How can I see my TurboTax  fees?  https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US?uid=m682vq7k   If your TurboTax fees are higher than expected, you can reduce them by removing add-ons     (BEFORE you e-file) :   Remove Premium Services Remove MAX Defend & Restore Remove a state Remove PLUS Help & Support Remove Pay With Your Refund

Yes, you can delete forms. If you are using the desktop, switch over to Forms mode. Locate the forms from the left, select delete. See How do I delete a tax form in TurboTax Desktop? If you are online, look at the menu on the left side and select tax tools, then tools.  See How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online? @hhp94001 

This has been corrected now.    If you are using desktop software you may need to do a manual update. Try clearing your Cache and Cookies and then try this link instructions.   If you are using the online software, Clear Cache and Cookies. 

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.    Sometimes—not always— the IRS corrects your mistakes, while they are processing your return.    If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X is scheduled to be available on March 4.  The date is subject to change, so check on 3-4 to see if it is ready.   Before that, do not change anything at all on your return.

I am in the same situation.  My federal e-file is rejecting due to this form.  I have reviewed Form 4136 10x over and cannot see that I missed any information.    I am using the TurboTax Desktop download. 

ACCURACY GUARANTEE   TurboTax provides do-it-yourself tax software.  TurboTax guarantees the calculations done by its software.   The information entered into that software is data entered by you, the user.   TurboTax cannot and does not check that information against any outside sources, so TT cannot know if you entered your information completely or correctly.   It is up to you to enter all of your information correctly and completely, and to check your tax return before you file it.  If you forget to enter some income, or enter it incorrectly, enter it in the wrong place, etc. then you may end up owing additional tax to the IRS and/or state.  TurboTax does not pay the additional tax you owe.   If TurboTax’s calculations were incorrect, and you owe penalties and/or interest, then TT will pay the penalties and interest.  The tax due is always owed by you, and must be paid by you.   If you need to enter a claim for the accuracy guarantee:   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/submit-claim-turb...

@Yago-NJ Go to this state of New Jersey Division of Taxation website and click on When to Make Estimated Payments - https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/njit20.shtml   The dates posted are correct for both the IRS and the state of New Jersey.

I'm not sure what your question is. First of all, understand that when the screens in TurboTax say "you" they are talking to the taxpayer, even if the taxpayer is only 3 years old. When you start a child's tax return TurboTax says "IF your parents report your income on their return...." But in your case, if I understand correctly, you are not reporting the children's income on your tax return, so they do have to file their own tax returns. It makes no difference whether they have income from working. The corollary of what TurboTax says is: IF your parents do not report your income on their return then you (the child) must file your own tax return. The parent may or may not have a choice about reporting the child's income. If the child has capital gains or losses from investment sales, there is no choice. All of the child's income must be reported on the child's own tax return. If all of the conditions for reporting the child's income on the parent's tax return are met, then the parent does have a choice. If the parent chooses to report the child's income on the parent's return, the child does not have to file a separate tax return. If the parent chooses not to report the child's income on the parent's return, then the child is required to file a separate tax return. As I said before, my recommendation is to never report the child's income on the parent's tax return. At the risk of causing more confusion, I want to point out an error on the TurboTax screen that contains the sentence you quoted. The first line of that screen says (again talking to the child) "Since you are under age 18, your parents may need to report some or all of your income on their tax return." That is absolutely not true. The parents never "need" to report the child's income on their tax return. They may or may not have the option to report the child's income, but they are never required to report the child's income on their tax return.  

And how long does it take to show up? I just entered a new question and when I hit post it took me to a generic screen showing content, but no confirmation of my post was accepted, or will show up soon. And when I go to my profile, it is not in my list of posts.    Thanks!

In FORMS mode, use 'Open Form' and type in '5695'.  When the form is displayed, click on 'Delete Form' at the bottom.  Then step through the Energy Credit section again to let it repopulate.   Make sure your program is updated through the ONLINE link at the top. There was a recent update regarding this issue.  You can also try a Manual Update.   @vkconway1     

@DoninGA wrote: No.  That tax would have to based on the value of the home and have never heard of sewer taxes based that way. Well, it's certainly possible.  The places I have lived charge for water and sewer together based on water use which is not a tax.  But it is not impossible that some other locality might charge based on property value.  Especially since some places are putting traditional tax items into a different category to get around property tax caps.   I used to live in a city where trash service was included in the property tax, because if people were left to contract with their own carrier (like in the suburbs), no one would pay and the trash would pile up.

How old was your child at the end of 2025?     WHO CAN I CLAIM AS A DEPENDENT?     You can claim a child, relative, friend, or fiancé (etc.) as a dependent on your 2025 tax return as long as they meet the following requirements: Qualifying child They're related to you. They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students). No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children. They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply). They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year. Qualifying relative They don't have to be related to you (despite the name). They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply). They made less than $5200 in 2025.    (Not counting Social Security) You provided more than half of their financial support. When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them. There may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.
