I was able to get past this. On the People Wks (Person on the return), I had to delete the entries in the student status section - part I of the form. So even though this was for an elementary school student, I didn't check the box that they were a student during 2025 on line 1, and unchecked elementary on line 2. After that, Turbo Tax didn't find any errors with the return. I hope this will help someone.

No, you cannot directly transfer or import tax return data from TurboTax Home & Business (a personal product for Schedule C) into TurboTax Business (for 1065, 1120S, 1120, 1041 entities). They are separate, specialized programs. TurboTax Home & Business is for self-employed individuals, independent contractors, and sole proprietors (1040 schedule C). TurboTax Business is strictly for corporations, partnerships, and estates/trusts. @dejale

I talked to Turbotax support team and they said that even though they have the warning it is supposed to work on Windows 10. I also found another thread that said to repair after the install ( Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64) and click "Repair." ) and that made no difference. My desktop has plenty of horsepower for Turbotax, as it is used for forensics. Turbotax deskop has always had some quirks but this is the worst. Tried getting escalated tech support and that was a joke. Don't need front end people who say just reinstall or "just upgrade to windows 11 pro". 40 years in IT I think I can install software. Gads. What is the solution! There must be a driver or rights somewhere that TT2025 wants. What is it?

Hello, My husband and I both just opened a Roth IRA and maxed out our 2026 contributions. We made no contribution to a Roth IRA in 2025 but we were filing married filing separate for 2025 taxes for student loan purposes (my already expensive payment more than doubles if we file joint). I have decided that next year we will file joint because what we are missing out on filing separate isn't outweighing the benefit of a low student loan payment. Do I need to remove my Roth IRA 2026 contribution if I plan to file our 2026 taxes jointly?

I've cleared my cache, cookies, deleted my bank information, and verified with Bank of America that the routing # is correct, but TurboTax still will not allow me to e-file my return. The red error message says "Double check that you're using the correct routing number." ... which I've done multiple times. Is there a way to bypass this screen and finish e-filing?

Hello DianeW777 Thank you for your reply. Appreciate it. I am in a pickle now on which path to take to avoid the self employment (fica) taxes on this onetime stipend income : [1] Remove 1099 NEC form and follow your instructions to report the stipend under "Scholarships/Grants" or [2] Use 1099 NEC form and chose HOBBY. Which one is safer to not trigger an IRS audit ? Since the IRS has received these 1099NEC details from the payer and expecting self employment taxes. The earlier version of TT provided more details for the HOBBY option like below. This is NOT money earned as an employee or self employed individual ; it is from a sporadic activity or hobby Here is the link https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed-group/discussion/my-1099-nec-form-was-from-an-internship-how-do-i-report-that-on-my-taxes-since-it-is-not-my-business/00/2975624 I will wait for your guidance. Thanks

Actually, I just realized that one of the questions in the educational section asks if the amount of box 5 in the 1098-T was included in income section (W2 or 1099-MISC). Once I checked that and entered the amount in the income section, everything worked! I was able to add the Roth IRA. And didn't have to change the 1098-T amounts.

To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January for the prior year, go to Federal on left or at top (Personal for Home & Business) Deductions and Credits Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid Estimates - click the Start or Update button For a state estimated payment made in Jan 2025 for the prior year, go to 2024 state estimated taxes paid in 2025. I read a post that you may have to expand or go to Other common situations. Or maybe uncommon situations. Or look for More Tax Breaks.

I am trustee for my parent's trust since their death. Their home was titled in their revocable trust (now irrevocable sub-trusts for the benefit of myself and my brother). I have allowed my brother to live there. Since by law I am technically the owner as trustee, my insurance agent told me that in order to get homeowners insurance, the house is considered trust business property, and I would need a rental agreement between the trust and my brother. So, I created a lease for him but only charge him $1/year. I pay the property taxes, water bill, insurance, and repairs from my brother's sub-trust. Since the rental income is only $1/year, can I deduct the expenses that I mentioned on Schedule E which reduces the amount of income that is reported as being distributed to my brother or should I just count all of these expenses as distribution for the benefit of my brother since they are all originating from trust income?

Yes, start at the beginning of this thread and read the entire thread (especially my communication with Intuit rep) where everything is explained.
