Schwab docs are ready.  I received a message from TurboTax that they received my files after going through the import process.  But files do not show in my TT return.  It worked last year.  Not sure what to do.  Where did my files go????  Is this a security concern???

The online options to use TurboTax for a business returns for an Scorps, C-corps, or multi-member partnership are to use Expert Assist or Full Service.  There is no "do it yourself" option online for TurboTax Business.   If you want to use do it yourself TT Business you need the download on a Windows PC.

Thank very much for the token number. I've escalated this to take a further look into this matter. I can't promise a resolution date but we will work to resolve this as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your patience.   @datarmd 

Thank you, but this doesn't really answer my question. I also have some OT to deduct, and your reply fits perfectly for that, but tips are not addressed. My issue is that my tip income is nearly 2 1/2 times that of my hourly wages, and to add tips into the OT would create obvious problems. The on-line version allows for separate reporting of tips---I am looking for the same approach in the desktop version

As of Feb 2026, this issue still exists.   I am trying to amend my 2024 returns, I see the "Amend my return" button online when I login, but teh button does nothing when clicked.    Is downloading the desktop version (for Mac in my case) the only solution here? If I do that, will there be any consideation when I file 2025 tax returns later?

Yes, you should amend your 2024 return.  A SEP Roth is not tax deductible while a SEP IRA is and the change to your tax return could be dramatic.  You should remove the SEP IRA claim from the return and then enter the actual amount that you contributed to the SEP Roth.  That will square you up to start 2025.
