A bad solution perhaps but I wanted to see what would happen if I bypassed the errors and tried to file my return leaving the errors unresolved.  VOILA!  I got all the way to the "Transmit My Return Now" button but didn't click it in the hopes Intuit will address it as a bug.  While  I can't be 100% sure TurboTax would accept my "Transmit" click, it's nice to have a backup solution if needed.   And I'm TOTALLY frustrated by the inability to contact TurboTax without paying extra. I get it -- most contacts are "user errors" -- but still, there's got to be a better way.    

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.   Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead.    What is the rejection code or rejection message?     If it was rejected for AGI—-your 2024 AGI might not be in the IRS system if you filed late.   Try using zero instead.   If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/where-do-i-correct-my-agi-in-turbotax-online/00/26311   If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

Use the name that matches your current Social Security card.   Please be aware that each tax year must be prepared separately using the forms and software for the specific years in which the income was received.    You will not be able to e-file past year returns; they must be filed by mail.  Do not try to combine them in any way.  Separate envelopes for each year.   Get 2022 filed by April 15 2026 or you forfeit the refund.   You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2025 only.   Only a 2025 return can be prepared online and only a 2025 return can be e-filed.   Online preparation and e-filing for 2022, 2023, and  2024 is permanently closed. Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.   To file a return for a prior tax year  If you need to prepare a return for 2022, 2023, or 2024  you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s) https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/ You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.   Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.  

@goyal_raj ,  Tax assessors are often behind, at least the first year -- often they will use  "supplementary " tax bill , if possible within the year.  Else you will see a large update based on assessment next / first year after purchase.  That is why I am suggesting that for land price , go talk to local realtor or even the assessor's office to get a generally accurate figure.  Once you rent out the prop. and start the depreciation schedule , it is easier  to keep it consistent and constant.  Note that the depreciation that you are allowed each year  will accumulate and when the prop. is sold off will  ( a) increase the taxable gain and (b) any gain caused by this will be given ordinary gain  tax  (-- not capital gain --) treatment. Items that you purchase  and generally with a life lime less than  a year are reported as expense.   Washing machines, dryers generally have a life of five years ( I think ) and  can / should be  depreciated -- separately if not included in the acquisition price of the house.  Items   with nominal cost such as fans are often expensed.   Is there more I can do for you ?   Namaste  ji  

Esto puede ser por que hay alguna respuesta que no contestaste correctamente o que ya no califiquen a los créditos debido a la edad, o porque tu ingreso sea más alto.  Primero regresa a la sección donde ingresaste la información de tus dependientes y revisa que toda la información esté correcta.     Para revisar tus dependientes:   Abre tu declaración Ve a la sección de Mi Información Presiona Editar y revisa cada uno de tus dependientes Si todo está correcto es posible que no califiques a los créditos, visita el siguiente enlace para más información de los requisitos de cada crédito.     Reglas para reclamar dependientes en los impuestos

If you are using TurboTax Online, and the program is "stuck" on a screen, try the following basic troubleshooting steps:   Check your Internet connection. Hardwired connections work best. Try logging out and logging back in again. Try using a different browser. Chrome generally works well. Try restarting your device. Try clearing your cache and cookies.     If after trying all of the options mentioned you still have the same problem:   See this help article and this one for instructions on how to contact TurboTax customer support depending on which product you are using.  

It depends on if the computer cost more or less than $2,500.    Navigate to Federal > Wages & Income > Self-employment income and expenses Edit the business or add if not listed Choose Add Expense Choose the checkbox next to assets and continue Assets will appear in your list of expenses, choose the pencil icon to edit Answer "Did you buy any assets for a rental property, business, or farm that cost $2,500 or less in 2025?" based on the price of the computer. If you answer yes, it was less than $2,500, continue through the interview and you will have the option to expense the asset (or depreciate if you prefer). If the computer cost more than $2,500, continue to the screen for your depreciable assets, and choose add. Here, you will enter the details for assets costing over $2,500.

Form 1040 is the "whole thing" that TurboTax is preparing, which includes your non-employee compensation for the year, and any other items of includable income and expense. You don't have to worry about that form being populated, because it is the federal tax default for all individuals.    How was your education stipend reported to you (from the university) for your year-end tax reporting purposes? Have you, or will, you receive a 1098-T? That will clarify how to enter the data into the interview screens. If the form is not available yet, you may have to reach out to your university's bursar office for further clarification. 

Sorry, no luck.  This is pretty frustrating.   Regarding the instructions referred to in the last post:   First, sign out of your account (otherwise, you'll be thrown into a loop in step 2). Go to our Let's get you signed in page. Enter your email address, phone number, or user ID. We'll send a code to either your email address or your phone. Enter the code we've sent you. We'll show you a list of your accounts. Select the one you want to sign in to.   Once I pass step 4, I get right into my main dashboard.  There is no list of accounts.  When I access my account info, I see only one user ID, which is the same as my email address.  There is no clear way to add another user ID using the same email address.

You need your 2024 AGI to efile 2025. The AGI is on 2024 1040 or 1040SR line 11. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse. How to find the AGI. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947 If you didn't file 2024 or filed it later in the year or mailed it, then try entering 0 for the AGI. If that doesn't work you will have to print and mail your return. Or request a transcript from the IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

No, you cannot file and pay taxes with a Form 941 with Turbo Tax.  However, if it is a Household employee, you can and should make the payments with a Schedule H.  This can be filed with your 1040.  Please see What Is Schedule H: Household Employment Taxes - TurboTax.
