Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

When a like kind Section 1031 occurs and the replacement property has a lesser value than the traded property then capital gain can occur.  The property traded does continue to depreciated as though it is the new property. A suggestion is to rename the property so it's easier to track without altering your current depreciation.   You can add an asset to your books for the amount of recognized capital gain (or cash/non-like-kind property received) in a 1031 exchange, as this increases the basis of the new property. While the core, deferred gain is carried over, the "boot" (cash received) increases your basis by the amount of gain recognized.

Currently, TurboTax supports the manual entry of IRS Form 1099-DA. We are in the process of enhancing our CSV import and upload features to make this process more seamless. Timeline: We expect the new CSV import functionality to be available soon. Please note that this is an estimated target as we finalize the experience. Supported Documents: Once live, the import/upload feature will support both 1099-DA and DigitalAssetGainLoss files. If you are ready to file now, you can still enter your information manually. Otherwise, thank you for your patience while we get these automated tools ready for you!

I know about the QMID code. Seems like most manufacturers of electrical panels do not have one yet. The problem I encountered was not receiving the credit for the heat pump I had installed even though I had that QMID code until I went to the enabling page and used the same manufacturer code and then things finally showed up.

While many tax documents arrive by January 31, some brokerages delay consolidated 1099 statements (like 1099-B) until mid-February due to account complexity. If your data isn't ready to import yet, check back in a week or two.   If you are using TurboTax Online, try importing using a different browser. Make sure any VPN or Anvi-Virus is turned off.   See the following TurboTax Help articles for potential fixes: What if I can't import my 1099? How can I fix my 1099 import issue?

You can use the session method and enter your manually calculated session totals into TurboTax.       Instead of entering every W-2G exactly as written, enter your Total Net Winnings from all "winning sessions" as a single entry. In TurboTax, all W-2G income is entered with Other gambling income (not on a W-2G) and then the losses are entered on the very next screen.     Comprehensive Record-Keeping: You must maintain a precise, contemporaneous diary or similar record of all wins and losses. Supporting Documentation: You must be able to provide tickets, receipts, casino statements, or other proof. Limitation: While this "session" approach can help determine your daily net, overall for the year, you can only deduct losses up to the amount of your total reported gambling winnings, and you must itemize deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040).

Box 12 with code "J" would list the amount of your sick pay that was not included in boxes 1, 3 or 5. So, it may be that the W-2 is not listing your disability pay amount in box 12. However, that would not likely affect your tax since the correct taxable income should be listed in box 1. I suggest you enter the amount of the disability pay in box 12 and see if your tax changes. If not, then you can leave the box 12 entry off of your W-2 entry.
