I am using TurboTax Premier. I have ten countries which withheld taxes on dividends. I am trying to get the tax credit. I am having trouble filling out the questionnaire. 1) At the page titled "Where Did You Receive Dividend Income From?", it states to select all countries to which I have paid taxes. I then select all ten countries and click "continue". 2) At the page titled "Income from Foreign Countries" it lists the ten countries. I select the first country and click "report income". 3) At the page titled "Report Foreign Tax Paid to <country>" I select the appropriate 1099s and click "continue". 4) At the page titled "Foreign-Source Income" I enter the correct amount and click "continue". 5) At the page titled "Reporting Foreign Taxes Paid" it states "You have completed reporting all copies of Form 1099-DIV to a country". "Do you want to review your entries?" "Note: If you answer 'yes' then you must repeat the process and report all copies of 1099-DIV again". If I click on "no" it goes to a page titled "Simplified Limitation Election for AMT". The page states "We've reported your interest, dividends, and Schedule K-1 from each country." It goes on to state other things but it acts as if I am complete when I have only filled out one country. If I click on "yes" it goes back to the page titled "Where Did You Receive Dividend Income From"? All the countries that I entered previously are gone except the first country which I have reported income. I enter the second country (again), click "continue" and go to the page titled "Income from Foreign Countries". I select the second country and click "Report Income". I go to the page titled "Report Foreign Tax Paid to <country>" I select the appropriate 1099s and click "continue". I go to the page titled "Foreign-Source Income" I enter the correct amount and click "continue". I go to the page titled "Reporting Foreign Taxes Paid" it states "You have completed reporting all copies of Form 1099-DIV to a country". "Do you want to review your entries?" "Note: If you answer 'yes' then you must repeat the process and report all copies of 1099-DIV again". I click on "yes". I go back to the page titled "Where Did You Receive Dividend Income From"? The first country that I entered previously is gone and only the second country which I have reported income is left. So no matter whether I enter "yes" or "no" in Step 5 above the program doesn't work. Has anyone been successful with this?

It depends. If you don't see overtime on your W-2 in box 14, or if your employer did not provide a statement with your overtime amount, you can use your pay stubs or a document you maintained for your tip income. Be sure to keep this document in your tax file should you need it later.
The rules for qualifying overtime will be provided in the link below.

You do not need to get a form in the mail to submit, you just have to include this form in your return. Your return was rejected because the e-File database indicates the taxpayer must file Form 8862 to claim Earned Income Credit after disallowance.
You will need to go back to your return and add this form.
Open your return :
TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to the Form 8862 screen under Deductions & Credits
TurboTax Desktop: Search for Form 8862 and select the Jump to link or,
Go to Federal Taxes.
Go to Deductions & Credits.
If asked, How do you want to enter...?, select I'll choose what I work on.
Under You and Your Family, select Start or Update next to Earned Income Credit (EIC).
You'll come to the Earned Income Credit section. Select Continue.
Answer the questions. When you get to, Do any of these uncommon situations apply? check the box that says, I got a notice from the IRS saying that Form 8862 is required for the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Select Continue and then Done.
On the Since you got an IRS notice, we need to check on a few things screen, select No, none of these apply and I need to fill out the 8862 form.
Select Continue.
Answer the remaining questions.

DID YOU E-FILE?
Did you e-file? Did you go through all three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”
When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax. The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted or rejected your federal e-file. If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.
Check your e-file status:
https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/
What does it say in your account? Does it show that the return was accepted? Or does it say something else---like "rejected," "printed," or "ready to mail?”
If you discover or realize that your e-file was rejected, or just never filed, you will need to print it, sign and date it in ink, and file it by mail now, since e-filing is closed for returns for tax year 2024.
If it was accepted:
You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

There's a glitch with the system, IDK why thy aren't just posting that!! I called It's not anything we can do on our end. It is technically available, it's just not showing it. So when you enter the information and then go back to the main page, it shows not started. But it is. It's complete. As long as all the data saves you should be good. That was what happened to me anyway. I would call they even escalated me to a manager without me having to ask. They were really nice about it.

See this help article for the steps to enter the overtime deduction. After you finish entering your W-2, TurboTax will ask you a few questions about your overtime. Based on your answers, TurboTax will automatically determine if they qualify and calculate your deduction.
For the 2025 tax year, your employer might report your qualified overtime compensation for the year in Box 14 of your W-2 form. You could also receive a separate statement reporting your overtime pay for the year (including if you’re self-employed). If that’s the case, you can rely on the reported amount to calculate the overtime deduction.
If your employer doesn’t use Box 14, or a separate statement reporting your overtime pay isn’t provided, you can use other records – such as earnings statements, pay stubs, invoices, or similar documents – to determine the amount of qualified overtime compensation you received in 2025 (keep those records with your other tax documents).
Also remember that you can only deduct the “overtime premium” portion of your total overtime pay – that is, the “half” portion of the “time-and-a-half” overtime pay required by the FLSA. As a result, if the total of all wages for overtime hours – the overtime premium, plus regular wages – is reported on a separate statement, you have to split out the overtime premium yourself.
The phrase “no tax on overtime” is used to describe a new tax deduction for qualified overtime compensation. This overtime deduction was enacted by the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (also known as the Working Families Tax Cut), which was signed into law on July 4, 2025. However, the deduction is temporary – it only applies for the 2025 through 2028 tax years.
Eligible workers can deduct up to $12,500 of overtime pay earned during the year (up to $25,000 for married couples filing a joint return). But if your income is more than a certain amount, the deduction is gradually phased out – potentially to $0.
You can deduct overtime pay on your federal income tax return only if you:
are covered by and not exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which is the federal law that requires overtime pay for certain workers
have a Social Security number that’s valid for employment and issued before the due date of your return (including extensions)
don’t use the Married Filing Separately filing status
