In the Tools Center click on TOPIC SEARCH. In the Topic Search line enter W-2G without quotes. Make the selection in the list and click GO. Next screen will say:  "Did you win money or other prizes in 2024?" If "yes", the screen after that will be "Did you receive a W-2G?" Keep answering until that topic is finished.

Have you already efiled (submitted) the return?   Or are you just now getting ready to file?   If you haven't yet filed and are seeing wrong bank account information that transferred in from last year, see this FAQ on how to change it.    The method to change it will be in Step 2 of the Refund/Payment info process.   FAQ:  How do I change my transferred direct deposit information? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/change-transferred-direct-deposit-information/L77NCbU6D_US_en_US   NOTE:  Be aware that if you choose the optional "Get your refund up to 5 days early", it could end up charging you a $35 service fee.    And also be aware that if you choose to pay your TurboTax fees out of your Federal refund, that payment method has an additional $40 service fee ($45 for California filers.)   So you save money if you pay the product fees upfront with credit/debit card.

In this public forum we don't know what edition you ended up in and what all you are being charged for.   Sounds like you either upgraded to a paid product or added the LIVE service (tax expert help during preparation) or the optional PLUS or MAX benefits.  We may be able to tell you how to downgrade or remove something.  Free Edition can only prepare a very simple 1040 return.   Here's how to view your fees:   FAQ:  How do I review my fees in Online TurboTax? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US

I'm also having the same issue.  If Ticketmaster doesn't provide the buyer's fees and taxes, how are you supposed to be able to account for them?  The transaction report provided by Ticketmaster just shows the seller payout amount.  How do I figure out from the monthly amounts shown on the 1099-K the difference?
