Its December 10 and one can still not insert charitable contgributions into the desktop version. This is nuts. I understand that rules may have chnaged but simply for estimating what might need to be paid on Janauary 15 or extra witdhheld from year end wages it should be available. Also getting rid of its deductible is nuts. Why get rid of it.?

Full-Time Student
A full-time student is a student who is enrolled for the number of hours or courses that the school considers to be full-time attendance.
To qualify as a student, the person must be, during some part of each of any five calendar months of the year:
A full-time student at a school that has a regular teaching staff, course of study, and a regularly enrolled student body at the school, or
A student taking a full-time, on-farm training course given by a school described in (1), or by a state, county, or local government agency.
The five calendar months do not have to be consecutive.
This information is found in the Personal Exemptions and Dependents chapter of Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax.

It may depend on why you are asking the question; to see if you are considered a dependent or to claim a tuition credit. For the credit, a more relevant question may be "is the school an 'eligible institution''.
To be eligible for the tuition credits, the course must be taken at "an eligible institution". The school should be able to tell you if it is an eligible educational institution. In general, an eligible educational institution is an accredited college, university, vocational school, or other postsecondary educational institution, including accredited, public, nonprofit, and proprietary (privately-owned, profit-making) postsecondary institutions. Additionally, in order to be an eligible educational institution, the school must be eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the Department of Education. If they issue a 1098-T they are probably an eligible institution.
Enter your school at the link below, to see if it's on the dept. of education list.

Can you keep it for a small fee? It was a feature, now you are taking candy from the baby. Charge for the cost plus one cent, just to keep it going. You took it away and brought it back and are taking it away again. Now I'm more pissed than if you didn't bring it back. You need to explain how it is IMPOSSIBLE to bring back EVEN with charging a small fee. Add it to the app as an option and let the customer decide if its worth the fee. Back it "reward" for loyal customers after 2 years. Think of something.

It's not possible to file now, and it's way too early to even consider filing a 2025 return. With all the new tax law changes this year, the IRS has not even finalized all of the 2025 forms, and TurboTax is still programming the software for 2025 returns. There will be many software updates in the next few weeks before things become fully functional. And historically, the IRS doesn't open for efiling until close to the last week of January. Although TurboTax may allow efiling in early January, be aware that any returns filed at that early time will just sit on TurboTax servers where they cannot be retrieved if something needs to be changed or anything added. The IRS will start pulling returns in late January when it opens for 2025 filings, except for a few returns that they pull early for testing purposes.

We just have the 1 county tax (no separate school tax) that's paid twice a year. The 2nd installment for 2025 was pro-rated in escrow so that I paid for the time corresponding to my ownership (the seller paid the full amount to the county and then was reimbursed for my portion via escrow). And then the 1st 2026 installment should have been fully paid by me next year, but I needed to add in extra closing costs (or lose part of the seller concessions) so I paid it via escrow, but I'm 100% certain that amount solely corresponds to the time when I'll own the house. I'm pretty clear on what's my amount and what's theirs, I just didn't know if the seller concession affected who could claim on their taxes.

So Turbotax uses those formulas but there's no way to find out how it calculated them? That's frustrating.

Thank your for the response and a link to the article. That is of very little value. Maybe if you are on Windows 10 it's an advantage but a product should not be developed and marketed to support old technology and expect those with newer technology to jump on board. If you are going to offer a product you should have a real value differentiation to a wider market. Other wise the ROI will be minimal. The value of this product is limited to windows 10 users users.

As a long‑time TurboTax customer, I want to share feedback that could help Intuit strengthen both sales and customer loyalty. Right now, TurboTax Online is priced significantly higher than the desktop download/CD version, yet it offers fewer advantages for many users. The desktop version allows up to 5 federal e‑files plus one state program at a one‑time cost, while the online version charges per return and per state, making it far less competitive. From a customer perspective, this creates a clear value gap: Families or individuals filing multiple returns save far more with the desktop version. Online users end up paying more for essentially the same functionality, with only cloud access as a differentiator. The perception is that Online is overpriced, which discourages adoption and erodes trust. Recommendation: If Intuit wants to grow TurboTax Online usage, the pricing should be aligned with the desktop model or offer added value that justifies the premium. Competitive pricing would not only increase Online adoption but also build stronger customer loyalty by showing that Intuit values fairness and transparency. TurboTax has earned its reputation as the most trusted tax software. Aligning Online pricing with the desktop version would reinforce that trust and encourage more customers to stay within the TurboTax ecosystem. Respectfully shared in the spirit of helping TurboTax succeed.

I had made a donation on 8/29/25 and there should have been a pop up or SOMETHING to tell me what I was about to be in store for. I get a ton of crap email (I wish I had software to tell me exactly WHO sold my email address to all those stupid nonsense places that email me with garbage.). so I never saw the email in September and I never got to save my donation info for the year. I was so mad. I went to the app and got a pop up and couldn’t even access my stuff at all after 10/21 Tonight I went to the ID app. I didn’t get any pop that said it was no longer available. I was able to see every donation I made all year!! I took screen shots of all of the donations. All 25 of them. I clicked on add a donation and it worked as it always did. I THOUGHT they reinstated it. I was happy. I didn’t actually add anything though. Then I went back a few minutes later and I got the pop up message that said the app is no longer available. THAT IS SOOOOO CRAZY!! (But I’m not as mad as I was. Still mad I have to find a new way to look up all the values. I have 5 bags of stuff that’s been taking up space that needs to get donated. But I’m glad I got my screen shots. Was it a glitch or was it Devine Intervention? Idunno but I’m glad it happened!!)

Fix in what way? What are you trying to do with your 2019 state tax return? It is too late to amend a 2019 return to get a bigger refund. Or...if it was rejected --not filed -- it is too late to file it to get a refund even if a refund is shown on the form. Or is there something else?---Did you receive a letter from the state about the return?
