The net capital gains tax rate of 0% only applies if your net long-term gains exceed your net short-term losses. This means you had to have held the assets for over a year before selling to qualify for the 0% rate. If you had net positive gains on assets that you held for less then a year, then that would be a net short-term capital gain, which is taxed at your ordinary income tax rate.

@fac1012 Sometimes, you might have some empty 1099-INT or -DIV forms that carried over from last year's taxes. Importing the forms this year, may not use those empty forms...thus the later prompts to enter something on a form that "seems" to be repeating....but is in fact a separate form, so you just doubled-up your entries. If I'm going to import certain forms from my brokerage, I usually delete any empty forms that carried over from the prior year first (Though, I sometimes use the carried-over forms to estimate my tax situation before the brokerage has them ready for import....but then delete whatever forms I used for estimates, before I import the real ones)

I bought this Desktop version of Home & Business since Nov-2025, and feel like begging for every form or waiting for updates. This is so frustrating, many folks already began getting refund on other platforms. I used TaxAct for years and switched to TurboTax this time to prepare ahead with Desktop-version, but it seems like I might have made mistake by switching to Turbo now. At least knowing, it is not "only me problem/installation" for 4562 on Desktop version is relief.

For Form 5695, in the "Residential Clean Energy Credit" (Part 1) section, I have made solar/battery upgrades for two homes this year. In the IRS instructions, it states the following: "If you made improvements to more than one home, list the complete address of the home with the greatest total cost in the section above Line 1. Then, attach a statement listing the additional addresses to Form 5695." In the Windows desktop version of Turbo Tax Deluxe that I am using, it only allows me to specify one address for this "Part 1" section. (Note, while it likely allows me to specify multiple addresses for the Part 2 "Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit" section, that's not applicable to me). Further, I can't find any way to attach a statement to Form 5695 as the IRS suggests I need to do. Since there are likely quite a few people in this situation this year, could you simply add a question allowing us to specify some additional addresses and then auto-generate the statement needing to be attached to Form 5695? I saw in another post that in certain areas, you can auto-generate those statements. In the absence of this solution I'm requesting, what can I do? Thanks

I had same experience. TurboTax tech support laid a goose egg and left me high and dry. I tried every solution (reinstall, shut off firewall and antivirus, cleared browsing history...hours wasted. I found the solution on a websearch....do into control panel, click uninstall a program. Then click on the last version of Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64) and click "Repair." Program immediately worked. No thanks to tech support.

I'm having an issue where, Turbotax says I did not qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit, but as soon as I try to file, it tells me I have to upgrade because I am earning it. The Credit is showing up as $0, yet I'm being forced to upgrade. How can this be avoided?

I entered my TSP distribution as required but do not see a question asking if it was rolled over to a traditional IRA. TT only asks if it was rolled over to a Roth. I understand that it Wouk be taxed if it was rolled over to a Roth but how will the rollover to traditional IRA show on my return? I did not have a taxable amount in 2a. Just wondering it the rollover will get flagged?

Yep, but the issue is the same with H&R Block. Go ahead and switch, I couldn't care less for one, but don't expect the "other guys" to provide a panacea.
