In my case I had to lower the amounts on boxes 1, 3, 5, and 16 from my W2 so my reported income fell below our limit for EIC. After answering the EIC questions, I went back and corrected the W2 amounts, and thankfully the US residence box was checked. I also reviewed every page on the final forms to make sure nothing else was changed after that hassle 🙄   I'd keep track of your federal and state return/owed amounts before changing any income to make sure they're still the same afterwards, since the only goal here is to check the new box on page 1 of 1040.  It's annoying, but the EIC section seems to do the trick. It (kinda) makes sense with the instructions for 1040 stating: Main home was in the U.S. If your main home (and spouse if filing a joint return) was in the U.S. for over half of 2025, check the box on the front of Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Providing this information will help the IRS determine your eligibility for certain tax benefits, including the earned income credit.

Did you ever get a 1099-R for the FERS contribution refund? I’m in a similar boat. I got a 1099-R but it only shows my taxable interest in Box 1 as the gross distribution. It makes no mention of the refund of my actual contributions. I find that confusing.

@jcollinsfred    In the Additional property taxes field...the one that won't let you edit it. ...is there already a $0 showing there  (or a $0.00)? or is it blank? _______________________ If it has a $0  (or $0.00) in it...then there is likely a "Supporting Documents" worksheet attached to the field. To access it in that case, try a double-click on the $0 to bring up that worksheet. ..............if double-click doesn't work, click on the field, then go up to the top "Edit " menu item add click on "Add Supporting Details".  from the dropdown list That should bring up the worksheet....then either use the worksheet to add your $$...or click on the big red X to delete the worksheet entirely, and the normal entry in the interview will be restored (and you won't be annoyed with it next year)

Turbotax business has this glitch and I believe they need to fix it.  New assets that are added to rental property are not being transferred to the balance sheet.   When will this be fixed?  We should be able to expect that the product works and it does not.  Tracking this issue down has cost me some serious time.

When experiencing this issue we recommend double-checking that the correct two-letter state code was entered. Zip Code Invalid for Efiling.    If this doesn't resolve the issue can you try deleting an re-entering the information? And as a last resort, uploading the 1098 into the system?   How to delete a form   Let us know if you are still having issues after these steps.
