Part IV of the Student Info worksheet says you can't enter information there (you can, but sometimes it gets changed).  It says to use the People worksheet for the student instead - there's even a QuickZoom link to that worksheet so you don't have to scroll to the bottom of Forms to get there.  I haven't had a problem with TT changing my information after I entered Room and Board in the student's People Worksheet.  But you have to go to the Forms, which users are reporting is not possible in the Online version.  There is no interview process asking about qualified educational expenses.  There is supposedly a fix (for the desktop version?  Or online as well?) coming out tomorrow.

Instead of the icon can you launch it this way?  After it's installed, can you launch it by going to the  Windows start menu and in the presented list of programs selecting  to launch TurboTax 2025 there?   Or have you tried right-clicking on the TurboTax desktop icon and in the popup going to Properties then Compatibility and choosing "Run this program as an administrator?"

What version of TurboTax are you taking these screen captures from?  It does not match my Premier 2025, and when I say "no" to the question regarding 1099-R's, TurboTax exits the 1099-R section completely and brings me back to the full "Wages & Income" tab and list of topics. 

I have the same issue.  My summary page includes a line for Canadian Registered Pension Income.  It's zero, but seem inappropriate to have any country listed when none apply to me.  Canada is random. I tried the update button and pressed the "delete" button.  After confirming deletion, the line still exists.  I tried the advice in this thread to find the "Form" and delete it, but there is no form.  Perhaps a bug in Turbo Tax?  Maybe a future update will correct this.  If there is more I can do, please advise.  Thank you.

“On or after February 13” is not a clear or acceptable timeframe. Are you sure you actually mean on or after February 13 of the year 2026? Or 2027? Because the way you are handling this anything is possible.

It's a shot in the dark.  Many W-2 and 1099-R forms I get for the Calif EDD employer number start with "CA".  The actual EDD number is actually XXX-XXXX-X, no "CA".  So perhaps you have a similar situation there.  Otherwise, I have no idea.

Thank you for the response. I do qualify for the FEIE with foreign self-employment income.   And my rent is > $20,800.  But apparently since the rent I pay is technically not a "Housing Allowance", unfortunately there is no Housing Deduction. (Unless my income would exceed the FEIE max of ~$130k). I could be wrong, but that's how the math looks to me. 

Si, puede usar cualquier dirreccion para recibir correspondencia.  Hasta puede usar su dirreccion extranjera, pero no se lo recomendaria.  Tardaria mas en llegar y es mas probable de que se pierda el correo durante el transito.  Es mejor usar correo de USA si se puede.   Le comparto liga que da mas informacion sobre dirrecciones extranjeras y sus implicaciones; ¿Puedo realizar una presentación electrónica con una dirección en el extranjero?

I need this info to access last years 1040 to do carryover loss My filing info from last year is missing. Prior years we could just enter carryover loss and now I cannot   I assume you are talking about Online TurboTax.   Any return prepared in desktop software will not be in an Online account.   So are you logging into Online TurboTax and selecting the Tax Home tab in the left menu column, and at the Tax Home scrolling way down the Tax Home screen to the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents", and when you select tax year 2024, there is no evidence that you prepared a 2024 return in that account?   You may have multiple accounts.   You can't necessarily tell the account log-in ID from the email, since an email address for notifications can be used for more than 1 account (up to 5), but each User ID has to be unique.   How to look for multiple accounts: You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes.  A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be.  It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.   To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, etc., you can use the tool at the link below.  When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first if you can still access it.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access. NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session. https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery If still no luck after running that on your phone number you can still access and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method: Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, scroll down a bit, then choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by other parameters.

Hi Marilyn,   Thanks for the workarounds - they all make sense, except that I don't think an outcome that triggers the retirement savers credit is proper.   Let me restate my question - when it is actually going to be FIXED, so that workaround are not necessary.   Clearly TT is aware of the problem - is it on a release schedule to be addressed?   Given that the 2025 Pub 970 is not even released in final form yet, thinking there is still an IRS dependency here?   Please address the release schedule.   Thanks
