My efile was rejected by the irs today with reject code F5695-096 but am finding very little information on this. I got this message   Description of error: If Form 5695, [ 'CostAmt' in 'MostExpnsElecGasHtPumpGrp' from 'HtPumpWtrHeaterBmssStoveBlrGrp' from 'EgyEffcntHmImprvCrGrp' ] has a non-zero value, then [ 'QMID' in 'MostExpnsElecGasHtPumpGrp' from 'HtPumpWtrHeaterBmssStoveBlrGrp' from 'EgyEffcntHmImprvCrGrp' ] must be present unless a binary attachment or [GeneralDependencySmall] with description beginning with "Substantiate QMID" is present in the return. What needs to be done: This return cannot be filed at this time due to a processing error that will be corrected on February 13, 2026. On or after this date please log back into the product and get the latest updates (TurboTax Online does this automatically). Then revisit the Federal return, run through review and re-transmit the return. If the reject continues, you may want to file this return via U.S. Mail: print and mail it to the appropriate taxing authority.

Thank you all for the posting.    Is there another software tax alternative available if Turbo Tax does not correct this issue? If you replace the Turbo Tax Schedule A (Form 8936) with the IRS Schedule A (Form 8936) would this be an option?

Yes, if you prefer to depreciate the computer over time instead of using the safe harbor option, then you would enter it as an Asset of your business.   To learn more about the business safe harbor election, see the following TurboTax help article:   What can I expense or depreciate with the business safe harbor election?  

Thanks! It's beyond confusing. I think it's downright wrong. If I'm understanding you, I'm forced to lie on question 3, since the total amount I've given for my RMD is actually not what I paid tax on.   I still don't see why TT doesn't ask some simple question up front like, "Is this 1099-R for regular payments from a defined benefit pension? "  and skip the questions that are irrelevant if you say "Yes."
