Another Support rep told another TurboTax user to go ahead and enter the data on the 1099 manually, which is sorta NOT acceptable if you have a myriad of trades,

Your contributions to the TSP are on the W-2 that you received from your employer.  They are shown in box 12 with a code of D for traditional TSP contributions.  Or a code of AA for contributions to a Roth TSP. Those amounts are not entered anywhere else on a tax return.  Delete what you have entered elsewhere on the return.

Error code 606 means you are entering an invalid license code. Did you purchase Desktop Software or Online Software? There is a difference between a License Code (for Desktop) and an Activation Code (for Online). You are trying to enter a Code for TurboTax Online in a Desktop software (or vice-versa).    Look on your box from Staples and it will distinguish between TurboTax Online and TurboTax Desktop. They are not the same software, and codes from one cannot be used in the other.     If your box is for TurboTax Online, you can activate your code to your account on this link.   If your box is for TurboTax Desktop, you can download/install your software from this link.

Importing forms is convenient but sometimes results in more work. TurboTax cannot control what information is imported, so if the source populates fields with zeroes when none are required, you will see "Needs Review" to prompt you to confirm the information is correct. You always have the option to skip the import (or delete what has been imported) and enter all information manually.

Amen to this paragraph, @baldietax!

This article will help you download any data you had in ItsDeductible (if used previously or during the year before it was shut down in October).   There will be a new tool that will help calculate the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the donated items. However, no information on when it is going to be available yet.

Does the IRS form 1095-A require you to file IRS form 8962 Premium Tax Credit?  This form requires TurboTax Online Deluxe or Premium.  See the comparison of TurboTax versions at at the bottom of the screen here.   However, In TurboTax Online, you may be able to Switch Products or Clear and Start Over.    Switch Products or Clear and Start Over may be found in the lower left hand corner of the screen if it is available to you.   See also this TurboTax Help.    As long as you:   have not submitted payment,  deducted the TurboTax fee from your refund, or  registered your product,  you may erase your return and start from scratch in TurboTax Online. If you have done any of these things, you will need to manually edit your return.   The Free product may be found here.      

This is how I finally settled this using TurboTax deluxe desktop edition. I followed MinhT1’s instructions and then as a final step, I entered the check amount into ‘Other Reportable Income.’ I labeled it as a New York inflation refund check.   Then I followed MonikaK1’s to ‘Other Reportable Income.’ I then went to the ‘Enter Any Other Subtractions’ page. Near the bottom, I put the subtraction amount into the ‘Taxable refunds (not included in line 4 of IT-201/IT-203)’ box.

Totally unacceptable!   Everyone involved in development and management should be addressing this issue with Merrill and any other firms missing from the import dropdown list. This is NOT some minor issue.

@CMD6T The Form 1099-R section was finalized and available using the online editions on 01/21/2026 The Form 1099-R section was finalized and available using the desktop editions on 01/22/2026   If you are using the online editions, clear cache and cookies on your web browser or change your web browser to either Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.   If you are using the desktop editions, update your software to the latest release.  Click on Online at the top of the desktop program then click on Check for Updates.

Have you tried to resubmit? Many states returns are processed by going through the Federal first. If your Federal has already been accepted, your Federal is not being filed again (and can't be). Try refiling and you shouldn't have issues.
