fully processed.‌ If you are expecting a refund and are amending for an additional refund, the IRS states you should wait until you've received the original refund.   Log in to TurboTax, go to Tax Home, scroll down to your tax returns & documents, select the year you want to amend. Then select the Amend (change) return drop-down. Choose  Amend using TurboTax Online.   Here is some more information on filing amendments: How to File an Amended Tax Return with the IRS   The 1099-MISC input area is in  Federal > Wages & Income > Other Common Income> Form 1099-MISC

Thank you for your response. I am already reporting on my 2025 return that I made excess contribution to my 2025 HSA (As per my understanding I will be charged 6% annually if I do not do that). That means turbotax is already calculating excess contribution amount as part of my total income.  My confusion is that if I wait for 1099-SA until next year, the excess contribution will be used again while calculating total income for 2026, so I will be paying taxes on that amount in 2026 as well. So, if possible I want to get it done this year itself as I know the correct amount and read somewhere I do not need to wait for the 1099-SA.

Make sure you select Multi-member LLC, Partnership, or S-corporation when starting your return.     To enter partner/member/shareholder information, go to: Business Info Partner/member/Shareholder Information tab Enter the first partner's information Go through the questions regarding the first partner Once you get to the Partner Summary Screen, locate the Add Another Partner box. Click the Add another Partner box Follow the prompts to add the second partner's information Repeat the process if you need to add additional partners.   @LauraK1 

Hello! So I’m experiencing that same exact problem. I contacted TurboTax talked with a representative. We literally were on the phone for four hours and my problem was still not handled. They told me that it was an issue with my Apple. Which I’m pretty sure it’s an issue with the TurboTax download. So what did you do to resolve the issue? I’ve literally been dealing with this for over a month.

Go back to Federal → Other Tax Situations, and make sure the question, “Was anyone on this return assigned an Identity Protection PIN?” is NOT checked.    If this doesn't resolve the error, try clearing your cache and deleting your cookies. This usually resolves looping errors.
