What do you need?  Was the 2025 program deleted from your computer?  Or are you looking to buy the Desktop program?     You can buy the Desktop Download program here or in stores or online like Amazon, Costco, etc. https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download You need a full Windows 11 or Mac OS Sonoma 14 computer to install it.  

I tried this solution and it is still not opening properly in Windows 10. All previous versions have been quirky but not like this.   Any other ideas?  And I am not upgrading my forensic desktop to Windows 11 just for Turbotax (not a solution)

There was an update to this last week.    If you are using desktop software you may need to do a manual update. Try clearing your Cache and Cookies and then try this link instructions.   If you are using the online software, Clear Cache and Cookies.    Not all instances have been resolved for form 5695. If you are claiming a credit for an external door, you will need to wait until March 13 and try filing again. 

If you have already requested your refund, you should receive an email from TurboTax about it. It may still be processing.  You can contact TurboTax Customer Service using this link: Turbo Tax Customer Service  For additional information: How do I request a refund for my TurboTax product?

In short, if an insufficient number of users want or need a particular feature, that feature had better not consume a lot of their resources.   Also, their desktop tax prep software is a relatively small percentage of their total business revenue.

You can post here and we can probably tell you how Turbo Tax is reporting it or how to enter it  or a work around.  It may be an issue they already know and are working on.  Have you been updating your program?  Go up to Online - Check for  Updates.  

I wouldn't think it would take much time, at least that's what I've heard from others. I would give it a couple days. Have you checked for 1095-A's for every person on your return? I wonder if there is more than one.

I believe you are trying to report pension income in TurboTax. If so, you need to file a substitute form 1099-R.    To enter a substitute form 1099-R in Turbo Tax Desktop follow these instructions:   Find the Retirement Plans and Social Security menu option in the Wages and Income section of TurboTax Start or Update IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) Choose Add (Another) 1099-R Choose I'll type it in myself On the screen that says Tell Us Which 1099-R You Have choose I need to prepare a Substitute 1099-R   To enter a substitute form 1099-R in Turbo Tax Online follow these instructions:   Find the Retirement Plans and Social Security menu option in the Wages and Income section of TurboTax Start or Update IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) Choose Add (Another) 1099-R Choose I'll type it in myself Choose the source of your 1099-R form Enter your pension distribution into the Form 1099-R entry screens Enter the distribution amount in box 1 of the substitute 1099-R Enter the earnings in box 2(a) When you come to the screen that says Do any of these situations apply to you? Check the box that says I need to file a substitute 1099-R and follow the instructions

I figured it out...Most of the time when you type in the full number (with cents included) TurboTax takes care of the rounding.  In this instance it didn't adjust the amount entered to a whole number.  So I had to round to whole numbers that made it so box 2 + box 3 equaled box 1.

Yes, TurboTax can handle Form 1099-R as you described above. Code G in Box 7 of Form 1099-R indicates a direct rollover of a distribution to a qualified plan, a section 403(b) plan, a governmental section 457(b) plan, or an IRA.   Refer to TurboTax Help article What do all the codes in Box 7 of the 1099-R mean?   Follow the steps below to enter your Form 1099-R:   Select Federal Select Wages & Income Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security Select Start by IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) Add your 1099-R. Refer to the TurboTax Help article  Where do I enter my 1099-R? for more details.
