@VolvoGirl  @Mike9241  I called in to ask the TurboTax CS team for help in the afternoon. I was told to call back again and there might be “no info/issues” on my case.   Do we have some other options? Now do I have to buy a new computer for my tax filing 2024-2025? Thanks a lot.

you should not enter it as an NOL because when it's deducted in 2024 it will appear in the wrong place in your return and could very well result in an IRS inquiry   make sure you start the amended returns for these years. and yes there is no roll forward.  the way it works is that the results of an amended return only transfer to next year's original return assuming next year is started after the prior year is amended.  you are going from amended to amended so nothing that changed in the prior year is transferred...    since the loss was from a passive activity that evidently was disallowed in 2022, the proper place to enter it is on the k-1 worksheet for 2023. the amount disallowed on the 8582 for 2023 is entered on the k-1 worksheet for 2024. on the 2024 k-1 worksheet indicated that this was a final k-1 with complete disposition. you'll need to know if you have any basis left. 

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery     Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-tax-file-computer/L0XJvPaJr_US_en_US?uid=m6gufxei

Thank you for your response. It so happens we have already filed the Indian tax return for AY 2025 - 2026. We have paid tax on her government pension from US in both US and India, as it is normally handled on other investment income in US. I accidentally discovered this Article 19 - 2(a) and 2(b) and its implication on government pension very recently and asked our CA in India to examine it for a possible refund from Indian tax department before Dec 31st, 2025. Our CA in India is yet to come back to us on this.

  I HAVE TO VERIFY MY IDENTITY     Sometimes the IRS chooses returns randomly to request verification of identity and sometimes there is something on the return that triggers the request.  No matter why the IRS has required you to verify your identity, you need to follow their instructions in order to receive your refund.  If you do not verify your identity you will not get your refund.   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/security/tips-for-handling-identity-verification-requests-from-the-irs/L55RhaS2B   https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/identity-verification-for-irs-letter-recipients
