When you use online TurboTax, each return needs its own account and user ID.  If you use the same account and user ID for more than one person, the first return is overwritten and lost forever.   You will not be able to transfer the 2024 information for an "old" account that was overwritten.   (The term is "transfer"--not import)     You need to simply start over with a new account and new user ID for yourself now. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596 https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/  

You can find the six-digit property key number on the notice you received from the New York State Tax Department stating that your 2025-26 STAR credit advance payment was underpaid. If the credit was not underpaid, Form IT-119 is not applicable.   See the form and filing instructions for NYS Form IT-119, STAR Credit Advance Payment Reconciliation for specific details.

That is correct- the software is currently being updated and should be available after 02/13/26, but our tech team is working hard to have those updates before that date.    Here, you can sign up for an e-mail to stay current on the updates: Sign up for email notification

Edit: This took me back to where I was before. Sorry, I thought I was where I needed to be.   When I click on Edit from the Self-employed screen I don't see a page where I can add income. Instead, I see a page titled, "Your Web Design Info" which shows a list of attributes such as "Work Description", "Who did this Work", etc. I can edit them but there is no option to add income. At the bottom of this screen is one a single button labeled "Looks good". If I click that I am taken to a "Time to Add Expenses" screen.    -- Thank you  —  this is very helpful. The direct link took me to the exact spot I needed to be. I'm a little puzzled about why I couldn't get there from the Federal > Wages & Income > Self-employment income route, but I'm not concerned since I'm where I need to be. I appreciate the quick reply.

@btrutt    A question I would have for you...is exactly how did you "import" it?   1)  Was it directly from the W-2 provider? or 2) did you upload a picture or load a PDF file of that W-2? _________________________ #1 only has rare problems, mostly in the formatting of the file the provider of the W-2 creates. #2 Can have some major issues, because an A.I . must "Interpret" what it sees, and it is critical that you EDIT any form you upload using method #2 to make sure everything was entered in the proper boxes   I always recommend manual entry instead of #2.

Depende, si el ingreso de spark drive es tu único ingreso durante el año, necesitas presentar una declaración de impuestos si tus ingresos netos (ingresos menos gastos), son $400 o más.  Si es tu único ingreso y no es $400 o mas, no necesitas presentar una declaración.    Si además de el ingreso de spark drive, tuviste otros ingresos y tienes que declarar tus impuestos, entonces necesitaras agregar el ingreso de spark drive aun si es menos de $400.     ¿Tengo que presentar una declaración federal este año?   Si tienes que presentar una declaracion, el ingreso de spark drive, contara como auto empleo.  Ve el siguiente articulo de ayuda de TurboTax para mas informacion de como reportarlo.     ¿Dónde ingreso mis gastos comerciales de trabajo por cuenta propia, como el uso comercial del hogar, el millaje del vehículo y los insumos?  

To enter, edit or delete estimated taxes paid (Federal, State, Local) - Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Deductions and Credits Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid On Estimates, click on the start or update button

I have the desktop version and have the same problem.   I followed all of the prompts, and it is still trying to calculate taxes on the qualified distributions.  Doesn't even ask for the tuition expenses.  Only asks for book expenses.  Something seems wrong with the software.
