Here's how to do this in TurboTax Online: Navigate to Federal Taxes in the upper left, then Wages and Income.  Add or Edit Investments and Savings (1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-K, Crypto) > Add/Edit Choose Add Investments Choose "Enter a different way"  Select 1099-DIV and continue Choose "Type it in myself" Enter the information from the 1099-DIV requested in the interview

You can enter the information from the 1098-T to enter your expenses, and answer the interview questions.  TurboTax will calculate the education credits you're entitled to.   Here's how to enter your 1098-T in TurboTax, from Where do I enter Form 1098-T (Tuition Statement)?:   Enter the 1098-T in the section for Tuition: TurboTax Online: Here is the link: 1098-T. or use the magnifying glass, type "1098-T", and select "Jump to 1098-T" TurboTax Desktop: Select Search. Search for Form 1098-T.   See: Education credits - AOTC and LLC, How do Education Tax Credits Work?

In the Foreign Tax Credit section, you'll be asked first if you have other foreign income to report, other than what you already entered in the interest/dividends section.  Say Yes and Continue a few screens until you get a screen asking you to select the type of foreign income you have.  You'll be asked for the Country, Amounts of Income, Tax Paid, and whether 'paid or accrued'.  You'll then see the info on Form 1116.   However, if you're excluding foreign wages, go to the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion section to report this, and remember that you cannot also take a Foreign Tax Credit for income excluded from US taxation.    The screens vary depending on which version of TurboTax you're using, which is why instructions may differ.  If you're using TurboTax Online, clear your Cache and Cookies periodically.    Here's more info on Claiming the Foreign Tax Credit and Form 2555, Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.    @kurmakote

I don't have a W in section 12 of my W2 and in the HSA section of "Deductions and Credits"  I select "None of the above" to complete removing HSA information, but it still shows up. It's very frustrating and i don't know how to fix it. Please help!

I see that for 1120S (Federal), I need to mail the 1120S in with From 8936+Schedule A.    But what about for state? I am in California. So should I also mail the 100S with the Form 8936 + Schedule A to California FTB? Or I can e-file my 100S to CA via Turbotax Business w/out the Form 8936+Schedule A?

After upgrading to live help, and after multiple TurboTax "professionals" botched things to the point that I filed amended Federal and State returns - and ended up over-paying on both, I gave up and will never use Turbo Tax or any Intuit product again. Not ever. Mind you, they (3 different so-called accountant pro's) wasted dozens of hours of my life on the phone with them over a few months in 2024. It was impossible to get a refund from Intuit even though I cancelled my service subscription; the online refund portal did not work; and I never received a response or acknowledgement when I sent a letter and receipts and polite requests to them by mail. My advice is to give up immediately, file for an extension (which is free .... simply pay what you think you owe now), and consult a private CPA or one of those storefront tax outfits like H&R Block. I wish I could offer some help -- but I can't. And for that matter, do not waste your time trying to get help from TurboTax. Whatever they tell you will only make matters worse.
