@MelindaS1 thanks for providing information about the status for Oklahoma filers. There is a similar thread for Idaho filers at https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/salt-deduction-error/00/3745484 that was started two weeks ago.  Even though two customers provided our protected returns and information from the Idaho state form instructions, there has been no updated information from TurboTax for two weeks. Has TurboTax recognized this error for Idaho returns? Is it being corrected and is there an ETA for completion? In the meantime, is there a way for me to file my federal return now and my Idaho return later?

If you purchased a new 2025 car in 2025 you may be able to deduct the interest on the car loan.   CAR LOAN INTEREST Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Cars and Other Things You Own>Car Loan Interest The amount will go on Schedule 1a and end up on Form 1040 on line 13b    

@garyi wrote: I have submitted and was rejected 5 times now. I have deleted this form also and started over. The situation is a Turbo Tax Issue according to the IRS because when you check the box for joint ownership and shares the expenses it the IRS requires a statement to be included with the return. So the question for Turbo Tax is this .... with the desktop version are you able to attach a .PDF to the return before submitting? Also...does the online version of Turbo tax have the same issue? This is very frustrating to think that  I have been using Turbo Tax since day 1 and I spend a fortune to use this software and I cant file electronically! I am getting ready to end my relationship with Intuit and very annoyed. Any answers????????????????   Turbotax has made a blanket decision not to allow PDF attachments.  (I think there are reasonable arguments on both sides, and I have no role in the company and no way to change anything.)  If you share ownership and expenses with someone who is not your spouse and you do not want to use the workaround below, you will need to file by mail to include your explanation. 

The amount of interest you have exceeds the amount that can be entered using the Free Edition, so it is upgrading you to Deluxe which is a paid version.   You cannot enter more than $1500 of interest with Free Edition.   Or—-Use this IRS site for other ways to file for free.  There are 8  free software versions available from the IRS Free File site   https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/

Form 3115 is used to enter an adjustment amount to bring the amount you entered as depreciation up to the amount that should have been entered. Since you are going to adjust the amount entered to the correct amount, you need to start with the amount entered so it can be adjusted with Form 3115.
