Code TY25-WI-Retirement_TT means your tax return for Wisconsin was not submitted.   The Reason is:  We're updating TurboTax for a recent change to Wisconsin's retirement income rules. The update will be available on February 13, 2026. Please log in on or after that date and resubmit your return. (Online versions update automatically.) 1. If you have no retirement income OR all of your retirement income is from qualified plans -- like a 401(k), 403(b), IRA, or government pension -- you can simply review and resubmit. Most workplace retirement plans are qualified. 2. If you have retirement income from a non-qualified plan (uncommon), go to Retirement Benefits Adjustments and follow the steps to update your amounts before resubmitting. We truly apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused.  
If paid in January 2026 they would only be reported on a 2026 tax return that is filed in 2027.

If this is the first time you have ever filed a tax return then you do not have a 2024 AGI.  Choose the answer that says you did not file a 2024 return, or try using zero as your AGI.   If neither of those tactics work, you can file by mail.   Print, sign and date your return in ink, and mail it.   When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.    
Worked perfectly. Thanks for quick and accurate response
If you are referring to the 2024 AGI and you did not file a 2024 tax return, then where asked for the 2024 AGI enter a 0 (zero).
NO.  Contribution to a 401(k) retirement account are only reported on a W-2 is box 12 with a code of D.  The contributions are not entered anywhere else on a tax return.

does this mean additional 401k contributions made by me , or does it mean what I've elected to take out of my paycheck ?
I never received any forms except from ComputerShare with the ending statement period.
