I submitted my federal return and it was accepted. Looking at the filing instructions, it says the amout to be direct debited but the date of withdrawl is empty. Looks like a bug. How do I confirm the date of withdrawl I specified in filing?
I tried that already. It put a pending hold on my husband's account for 48 hours.... Is there a way to not have to create a new account?  I'm using the online version.

congrats on doing your first taxes   the US Gov Interest question should only apply to the 1099-DIV.   If you held T-Bills at Fidelity you should see the interest from those on your 1099-INT Box 3 (some brokers report it differently on 1099-B but start with 1099-INT Box 3, hopefully Fidelity keeps it simple) and your brokerage statement should contain all the details if you need to review it.   for the 1099-DIV after you fill in the boxes you will get the checkbox/question about US Gov Interest and can provide a $ amount.  For this you need to refer to the link below (all funds provide this sort of breakdown for official tax reporting, do not use prospectuses or other general research pages with asset allocations) and identity the fund(s) you held which paid dividends in Box 1a, and multiply the dividend paid by the fund (in the detail breakdown in the Fidelity consolidated 1099), by the percentage shown.  See guidance in the link below also.   FXAIX has a very low % as it's all in equities.  But look out for your cash position also, Fidelity usually defaults cash to SPAXX so you may have dividends reported on 1099-DIV from SPAXX which will have some US Government Interest.   SPAXX symbol is not shown you have to look up by name for that one (Government Money Market Fund).  If you have multiple funds with US Gov amounts you have to add it up offline and put the total into TT.   This amount doesn't affect your Fed return but should feed through to your state return along with 1099-INT Box 3 as a subtraction/exemption from your state tax so check that when you do your state.   https://www.fidelity.com/bin-public/060_www_fidelity_com/documents/taxes/TY24GSESupplementalLetter.pdf

Came here to say this. have used turbotax for years but this is a scummy tactic to get more of my money. I will gladly pay the standard fee for the service, but as my taxes are simple the advanced options are not used but i am FORCED into using it as it gives me no choice. Therefore scummy website stealing my money.  
I cant file because TT is looking for foreign income from k1, however neither partner or individual has any foreign income listed on k1
I made my Box 14 empty. I still get a review error saying 'Not eligible for electronic filing'. Is there a way to get past the error and e-file? This is ridiculous. Thanks
I am getting this error and am not trying to save it anywhere but the C drive.  What is a better solution?

My brother passed in early 2024 in NY and the estate has not been paid out yet, but i received a 2024 K-1 tax form with no beginning or end date noted showing a long term capital loss.    As it is April 2025 and the estate has not paid out yet, do I need to amend his 2024 taxes or does this get filed for 2025?

Have you tried setting your computer layout setting to the recommended setting.  The size of your text, apps, and other items is too large.  When it is too large, it prohibits the items on the software from displaying.  This is why you cannot see the Continue button.  To fix this:   1. Right-click on your desktop and go to display settings. 2.  Scroll down to Scale and Layout and make sure it is set to the Recommended (possibly 100%) on your computer 3.  Have your display resolution at the recommended as well.
