How old were the children at the beginning of 2025? You can only claim the child care credit for a child who was under 13 at the time that the care was provided. If they were already 13 at the beginning of the year, you cannot claim the credit for any child care expenses in 2025. Check the birth dates that you entered for the children.

Since you used all of your scholarship for tuition, there should be no taxable income. The 1098-T form only needs to be entered when you're claiming credits. Those are based on tuition/fees only and room and board don't count for purposes of the credit calculation. You can remove your 1098-T form from the tax return and that will resolve the issue of the income showing that should not be reported.

Lol. This gives me an error as well. I'm also now having an issue with the new file, as it's forcing me to buy CA ... again before I can complete it. I'm wary to buy, as your return/refund page does not allow for single item charge refunds (ie, state charge of $50/state).

@MarilynG1 - Thanks for your reply. For each of my 1099-R's I choose 'entire distribution was RMD.' What else could it be? Seems an odd question. It does not say "Distribution was my entire RMD." That would be a different question, and irrelevant, since I can take whatever I want from wherever I want so long as I hit my total RMD. I'm glad you agree "workaround is perfectly acceptable" - whatever other workaround is there? Hopefully, TTax

Forms 4562 attached to Schedule E are currently being updated.
The software should be updated after 02/11/26, but our tech team is working hard to have those updates before that date.

Hello! I finished my 8th semester of college (4th year) in the spring of 2025. This was technically for a graduate program, but I was a full time student and hadn't exceded 4 years of college. For this semester, I received a $6500 scholarship that went entirely towards tuition. Additionally, I paid $2,404.16 out-of-pocket for the remaining balance of this semester on 12/6/2024. On my 1098-T, Box 1 is blank (reflecting that no payments were received for tuition), Box 5 contains $6500 (reflecting my scholarship), and boxes 8 (at least half time student) and 9 (graduate student) are checked. When entering this information into my return as is, this $6500 is reflected as income for the year. In reality, all of it was used on tuition. I was unsure if I would qualify for any credits since the payment I made was technically made in the previous tax year (2024), but I don't see why I would owe taxes on scholarship money that went entirely towards tuition. Is there a way for me to report this, or should I contact my school?

If you need to file a 2024 return, you can do that. Or you can amend your 2024 return to add a 1099 that you forgot to include last year. Which do you need to do?

A couple reasons could be…… You might be getting Form 8959 because the amount of Medicare taxes withheld in box 6 is Not exactly 1.45% of the Medicare wages in box 5. Remove any cents for the Medicare in box 6 and see if the 8959 and upgrade message goes away. If it is saying you need Schedule 3 and can't use the Free Edition it might be giving you the retirement savings credit. You can say you are a student to decline the credit. You must answer Yes when asked in the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit section if your were a full-time student. The answer to this same question asked in the personal-information section is not the answer that is used.

You don't add it. You can't claim the deduction for overtime for overtime that is paid at the straight-time rate. Qualified overtime pay for the deduction is only the "half" in time-and-a-half. For example, if your regular pay rate is $20 an hour, and you were paid $300 for 10 hours at $30 per hour (time and a half), the amount you can deduct is $100 (the extra $10 per hour for the 10 hours of overtime).
