Exact same issue here.  I can't believe the system let me file at all without Form 8283 only to have it come back rejected.  This software is very expensive now that they changed which versions you can buy...and to mess this up is pretty bad.   I called a couple days ago, but the person on the phone had no idea what was going on, and just told me to try again the next day.  But I won't be submitting again when the Return still has no 8283 in it.

According to the post here: https://accountants.intuit.com/support/en-us/help-article/electronic-filing/e-file-start-[product key removed]al-returns/L4WWMC4sS_US_en_US   Tax year 2022 individual and business returns, including amended returns, won't be able to be e-filed during the shutdown and will permanently be shut off on 12/22/25 at 6:00 PM pacific to allow time for acknowledgments to be received. Tax year 2023 and 2024 individual returns will not be able to be e-filed during the shut down but will resume when individual e-file opens in January 2026. Tax year 2023 and 2024 business returns will be able to be sent to the Intuit servers but will not be forwarded to the IRS until business e-file opens in January 2026. California is the only state that can be e-filed during the IRS shutdown.

You change your filing status in the My Info section of the program.  Click on My Info on the left side of the online program screen.   Note - If you filed as Married on a 2024 return using the TurboTax online editions and in 2025 you are no longer married, then you will need to create a new account with a new User ID to file as Single
Could you have had a penalty on the state return?  Double check your 2024 state return.  And 6 vs 5 could be from rounding.

When it asked if you have an agreement with the other parent...did you say NO to that one?     You probably answered something incorrectly in MY INFO.   Go back to MY INFO, click the child’s name  and go through all of the interview questions carefully and slowly.  Read every screen top to bottom.     Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number.    Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment.  If your child was born in 2025 make sure you said he lived with you the whole year.  There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support.  Say NO to that question.   If your dependent was a full-time college student, make sure you were careful on the MY INFO screen for “Uncommon situations” and that you indicated there that they were a student.

Go back to My Info on the left side of the online program screen. Edit the dependent and carefully check your answers to the questions. Note - A child born in 2025 is deemed to have lived in your home for the entire year. Make sure you select them as your Child, that you selected that they lived in your home for the Whole Year, temporary absence for education is deemed living in your home. That they did NOT provide over one-half of their own support (You Did), that you indicated there was no one else in the household providing support to them, and that you did NOT check the box labeled Not valid for employment in the Social Security number section.   If all your answers are correct then delete them as a dependent and re-enter.

Same issue.  Return rejected due to Residential Energy Credits.  Explanation given by TT - “This return cannot be filed at this time due to a processing error that will be corrected on February 13, 2026.”   Extremely frustrating and very disappointing.

I'm itemizing deductions and married filing jointly, because of higher SALT limit itemizing is favorable for me.  Once completely done with TT entry questionnaire, I compared all values to my own calcs and found the deduction amount for state and local taxes pd didn't match - TT calculated $5 lower than me.  Sources include state withholdings from two W2s and the state tax return amount due for 2024 tax year that I pd in 2025 ($219), so only 3 values.  I have other SALT items that report on lines 5b and 5c and those are calculating fine.  The total value on 5d is around $27,000, so not over the limit. By experimentally changing them each to zero on their respective input fields I was able to determine that TT is not including the total amount of the 2024 state tax return amt due and pd in the deduction total, but the 2 W2 values are being included properly.  In doing these tests I need to force TT to still calculate with itemized deductions instead of switching to standard deduction of course.  When this state return value is the only input provided, the total deduction for line 5a calculates to $213 ($6 short).  When this state return value is included with one of the W2 withholding values, the deduction calculates $6 short.  And when this state return value is included with both W2 values the deduction calculates $5 short.  What's going on?
