Follow these instructions from the FAQ Where do I enter my estimated tax payments?: If you made estimated or quarterly tax payments in 2025 toward your federal, state, or local taxes, enter them in the Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid section. Navigate to the estimated tax payments section: TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to estimated tax payments (< click here) under Deductions & Credits. TurboTax Desktop: Go to the Federal Taxes, then Deductions & Credits. Select Estimates and Other Taxes Paid. Select Start or Revisit next to the type of estimated tax payment you'd like to enter under Estimated Tax Payments. Enter the amount of estimated tax you paid at each of the quarterly due dates. If you paid 2025 estimated taxes in 2025, you'll enter just one amount for each state or locality. Learn more about filing an amended return using TurboTax (FAQ): What should I know before amending my return? Here are some things to know before you begin: Make sure you really need to amend. Wait until your return has been accepted (or mailed if paper-filing). Use the same TurboTax account you used to file your original return. Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. Only make changes to the areas of your return that need amending. The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due. Any changes you make to amend your federal return will automatically be transferred over to your state return. What if I haven’t finished filing my original return? If you haven't filed yet, you don't need to amend. Just continue working on your return and make whatever changes you need before filing.

There is no delay, if you can view and download your forms from LPL Account-View they can be imported into TT. I'm assuming you have an online username/password to access online LPL Account-View. When importing you must give permission to the TT third party to allow access your PC to complete the import. There is a box that appears during the import which you must respond to. Until you give permission, nothing happens. If you continue to have problems importing from LPL I suggest you contact your Account Manager for help. Good luck!

The property itself will be entered as an Asset under the Schedule E Rental Income and Expenses section of your return.     In the Property Profile section, if you checked the box that this is the first year you are renting the property (if it is), then questions about the property itself that are needed to set up the depreciation should be asked automatically.   If this is not the first year you rented the property, then go to the Assets section to enter the depreciation details for the property.  Based on the information you enter, TurboTax will calculate the depreciation amount for you.   Use the information in the following TurboTax help article to get started:   Where do I enter income and expenses from a rental property?    

I am also see this error:   "We are experiencing internet transmission problems.  Your transmissions did not go through.  Intuits Electronic Filing center did not receive your returns.  Please try again later.  Error 2"   I am using the desktop version of Turbotax premier on Windows 11.   I got this error yesterday.  I tried again many times today and I am still seeing this error.  How can I get past it?   Karen

I agree with your assertion, "It's Deductible" was one of the main reasons I have used TurboTax for well over 10 years and it will be the last time if I can find a substitute that provides a similar service. This is INTUIT's deaf ear to the needs of its customers. And on top of that, not allowing those that had made data entries to the 2025 version is unethical. To assume (we all know what ASSUME stands for) that everyone received and read their communication to remove their data or lose it is another example of their attitude that "THEY" are the CUSTOMER, not us. Keeping "It's Deductible" operable for this year's tax season wouldn't have cost that much money with a CLEAR message of its demise for future years. It was already developed; how shortsighted? If anyone finds a better alternative for the 2026 Tax Season, I appeal that you post it here. I think the REAL customers have the ability to send INTUIT packing to the Food Lines. My church would be happy to include them in our Food Pantry once they're out of jobs. It's apparent that they don't listen to or care for their customer's needs, just their own fiscal welfare.

If you received a Form 1099-NEC instead of a W-2 to report "difficulty of care" income, enter the form as follows:   Select Wages and Income from Tax Home. Under Less Common Income, select Start or Revisit next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C. Select Start or Revisit next to Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099. Select Nontaxable Medicaid waiver payments not reported on a W-2 or 1099 on the screen Types of wages you received.  Continue to the Certain nontaxable Medicaid waiver payments not reported on Form W-2 or 1099 screen. Enter the amount of Medicaid waiver payments received. If the 1099 shows zero, enter the actual amount received. Finish entering the rest of your income.   Please see this TurboTax help article for more information. Each state or agency may have different ways of reporting the income to the caregiver.   When you get to the Earned Income Credit section in Deductions & Credits, we’ll ask if you want to add your Medicaid waiver payment to your income for this credit. You can answer based on what benefits you most. However, you may need to include difficulty-of-care or Medicaid waiver payments as income on your state return. For example, Pennsylvania requires this even though the payments aren't taxed by the federal government. These steps will ensure your exempt income is reported accurately while still allowing you to e-file your return. 

It appears @AmyC was using TurboTax Desktop since she referenced 'Forms' mode. The option to view Forms is not available in TurboTax Online. TurboTax Online is easy to use and in many ways very versatile, thank you for the update.   You have access to all forms when you choose to print your return in TurboTax Online/Mobile.  However you are required to pay before printing, but do not have to file until you are ready. Can I print a copy of my return in TurboTax Online before filing? If you are using TurboTax Desktop you can switch to Forms and review all forms and worksheets.   @holemanr1
