strange. i have desktop deluxe. 2024 has been efiled.  opened the app and selected amend. I did not have to sign into my account.    Not sure this is the answer.  perhaps when you first installed the desktop you logged into your account and never logged out. I don't know if Turbotax automatically logs you out at some point. It makes no sense that a desktop user would need to log in. But then again this is Turbotax. 

Go to Federal Taxes > Other Tax Situations. Under Additional Tax Payments click the Start button for "Underpayment penalties." Proceed through the questions. If you have an underpayment penalty on your tax return you will come to a screen with the heading "Annualized Income Method" that asks "Do you want to annualize your income?" If you click Yes it will lead you through preparing Form 2210 Schedule AI.  

Tried your solution on TurboTax Premier 2024. I keep getting "We recommend you revisit the last topic you were working on to make sure all of your info's correct."    Pressing OK sends me back to the Other Tax Situations menu.   I cannot find a form with a field to manually add the IP pin.

@mesquitebean @user17600572091  Won't know for certain until the IRS accepts the return, but this appears to have worked. I had previously attempted to add it directly in forms mode, but was not on the right worksheet. 1040 wouldn't accept the change directly. Thanks for the help!!!

I didn't realise I could put Win11 in a VM on a machine with an "old" CPU, so that's helpful information, thanks. I only ever fired up my Win10 VM to do taxes - I'd run it in January to make sure it had everything in order and do updates, then a second time a bit later to do the tax stuff. It appears to have successfully installed Win11 in a Virtualbox VM so perhaps I will use Turbotax until Microsoft figure out how to break the VM solution.

Moreover, specialist on this site from TurboTax in there responses to me told me users would still be able to amend 2022-2024 taxes on the downloaded turbotax that they have been using. Well that may have been what you specialist thought until today, but I just went to open my 2024 taxes on my Win10 computer and turbotax box popped up asking me to update and now it wants me to sign in to Turbotax which I have never had to do in the past. Now if the IRS wants anything apparently users are stuck dealing with Turbotax where the right hand doesn't even now what the left hand is doing. Endless frustration and based  on past experience it is only going to get worse. 

By "protection" do you mean MAX or audit support?   That add-on feature does not help you get your refund any faster.   That is not the purpose of the "protection" ---which is intended as support if you get audited after your return has been fully processed or to help you with issues related to identity theft.   WHAT IS MAX   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-product-orders/max/L0Bc4Ve2l_US_en_US?uid=m76e6cmo       To check on regular tax refund status via automated phone, call 800-829-1954.   Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.   TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.     You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr   If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refunds-take-longer-others/L14YlqFrH_US_en_US?uid=lexdr7zh . https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/irs-refund-taking-longer-21-days/L2vRAJbdU_US_en_US?uid=lexe7lst
