If you received a "Success" message but your data hasn't appeared in TurboTax, it is likely due to recent browser security updates regarding Local Network Access.   To fix this you need to allow TurboTax to securely retrieve your data through your browser settings: Locate the View Site Information icon (the "tune" or "lock" icon) on the far left of your address bar, just before the URL. Find Local Network Access in the dropdown menu. Toggle the switch to ON. Refresh the page and attempt your import again. If permissions aren't the issue, one of the following factors may be at play: Brokerage Delays: While most forms arrive by January 31, many brokerages delay Consolidated 1099s (like the 1099-B) until mid-February due to complex reporting requirements. Availability: Your brokerage must specifically "release" the import file to TurboTax. If it isn’t ready, we recommend checking back. Connection Blocks: Active VPNs or aggressive Anti-Virus software can occasionally block the import feature between your bank and TurboTax. Try disabling them temporarily or switching to a different browser. Helpful TurboTax Articles: What if I can't import my 1099? How can I fix my 1099 import issue? How do I import my 1099s?

For the Canadian Registered Pension Income, after you click the trash can icon to delete the blank entry, don't click Continue. Instead, go back to Federal Taxes and select another area in which to work. The Canadian Pension should be removed from your return.

A SEP IRA and Roth IRA aren't interchangeable for tax purposes, so this does need to be corrected, but the fix depends on how the contribution was processed by the financial institution.   First, contact the custodian and confirm how the contributions was coded. If it was processed as a Roth contribution, it can't be deducted ‌as a SEP contribution on your tax return.   If the custodian can reclassify it properly as a SEP contribution for a SEP contribution for 2024, then no amendment may  be needed. However, if it remains a Roth, you would need to amend your 2024 return to remove the SEP deduction.   The key is that your tax return must match how the contribution is reported on Form 5498.

We cannot see your screen, your return or your account.  Have you entered ALL of your 2025 information?  All your income, etc.?  Many tax documents that you need do not arrive until late January or even February, so maybe you do not have it all there yet.   There are a lot of variables that affect your refund or tax due including how much you earned, how much tax you had withheld, your filing status, the number of dependents you claim, your deductions and credits, etc.  You may have lost Earned Income Credit or the Child Tax Credit— did a child turn 17?  If you received the EIC last year, remember that changes in the amount you earn have a big effect on the amount of EIC you can get. (Sometimes earning more money means less EIC) Did you have any “side gigs” like rideshare driving or delivery driving—-with no tax withheld?   Are you 65 or older ?  If so, your standard deduction is higher. Everyone has a higher standard deduction now so it is harder to use itemized deductions.   And of course, always check your own data entries, looking for errors such as misplaced decimals or extra zeros.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refund-go-compared-last-year/L97JmhUbi_US_en_US?uid=ld9ijm41   Print out 2024  and 2025  and compare them side by side to see what is different.    https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/tax-payments/video-why-would-i-owe-federal-taxes/L3VXudPiN

Oh gee, walked into that one LOL...  IF we were speaking of those who are barely scraping by then I'd agree with your rant BUT we are not!  We are speaking about a landlord deduction.  If one has the means to buy real estate then one has the means to be fiscally responsible.  So stop the whining!     If, in your opinion, one is struggling financially then this real estate owner either has to fine turn their W4 or needs to learn fiscal accountability.  Neither of which anyone else has any control of nor is it any else's emergency.     Let's hope that 2/19 is the day.  If not, I - and every other landlord - can wait until 4/15.  Patience is a virtue, entitlement is not.     @MyCoal
