Yes, they're going to fix it.  Not entering the 1099-Q is NOT  TT's official position.     It is a common recommendation, in this forum since so many people have problems entering it and getting the right result. 

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.

both my spouse and I receive Railroad Retirement benefits.  What would my answer be to the follow up question "Does this annuity cover more than one individual?"  She only started receiving benefits in August, 2025.

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

If you are trying to import, it may be too early. Here's how to enter a 1099-INT into TurboTax Online manually:   Open TurboTax Online and navigate to Wages & Income > Investments and Savings (1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-K, Crypto)  Choose the button Add Investments Under "Let's import", choose "Enter a different way." Choose Interest, continue Choose "Type it in myself" Enter FEIN from payer, payer's name, and amount of interest. 

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.
