No. It is not a bug. When entering the information about your 1099-R, it is possible that an item was checked which may be causing these prompts.   You mentioned annuity, so if you review the "Annuity information" page, if you indicated that you received periodic payments, this may then lead to further prompts.   If your account is not an annuity, you would answer "No" to the "Peridic Payment" question.        

You can stop using one of your accounts by clearing out its information and leaving the account inactive. To do this, sign in to your TurboTax account, and follow the instructions until the section “Clear and Start Over.”   You will be able to clear and start from the very beginning if you haven’t filled out yet. This clears all tax data, making it inactive.    Click on the links provided below to learn how to clear and start over. Choose whether you are using the Online or Desktop version.    How do I clear and start over? How do I delete an account?

It depends.  Your employer may have outsourced their payroll and other HR duties to an outsourced firm.  If this is the case, then the outsourced firm issues W2's in their own name and EIN.   Key HR, LLC is an outsourced firm I have seen on this channel. It is a global outsourced firm that companies use to outsource their payroll, taxes and benefits. It is referred to as a Professional Employer Association that issues  W2's and use their own EIN.     There may be other outsourced firms that corporations use to process their payrolls and not just Key HR, LLC but I do see this often.

Not in GA. In almost every state that would be true. GA instructions for TY 25 state: Line 12a: Enter federal itemized Line 12b: enter adjustment for income taxes other than Georgia Line 12c: subtract and enter the total   There is a small catch in that federal caps the deduction at $40,000 so if yours is more, you will not get the extra deduction, it remains capped from the federaal.

It depends. If you are referring to the Credit for the Elderly or Disabled see the qualifications below as well as the definition of disability.   Guide to Schedule R Tax Credit for the Elderly or Disabled - See qualifiers below To qualify for the Tax Credit for Elderly or Disabled, you must be either at least 65 years old by the end of the tax year, or disabled, meaning you meet specific criteria like being permanently and totally disabled before retirement. If you qualify, you'll need to complete Schedule R. Part 1 starts with questions about your age and disability status. If you're disabled, you’ll verify your medical condition in Part 2. The credit calculation involves several steps, including entering a predetermined amount, adjusting for pension or annuity payments, and applying a 15% rate to the result. Once you've calculated the credit, transfer it to Schedule 3 for Form 1040, subtract it from your total tax liability, and submit the completed Schedule R with your tax return. Your spouse  must also be receiving taxable disability income for the tax year; AND with an adjusted gross income OR the total of nontaxable Social Security, pensions annuities or disability income under specific limits What Is Permanent and Total Disability? A person is permanently and totally disabled if both 1 and 2 below apply. He or she can't engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical or mental condition. A qualified physician determines that the condition has lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at least a year or can be expected to result in death.

Is the email address for your TurboTax account correct? See this TurboTax support FAQ for updating your account - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/account-updates/help/how-do-i-update-my-turbotax-account-information/01/25927?search-action-id=577145133166&search-result-uid=25927   Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.   You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".   After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.   Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.  Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.

Sometimes there is a K-1 that was transferred from a prior year.  Follow the steps at How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online? and look that there are not additional K-1s in your return.  If there are, you can delete them and you should be able to continue.

Assuming that the leasing company took your lease payments as payments towards the purchase of the car then yes, you can use the cost from the lease agreement.  If, however, there was a separate sales agreement that occurred after the lease ended then your lease payments are not counted as car payments and you would take the value from the sales agreement after the lease ended.
