Currently, TurboTax supports the manual entry of IRS Form 1099-DA. We are in the process of enhancing our CSV import and upload features to make this process more seamless. Timeline: We expect the new CSV import functionality to be available soon. Please note that this is an estimated target as we finalize the experience. Supported Documents: Once live, the import/upload feature will support both 1099-DA and DigitalAssetGainLoss files. If you are ready to file now, you can still enter your information manually. Otherwise, thank you for your patience while we get these automated tools ready for you!

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.    Sometimes—not always— the IRS corrects your mistakes, while they are processing your return.    If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X is scheduled to be available on February 26.   The date is subject to change, so check on 2-26  to see if it is ready.   Before that, do not change anything at all on your return.  

In TurboTax Online, you do not directly enter information on Schedule 1-A.   Schedule 1-A is populated automatically if you have one or more of the following deductions: Tips deduction Overtime deduction Car loan Interest deduction Enhanced Senior deduction 

You do not enter 1A.    You do not have direct access to forms with online TurboTax.   If you are entering information that goes on 1A, the deductions will appear on your Form1040 on line 13b.    These can include the senior deduction, overtime, tips, or car loan interest.

Yes I got an email from Schwab about 1099B this AM. Even though when I called them early in the week about this problem, they said all was well on their side.  Not happy about having to wait until end of month but no choice.   Also, annoyed that TT hasn't gotten the updated Depreciation forms as I'm trying to get my home sale taxes figured out ASAP.

Form 8453 is available for e-filing and printing. Print the form, sign, and attach to your return (ignore the warning message). The actual form is not sent to the IRS. Instead, TurboTax assures the IRS that you have provided the signed form when the return is e-filed.   Confirm the form is listed in the attachments before you e-file. That's all you need to do.   Note Form 8453-PE is not part of a printed/mailed tax return, it's part of an electronically transmitted return.   Here's prior year Community thread on how the 8453 is used in your return.

It sounds like the program is applying "penalty" tax on the 1099-R entered for the primary souse.    Did you enter two Forms 1099-R and if yes, was each for a different spouse or were both for the same person?  Was either distribution non-qualifying such as taken before age 59.5?

If your employer actually withheld the taxes and paid them to the state of IL, your W-2 should reflect the amount they withheld and paid to IL.  If they did not actually send the payment to IL, and they reimbursed you for the extra withholding, then the correct amount would be $0.   So, for now, you will need to go back to your employer to either get a refund of what they withheld since they are now showing $0 on your W-2C or have them send you another W2-C showing the correct amount of withholdings in box 17 and $0 for wages in box 15.  If your employer sends you the money back, then there is nothing left for you to do with IL.   If they send you a corrected W-2 then you will need to file the IL Non Resident form.  When you have a number in box 17 and no wages in box 15, it should no longer tell you that your refund is $0.

@gzt7d8 The online account cannot be deleted but the tax return information you entered can.   If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return. Click on Switch Products on the lower left side of the program screen while working on the 2025 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over

"5 days early" did not mean "get refund in five days".       "5 days early" means you are supposed to receive your federal refund from one to five days sooner than the refund date shown on the IRS refund site.   If it does not meet that "at least one day sooner" date, they are supposed to refund the $35 fee.   You have to pay attention to the date on the IRS refund site. You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds      

I have not verified this yet, but someone posted that they called in and was informed 2/27 date. So far many are waiting on the recent 2/20 update but I am reluctant to trust it until I see it, especially because someone reported 2/27. 4562 not active yet why Depreciation 4562 DELAYED Depreciation and Amortization Form 4562 DELAY Need to expedite form 4562 amortization depreciation or otherwise use another platform 

Here are several troubleshooting steps that you can try: Make sure your Windows Software is up to date. If you are using a downloaded version, uninstall and reinstall the program from your MyDownloads folder.  How do I find my TurboTax for Windows software download? If that doesn't help, try a manual update. What is a manual update? Turning off your VPN and anti-virus software during the update can help as well.
