You can edit, add or delete anything on the tax return since it has not been filed. Just click on Federal on the left side of the online program screen,  Then access either the Wages & Income section, the Deductions & Credit section or the Other Tax Situations section.

I was forced into the ExpertAssist, which I have no intention of using. The Do It Yourself option was not available, or if it was, was cleverly hidden by TurboTax to trick customers.   Later on, after spending a lot of time inputting tax info, I realized that I was being charged more for this service that I do not want. Yet apparently the only way to get rid of it is to clear the return and start over.   That is unacceptable!

The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/25/2026   An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-curr...

First, be sure that there is not an issue with your Internet connection or other issue with your computer that is affecting your ability to use ID.me. Try these troubleshooting steps:   Reboot your device. Check your firewall and antivirus settings. Make sure they aren't blocking any feature of the software. Please see this help article for more information. Clear cache and cookies  If you are still having trouble, you might also try running the Windows System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files.   See this help center for IRS and ID.me if you haven't already done so.   If this issue ends up unreasonably delaying the processing of your tax return and issuing your refund, see this website for information on how to submit a request for assistance due to hardship with the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service.  

This difference is due to when assets were placed in service. If an asset was placed in service between January 1 and March 31, then the 34% rate applies for year two.   The IRS requires the use of the Mid-Quarter Convention (MQ) if you bought too much equipment at the end of the year. Click IRS link for more information: (40% Rule).   The good news? You are getting a larger deduction this year than you did in year one.   You can check your Form 4562, looking for Column (e) Convention, which should read, MQ instead of HY (Half-Year).   Note: If you do not believe you placed more than 40% of your assets in service in Q4, double-check the "Date Placed In Service" for all of your assets to confirm.

Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.    If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...   After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

@DeeDuckDave    Have you heard anything about importing a file of donated items into the online versions of TurboTax?   I know it doesn't work with the desktop versions but thought I read somewhere (on this board) that some sort of file could be imported (such as a TXF).   Do you have any insight?
