TurboTax Reject Code S1-F1040-080-03 This is a system issue on their end. According to TurboTax, it’s a problem with their software, and they advised refiling on the 6th. They’re currently rolling out an update.

Thanks for your replies to this @Hal_Al!, especially the detail about filling the 1099-Q only necessary when the distribution is taxable...very helpful. This is a very serious glitch in TurboTax: with no way to enter qualified educational expenses other than tuition, users who took distributions will be incorrectly taxed on those expenses. In my situation that amounted to THOUSANDS of dollars in incorrect taxes. Additionally, guidance from TurboTax explaining that filing of the 1099-Q is only required when the distribution is taxable (perhaps with a guided walkthrough) would be hugely helpful here. Is there any way to report this to TurboTax?

No, you cannot know with certainty that your former employer has issued your W-2.  You should be sure that they have your current address if you have moved since you worked for that employer.  Otherwise the W-2 may be mailed to an incorrect address.     Take a look at the following TurboTax help article for further information and advice in your situation:   What if I don't have my W-2 by February?  

Was there a specific step in the tax return process (federal, state, deductions, W-2 import, etc.) where this issue starting appearing?    Try these options to fix the issue you are having: If you are using TurboTax Online Check ‌your browser's settings.

Same here, asset has been in place since 2020 and 'Percentage for Special Depreciation Allowance' has been checked as 100 & 50% since 2020.  This year TT is giving me the same message:  "Qualified Prop 100% & 50% should be blank.  This asset is not Qualified Property for the Special Depreciation Allowance"

I have the same problem for Turbo Tax Premier 2025.  I have installed the patch and also uninstalled and reinstalled the desktop software.  The depreciation feature doesn't work.  I get a message stating it's not ready yet.  But in other areas Turbo Tax help is stating it is ready.

There is no federal limit for the maximum amount you are able to contribute annually to a state 529 plan. The 19,000 maximum refers to the amount that you are allowed to contribute to a child's 529 savings account without having to file an IRS gift tax return -- at $19,000 and below, this is an excludable gift amount from you to your child. If you have already contributed more than the excludable amount during the taxable year, you will need to enter all of that into the software accurately, for the preparation of your state tax return. You will also need to prepare a gift tax return between yourself and the child beneficiary, as well, outside of TurboTax.  This form is paper filed to the IRS separately. Learn more at the IRS instructions for the gift tax return Form 709. General information about state tax benefit contribution maximums to qualified 529 plans.

I am so annoyed.  Like you, I spent an hour going over the steps again and again, thinking that I must have missed a check mark or something.  Thanks for giving my sanity back by confirming that there is in fact an issue with TurboTax on adding the Room and Board.

File it by mail.   E-filing for 2024 is permanently closed.   Use a mailing service like certified mail so you will know it was received since you will have a long wait.   Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return  

If you are self-employed (not a W-2 employee) and you are traveling away from home for your business, then the cost of your Lyft ride could be considered a business travel deduction.     Otherwise, if the Lyft was used to commute to work, then it is not deductible as shared in the answer by xmasbaby0.   @williamsash0150
