Due to 2024 TurboTax issues, which seem to persist in 2025, to avoid wrongful penalty, for each 1099-R (in your case, one), tell TurboTax that the distributed amount is the calculated required amount. @PrivateGuy 

I'm having the same problem.  Turbo Tax won't let me change form 2210 AI line 14.  When the program is calculating the annualized tax due for each of the first 3 periods, it looks like it is applying the same value for the enhanced senior deduction to all 4 periods (using the enhanced senior deduction for the last period for all 4 periods, rather than calculating what it would be based on the annualized AGI for each of the other 3 periods).  I suppose we could fudge the entered AGI values for the 1st three periods to compensate for this, but I think Turbo Tax should either calculate the enhanced senior deduction based on the annualized AGI's for the first 3 periods, or let you change line 14 as called for in the instructions.

Does that mean you want to go back to the interview to change something, but TurboTax thinks you were finished, so the interview is closed?   As long as you haven't actually mailed it or efiled, you can make any changes before filing.   To get back into the return interview, go to the TAX HOME and look for a link "Add a State."   That doesn't really add one, but opens the interview back up.   NOTE:  If you originally selected to file by mail, and as long as you didn't actually mail it, you can change that filing method to efile, if desired.

Does "get my 2023 taxes" mean you want to get a copy of a 2023 return you filed in Online TurboTax? if so, here's how:   This answer assumes your previous returns were prepared in Online TurboTax.   Any return prepared in desktop TurboTax will not be in an Online account.  Here's how one would normally find past-year online returns and how to troubleshoot for multiple accounts (User IDs) if necessary.  Many people end up with more than 1 account.  The pathway to download the PDF or tax data file depends on whether or not you have started an online 2025 return.  I provide both scenarios below, so choose which one is appropriate for your situation.   If you have not yet started a 2025 online return: Sign in to your account.   What you see next depends on whether or not you have already started a 2025 return in that account.   If your left column menu is minimal, and does not have a Tax Home tab displayed, that would imply you have not started preparing a 2025 return in that account.  If you haven't yet started a return, it will start asking you some questions.  Answer those preliminary questions on a few screens (you don't actually have to prepare a return), and then when you are far enough into the process, the left menu column will change, and you'll then see a Tax Home option in the left menu column.  Do not click the Documents tab.  Instead, click on Tax Home.  Then on the Tax Home screen, scroll way down to the bottom to "Your Tax Returns & Documents".  Expand that section and choose the past year you want.   If your past returns are not shown there, then you likely have multiple accounts and signed into the wrong one.  I'll tell you below how to troubleshoot.   If you have already started a 2025 online return: Log in, and if you've already started a 2025 return in that account, then it may already open at the Tax Home.  If not, click the Tax Home tab in the left column menu.  Do not use the Documents tab.  At the Tax Home scroll down and expand "Your Tax Returns & Documents."   If the past returns are not there, see the steps below.   If you do all that and can't find the past return, here's 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.
