You might review the QBI questions for each property to see what you entered on the page "Name and Employer ID number for this rental." Your business name should be different for each property, even if you simply add a number after the name. Ex: Rental1, Rental2. Note that QBI questions appear after you click Done from the Rental Property summary page.   Then run Final Review again to see if the message has been resolved. If not, you should be able to find the QBI worksheet that will link to each property.

I'm also experiencing this. I submitted the return as well and it got rejected from Federal while also having the save files being corrupted. They're not on a cloud drive and I have a PDF file in addition to the tax2025 file extension file. Why would the PDF be corrupted and is this corruption why the return got rejected?

To enter your US Military Retired Pay income from Defense Finance and Accounting Service (Form DFAS-CL) in TurboTax Online, go to the Wages & Income section. Look for the category labeled Military Retirement Pay or Pensions and Annuities (Form 1099-R). Even if you didn't receive a Form 1099-R, military retired pay is generally reported similarly. If there's no option for DFAS-CL or a non-1099 retired pay, use the Add Other Income or Other Taxable Income section to enter the total retired pay as income. This ensures your military retired pay is included correctly even without a 1099 form, as the income is taxable and must be reported.

It usually saves the user a lot of time reentering information if you can transfer information entered in your 2024 return, especially if you have carryover issues like depreciation. If you have a very simple return, and different sources of income than you did in 2024, it may not make too much difference.   If you have any of the login information from your 2024 account, such as the user ID, try the TurboTax account recovery tool to access your account. Use the "try something else" link at the bottom of the screen to user other forms of information to identify the account if just a phone number or email address don't work.   Once you get into last year's account, and start a 2025 return, TurboTax will populate with information about income and deductions you used last year.   See this help article for more information.
