Your daughter could file her own return and report the interest and pay the applicable tax. You have the option to report her income on your return under certain circumstances, but it is not required. Your other option is to file an amended return for yourself in TurboTax that you can do for free.

Sometimes when the property tax paid has been doubled it is because the user entered the property taxes both in the Mortgage Interest section and the Property Taxes section. You can enter them in either section, but be sure to enter them only once.   The entry screens vary by version (e.g., Online vs. Desktop), but once you enter an amount for property tax paid, you can edit it by clicking on an a button in that section that is labeled Update or Edit or Add/Edit next to the amount you already entered. When you click the button, another screen will appear where you can revise the amount you already entered.   See this tax tips article for more information on Property Taxes.    

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:   TurboTax Online:   Sign into your online account. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.” This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us. Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.   TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:   Open your return. Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” * This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created.  Click on OK and the tax file will be sanitized and transmitted to us. Please provide the Token Number  (including the dash) that was generated in the response.   *(If using a MAC, go to the menu at the top of the screen, select Help, then, “Send Tax File to Agent”) @freshtech  @selby14  @user17699032051  @bkdonner63  @T6R1U9E   

 You can withdraw contributions you made to your Roth IRA anytime, tax- and penalty-free. Therefore, TurboTax is asking about your prior contribution before 2025 and you will enter the sum of all your Roth IRA contributions prior to 2025 minus any contributions withdrawn in prior years. Then next question will be about Conversions.

When you downloaded TurboTax, you may need to go to your Downloads folder and double-click to start the installation of the program.  Once it has installed, you'll have the TurboTax icon on your desktop.  Double-click it and you should then be asked for your License Code to activate the program.    @Chris48063     

I wasn't able to do this either until I reopened my 2024 return, updated the software, and resaved. Then I was allowed to import into 2025. Prior to this, the 2025 software could find the 2024 .tax file, but not open it. Now it can. YMMV

You won't be able to file an amendment, until your tax return is fully processed and you receive your refund or your balance due is deducted from your account.  In addition, the 1040X used to amend your tax return won't be ready for a few weeks.     You can check for Forms availability by reviewing the TurboTax article When will my individual tax forms be available in TurboTax?   For more information and instructions, review the TurboTax articles How to Correct Federal Tax Returns, How to File an Amended Tax Return with the IRS and Video: How to Amend Your Tax Return.
