A participant in this website asks why is IT false? [IT]meaning that Intuit will not continue to support Windows 10. Here is why: quoting from Intuit: "TurboTax 2025 will not support Windows 10 because Microsoft has ended free technical support and security updates for that operating system, making it less secure for handling sensitive tax data.  As a result: TurboTax requires users to upgrade to Windows 11 to ensure better security and support."  Translation: "Microsoft will end free technical support and security updates for the Windows 10 operating system on October 14, 2025.  Because of this, TurboTax Desktop 2025 will only run on Windows 11 (64-bit). Source: Intuit Website January 25, 2026."  A popular conclusion is that Intuit failed to supoort its many former long time 40+ years users.  

I received your answer about how Schedule 1-A is automatically filed based on our birthdates, however I want to see the forms before I actually file and am unable to do so before filing and paying for this service.  How can I see the completed forms before actually filing..

I'm not sure what you mean, but a 2024 W-2 must be posted to 2024 tax return, and the 2025 W-2 must be on the 2025 tax return.     I'm not sure what refund you want to change.   Please contact us again with an additional explanation.

If your TurboTax Desktop is not moving forward, you can check for updates by clicking on "Online" in the black bar near the top of your TurboTax screen and selecting "Check for Updates".      Also try going out of the program and going back in.   Although technically the IRS is accepting e-filed amended returns for the prior two tax periods now they officially start accepting e-filed 2025 tax returns on January 26, 2026.  So if the program is still not moving forward, you may want to try again tomorrow.

Medical insurance on an auto policy is not health insurance so it is not deductible.   What do you mean health insurance does not cover auto accidents?  If you are injured in an auto accident and have health insurance your injuries would be covered by the insurance for medical care, doctors, hospitals, ambulance, medications, etc.

Volvogirl is correct.  The 6% calculation is per person, not per couple.    This would be 100% fair if the upper threshold for MFJ was $350,000 (2 x $175,000) .  But it isn’t.  It’s $250,000   So in effect, there is a marriage penalty.  I was confused at first myself.
