The state program was downloaded and after answering a question or two it stated that filing the NH return is not required and that NH does not support e-filing for a business form (I think it was the TB form or something like that). NH does not have any income taxes other than business and certain interest/dividends which does not apply in my situation. In any case, I was attempting to file the federal return only and was not filing a NH return.

The OBBBA has introduced a new deduction for car loan interest paid for new cars you bought for personal use between 2025 and 2028.   The deduction is up to $10,000 if your income is under $100,000 (or $200,000 if MFJ). The deduction is gradually phased for higher incomes.   For the requirements of this deduction, please read this TurboTax Help article.   In TurboTax Online, you can enter your car loan deduction by following these steps: Open your tax return Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Deductions & Credits Navigate to the list of Deductions and Credits Click on Other Deductible expenses Locate the section Cars and Other Things You Own and click on the arrow on the right Click Start next to Car Loan Interest  Follow the TurboTax questionnaire to enter your car loan interest The deduction will transfer to Schedule 1-A of your form 1040, which is then transferred together with other deductions such as the additional senior deduction, to line 13b of your form 1040.

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.   Have you entered income from working in 2025?  If not,  you will not receive an income tax refund based on having dependent children.     The maximum amount of the child tax credit is now $2200 per child; the refundable “additional child tax credit” amount is $1700.   In order to get that credit, you have to have income from working.   Take the amount you earned from working.   Subtract $2500.   Multiply the rest by 15%.  That is the additional child tax credit per child that you canget—- up to the maximum of $1700 per child.   If the amount you earned from working was low, you will not get the full $1700 per child.    If your child is older than 16 at the end of 2025, you do not get the CTC.  But you may still get the non-refundable $500 credit for other dependents instead.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/taxation/child-tax-credit/L2lNhfGDl_US_en_US?uid=m68dfq2u   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/taxation/additional-child-tax-credit/L6xFeMFEf_US_en_US?uid=lqnuygah https://www.irs.gov/help/ita/does-my-childdependent-qualify-for-the-child-tax-credit-or-the-credit-for-other-dependents     And for the Earned Income Credit—-   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-credits-deductions/qualifications-earned-income-credit-eic-eitc/L7w4BFP32_US_en_US?uid=m62rmz09   https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/use-the-eitc-assistant   https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p596.pdf   Look at your 2025 Form 1040 to see the child-related credits you received   PREVIEW 1040 https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/preview-turbotax-online-return-filing/L77WCkvnu_US_en_US?uid=m681fkhr   Child Tax Credit line 19 Credit for Other Dependents line 19 Earned Income Credit line 27 Additional Child Tax Credit line 28

Yes. In order to contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA), you must be covered by a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).    The question in TurboTax is asking what type health insurance coverage you had with your employer-sponsored plan. Based on the information in your question, you would answer that as Family coverage.   See this TurboTax article for more information on HSAs.          

The team has identified that you are getting that message because a state form is required and was not included in your return and they are still looking into it.  You can try to file the federal only for now and file your state later.   @neilfj  @danimee6 @sfowler

It looks like you are posting from online software.   If you are using online, you only get one return per fee.  Each return needs its own account and user ID.   It is only with desktop download that you get five federal e-files for the purchase fee.     When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.   Each return needs its own account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596 https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/
