I tried claiming the LLC tax credit (the only one I am able to claim) without an EIN and TurboTax isn't letting me e-file without an EIN. I get the message:  1098-T Wks (University of Galway): Filer's federal ID is invalid for Electronic Filing. You must enter a valid federal identification number.   This seems to be an issue with a value that the software expects, not a requirement that the IRS has. If it were $100 it would be one thing but for $2,000, I'd rather not leaver the money I'm eligible for on the table.

You will need to complete the EIC section where it will ask about your main home in the US.   To enter or delete the Earned Income Credit - Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home & Business) Click on Deductions & Credits Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Under You and Your Family On Earned Income Credit (EIC), click on the start or update button

TurboTax does not and cannot receive any type of tax refund, federal or state.   Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.   If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...

My refund was already accepted so will I get my refund amount and then have to file  an amended return for the correct 1099? Yes.  Wait for the tax refund to be issued and then file an amended tax return using the corrected Form 1099.   An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.   See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk  

The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/19/2026   Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

It is a special deduction for "qualified overtime compensation," specifically the extra 0.5x premium rate for overtime worked, not the full 1.5x pay.   After you have completed entry of the W-2, on the following screen check the box for Overtime and continue.    

From the responses I've seen on other posts from EXPERTS, it appears I am not the only one losing confidence in TurboTax.  I am not seeing where TurboTax is acknowledging the problem.  Responses to date are vague.   As was the case for previous years, will TurboTax be bringing back the screen to enter Education Expenses, including:   - Books and Materials (required and not required from the school), - Other books and course-related materials, - Room and Board, Computer Software and Internet Service, - Special Needs Expenses, - and Tutoring, etc.   If so, what is the timeframe?   Thank you!
