You wrote "Fidcial".  Is that supposed to be National Financial Services?    That's a subsidiary of Fidelity and does provide some 1099 payment services for Fidelity, and is often listed as the "Payer" on a Fidelity 1099. if you have a regular Fidelity Investments account, are you sure you aren't supposed to be importing directly from the routine Fidelity Investments brokerage account?   If you're not sure, you may wish to give a quick phone call to Fidelity (they're easy to reach) and ask them which one you're supposed to be using for importing into TurboTax.    The fact that you don't recognize "Wealthscape Investor" makes me think you may have a regular Fidelity brokerage account instead of an account set up at National Financial Services itself.    How do you normally view your holdings and download a 1099 PDF online or conduct other account management--is it through the Fidelity website?

2/19/26 Update:  I am using the TT Home and Business for Mac and the update was released overnight.  After downloading, installing, and restarting the program the Depreciation and Amortization section is now functional.  I just entered a rental property sale without any issues.

That date has unfortunately been moved back a week.  The TurboTax amending process will not be ready until either late on Feb 25 or morning of Feb 26, when the Form 1040X is expected to become available in TurboTax.   In the meantime, do NOT make any changes in your return.  When you start the amending process, it has to start off exactly as originally filed.   If you were due a Federal refund, it's generally recommended to wait for your original return to fully process at the IRS and that you have received the refund.    If you amend the Federal return, you may also have to amend the state return (if applicable.)

@ Benson-Davis  Oh, you didn't mention if your efiled return was accepted.   To be sure you successfully efiled, log into your Online TurboTax and look at the Tax Home page and check the efile status there.

I agree that, in some areas, TurboTax is lacking in at least abbreviated explanations. But consider that the latest tax act is about 1,000 pages. Explanation of these provisions runs thousands of pages more and this is just one tax bill. 

I'm really hoping that is online as well.  I find it amazing it took 8 pages of comments before someone realized what they dropped from the application.  Obviously, someone really screwed up in the testing.   By the 27th is the deadline, otherwise, I'm finding a new software.  Right now I'm $1800 over where I should be.  Not good!

The amending process has not yet opened up for 2025 returns.  The preparation of Form 1040X is expected to become available late on Feb 25 or morning of Feb 26.   In the meantime, do NOT make any changes in your return.  When you start the amending process, it has to start off exactly as originally filed.   If you were due a Federal refund, you should wait for your original return to fully process at the IRS and that you have received the refund.   Before you prepare your amended return, also see the info in this FAQ and video:   FAQ:  How do I amend my Federal tax return for this current year? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US   If you amend the Federal return, you may also have to amend the state return (if applicable.)
