Ok. I am using the Downloaded version (not the online). It does ask me for books bought from the school. It does NOT have any option to enter other educational expenses (aka, R&B, books bought elsewhere, etc.) so my 1098-Q from the 529 ends up with taxable income (due to lack of ability to enter in the software those costs). I am amazed that in the 2026 version I am not even prompted to enter other costs. Is there a update coming or can I just get a refund on the software and use something from a competitor! If I hadn't done this last year, I would have thought my taxes were correct and that I owe money.

I am using Chrome and have TT H&B and had the exact same issue. Searched for this online and got these two things which I did. I also disabled my adblocker and privacy badger extensions. I believe the second one did the trick as I did not have any issue with the window popping up so I am pretty sure it was not allowing network access as you can see the site URL was blocked when you go to that setting. Simply selecting ALLOW for that URL did the trick for me. 1. Allow Pop-ups and Redirects (Crucial) TurboTax opens a separate, secure window for you to log into your financial institution. Chrome often blocks this, causing the import to freeze or fail. Fix: When the screen says "Get forms" or "Import," look at the far right of the address bar for a pop-up blocked icon (a window with a red 'x'). Click the icon and select "Always allow pop-ups and redirects from https://turbotax.intuit.com" (or similar, like fidelity.com or vanguard.com depending on the pop-up). Alternative: Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Site Settings > Pop-ups and redirects and add https://turbotax.intuit.com to the allowed list. 2. Enable Local Network Access If you are using the TurboTax desktop version, or if the website requires connecting to a local security service to complete the authentication loop, you must enable local network access. Fix: Click the View Site Information icon (the lock symbol) to the left of the address bar. Click "Site Settings". Scroll to the bottom and find "Local network access". Change the setting to "Allow".

The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/25/2026
You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return. If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again. If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. 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.
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.
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-curr...

Ty for that answer to the other question. My dad lived in assisted living in the memory unit. He could not perform several activities for himself like, transfers, showers, incontinence, going to the bathroom, and eating. He could not live on his own at this point.
We had the following types of expenses:
(1) normal room and board
(2) facility Level 4 assistance from nurses and CNAs
(3) third party care givers to help with eating, bathroom, turning TV on / off, getting up from chairs and not falling out of the bed at nights
Would all these expenses be deductible under Schedule A, medical expenses.
As described above, nursing expenses are always deductible, if the facility gives you a breakdown (#2 in your list.)
The entire expense of assisted living can be deducted if there is a written care plan developed by a doctor or other qualified person. If there is no written care plan today, then you can only deduct past nursing expenses, even though he otherwise qualifies (the written care plan is important in the regulations). But if you get a written care plan, all of his future expenses could be deducted.

I have used TurboTax since it first came out. So I am not exactly a new user. I cannot get the black toolbar at the top of the screen to be legible. The items in the drop down menus halfway cover each other up and are always behind the working area. In addition when TT comes up I have to expand it to 200% to read it. It seems to be ignoring the Windows 11 settings for sizing. I am running windows 11 on a Lenovo laptop with no probems with other programs.

It would be best to double check with the manufacturer to be sure you have the correct code. Also, check to see if they did register with the IRS here. Qualified Manufacturer
QMID code (Qualified Manufacturer Identification Number) is a unique 4-digit code required for claiming the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (EEHC).
If you confirm all is correct, be sure your TurboTax software is updated with the latest information.

A QMID (Qualified Manufacturer Identification number) for an electric heat pump is a 4-digit code required by the IRS to claim the 2025 federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Form 5695).
You have to enter this QMID in the "Home Energy Credits" section to prevent your tax return from being rejected. QMID codes are found on your manufacturer's documentation, itemized invoices, or the IRS Energy Credits Online (ECO) portal.
A new Bosch Cold Climate Inverter Heat Pumps (such as the IDS Ultra) generally qualify for this federal tax credit whhich is 30% of the cost, up to $2,000 per year, Under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The unit must be ENERGY STAR-rated and meet specific, high-efficiency cold climate standards.
