If you used the Desktop program last year here’s How to transfer into the Online version. You need to have the prior year .tax2024 file on your computer. https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/transfer-last-y... If you already started an online return you will have to clear it and start over to transfer.

It has less features and no Forms Mode. The Online versions don't have all the same forms so you might have to upgrade to a higher Online version. You can only do 1 return. Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2025 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done. In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something. You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.

If you report the income on the Form 1099-K as your business income, then you would need to deduct the money you contributed. You can do that by including it in Returns and Allowances or by setting up a miscellaneous expense account for it. 

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS releases your refund.    Here is a FAQs to help you track your refund: How do I track my state refund?

We’re currently working on an update for Form 5605.  There will be an update on March 6.  After this day you can go back through your return, and make any changes as needed, then file your return.   If you are using TurboTax Online the program updates automatically.   If you are using TurboTax Desktop make sure all updates have been run on your program. You can do this by clicking on "Online" in the black bar across the top of your TurboTax screen. And then select "Check for Updates". If you have any additional questions or information regarding this please return to TurboTax Community and we would be glad to help.

Thanks I figured out what the problem was.  when the software asked me how much my traditional IRA contribution was I entered nothing because there was a second blank below it asking how much of it I contributed during this year for 2025.  I will make the entire contribution this year so I only entered an amount in the second blank.  I should have entered the whole amount in both the first blank and the second blank then the software would have had a total from the first which has to be greater than or equal to the amount I contributed this year.  as I did it originally there was only an amount in box 11 for this year and a zero total in other blanks which is why it was flagged and the software told me I can't have a positive amount in box 11.

"Posting' isn't helping/solving a problem based on what i've observed from your Captain Obvious/Nonsensical posts...something you clearly don't understand.   M-Tax approach: "Search KB" "copy/paste" and add alot of nonsense and get dopamine hits from points/awards that mean nothing.   Some real winners: Upgrade to 11 and/or Use H&R Block ...now post that to at least 25 people asking questions...lol...   zero life.
