You can no longer use TurboTax Online to file for 2024. TurboTax Online is only for the current tax year, which is now 2025. To file for 2024 you have to use the desktop TurboTax software for 2024. You can purchase a download at the following link. Past Years' Products The desktop TurboTax software can only be used on a Windows or Mac computer, not on a mobile device or a Chromebook. Tax returns for past years cannot be e-filed. You will have to print your 2024 tax return, sign it, and file it by mail. When you file by mail you have to attach copies of your W-2s and any W-2G or 1099-R that has tax withheld. We suggest that you mail it by certified mail with a return receipt so that you get tracking and confirmation of delivery. Mail your federal and state tax returns in separate envelopes, because they go to different places. Follow the filing instructions that TurboTax prints.

When TurboTax asks "Did you buy every investment listed on your 1099-B" click No. Then, when you get to the screen where you enter the details of the sale, below the box that says "What type of investment did you sell?" there will be a box that says "How did you receive this investment?" Click on that box and select "I inherited it." The box for entering box 1b will then disappear. TurboTax will not allow you to You cannot enter the word "Inherited" in box 1b.  

I am having the same issue.  Last year after purchasing Turbo Tax Desktop you would go to Quickemployerforms.intuit.com to type all of your 1099s.  I have tried several times and it does not work    

These are noncovered shares.  A copy of this form is being provided to the IRS, but because box 1e is blank, the cost basis is not being reported to the IRS by the payer.  The shares received a step-up in basis, so the cost basis is the date-of-death value of the shares.  Enter "Inherited" in box 1b as the Date Acquired.

I was awarded 50% of the home sale in the divorce. So does this mean that I also will be eligible for $250k deduction for capital gains? I lived in the house for 25 years, up until the house was sold post divorce.  With that said, should I be expecting a 1099 form in the mail for my portion of the proceeds from the home sale?
