I am entering that very number, 38.2538297, in box 10b and I am receiving "Needs Review" message. On the actual 1099G box 10 for state and box 10b for Payer TIN are both blank.    If I am entering the correct information, and everything matches online, but the form for those 2 boxes are blank, why am I getting the message? The Continue box isn't highlighted to move forward. How should I proceed?

You are correct salon workers are listed as qualified occupations who are elegible to deduct qualified tips.  In your case, to be able to claim the tips, they must have been reported to you on a Form 1099-NEC.   You need to enter your Form 1099-NEC in the Self-employment section of TurboTax, in the Wages and Income area.    After you enter your Form 1099-NEC you will be asked if any of the income reported in box 1 is from tips. When you answer "yes" you will be able to enter your tip income and will be asked some questions to see if it qualifies for a deduction. @user17701358437 

Yes, you can clear and start over, but I'm not sure what happened.   If you haven't filed your tax return, and want to start over: Log back into TurboTax Select an Item like Personal Info from the center listing Then click on Preview/Edit or Continue This will turn on the left side menu In the bottom left choose Switch Products Then select Clear and Start Over If you wish, you can share what the problem was!

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.

I have seen that.  This morning it is "`�Ѹ�".  The name is random, and onedrive flags it.  I found that you can safely delete them.  Mine are saved in Documents\TurboTax.  I had no other needed documents there, so if the same for you, you should be able to exclude from OneDrive Synch. Choose which OneDrive folders you want to sync on Windows or macOS - Microsoft Support

I reiterate what I saw here earlier: Is there something I am missing ? According to the post here: https://accountants.intuit.com/support/en-us/help-article/electronic-filing/e-file-start-[product ke...   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.

This seems almost illegal to me. What if you have your employer begin additional state withholdings during 2026? Or what if you move out of state during 2026? Would you still have to pay the 2026 quarterly estimated tax amounts to avoid penalties and fees? Or can you appeal that with the state of Maryland?

If you have filed the 2025 tax return the refund advance option is no longer available.   Otherwise see this - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/offer-details-disclosures-refund-advance-program/L4ljXp6TI_US_en_US

Are you asking whether to include the $419 supplemental information in your TurboTax entries? The answer is yes, wherever possible, you should include all your 1099 information in the input menus and questions. The supplemental information could have a taxation effect on the rest of the reported income.  Is there a more specific description of what the $419 consists of in the supplemental information section? Is there a code next to the amount? Understanding what it is helps discern where to input the info into the online software. Do you have another question about your 1099-DIV? This statement is reported and taxed differently from the items on your 1099-INT, so we'll need specifics. More guidance: TurboTax - Filing Tax Form 1099-INT: Interest Income

Any excess Social Security taxes paid will be automatically recorded by TurboTax and the excess taxes will be entered on Schedule 3 Line 11.  The amount from Schedule 3 Line 15 flows to the federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 31as a tax payment.  It will be included in the federal tax refund or it will reduce the amount of taxes owed.

This will be corrected automatically when you enter your W-2 Box 4 from both of your W-2s.    For the 2025 tax year, the maximum Social Security tax any one person should pay is $10,918.20 (6.2% of the $176,100 wage base). If the total in all your "Box 4" fields across multiple W-2s exceeds this amount, TurboTax will automatically place the difference on your tax return.   You can check this in TurboTax Online by navigating to Tax Tools on the left of your screen, choose Tools, then View Tax Summary. On the left of the screen, select Preview my 1040, and scroll to Schedule 3 Line 11 (Excess Social Security and tier 1 RRTA tax withheld).

It should be in box 14 of your W-2.  If your employer didn't report your qualified OT pay on your W-2, you will need to use the last paystub you received in 2025 and get the overtime from there.  Here are some links that will help with reporting your overtime pay:   How do I enter overtime pay in TurboTax Online? What is the new tax law for overtime pay?
