Your payroll deductions for Oregon Paid Family Leave reported on Form W-2 in Box 14 don't affect your tax return.  Box 14 is informational, so you can choose the category "OR PFML' or similar.   Oregon State Tax withheld from your wages should be in Box 17, with taxable state wages in Box 16.  If you're seeing another notation in Box 14, choose the best category from the list, as this is again just informational.   Here's more info on Box 14.   @user17702613684 

I confirm that I am having the same issue as everyone else, there is no "Step 6," that screen never appears. I have been rejected twice now.   Catina, can you please talk to your tech department and find out why the customer support front line folks like yourself do not know that TurboTax has a bug preventing NY State returns from being processed?    Thank you for trying, please confirm the date we should expect the fix to be released, and when we can attempt to refile. 

If the return has already been filed and accepted, you won't be able to make any changes. you will need to wait until the IRS accepts or rejects your return.   If you haven't filed, click the link below to see the instructions to edit the information you entered.    How do I change my W-2 info in TurboTax            

I found a similar issue with the Form 5329-T.  I have 2 different 1099-R forms, but only one of the 2 was included in the "Distributions:" box as opposed to the sum of the 2 1099-Rs.  This caused the Turbo Tax software to imply that I didn't take out the RMD and, therefore, implied that I owed taxes in excess of $7k.  I tried to get in touch with someone at Turbo Tax, waited 3 hours for a 45 minute wait notice on my callback, and finally just gave up.  I then found that I could override the "Distribution:" entry with the correct entry on the actual Form and got a tax refund.  Only problem now is that Turbo Tax won't let me e-file because of the change to the form that I made.

Access your ML account. Go to the tax documents section and open the document, which is probably a PDF. The 24-character tracking ID should be on it.  If you are still having issues, contact ML for specific directions.     If there is only one number on the 1099-INT, it's probably a lot simpler to enter it manually     This is a common issue with many financial institutions. You need the document or tracking ID to import the document. However, the only way to get that number is either from the paper form they send you or by accessing the document once in your account.       

@Cam46-- You have to sign onto the 2025 online account using the same User ID that you used to create the 2024 account for the 2024 tax data to transfer to the 2025 tax return.

First, you need to log in to your marketplace account and make certain that there were no payments for insurance made on your behalf in 2025.  Once you have logged in go to the section for tax forms and see if there is a form 1095-A for 2025.  If there is then you know that that is why the system is requiring you to include it in your efile.   If there is no 1095-A there for 2025 then they are requesting that you include it in error.  You should contact the healthcare marketplace and request that they correct the error.  In the meantime, in order to file, you will need to include a form 8962 or the IRS will reject your return.  Enter the amount of "0.01" into any of the spaces on the 8962 and then file it.  The system rounds a penny down to zero but it will include a blank form in the efile which should trigger the IRS to remove the hold on your name for marketplace insurance.

If you were a full-year Virginia Resident, and the other income exclusions for military pay, state employee, age/blind don't apply to you, try deleting your state return and stepping through the interview again.  If you're using TurboTax Online, clear your Cache and Cookies first.  For TurboTax Desktop, make sure your program is updated through the ONLINE link at the top.   Here's detailed info on the Virginia Earned Income Credit.   @hirohyoto
