I am also receiving the same message as many others also have reported when trying to submit a 2024 1040-X.  There is no special situation mentioned in the message nor is there a special situation with the returns in question so some factual information from Turbo Tax would be helpful.  For example, the message states that it is closed as of last year.  Is Turbo Tax not setup to file amended returns in 2026 yet?  If so, when will they be?  

Looking at box 1 on my w2. This is concerning this tax year 2025. And I am not sure. Upon looking at my tax transcript the numbers are different than on my w2 by $900. And I’m not sure if they need to issue a corrected w2. That’s what I am asking here. Is it an issue or will it automatically be corrected by the IRS? 

Great advice. I found the 1099-R in forms. But I'm not sure how to force turbotax desktop (mac os) to walk me through the 1099-R in interview mode. Can you give instructions on how to do that? Thank you!

Patricia, Can you please comment on the resolution of the issue of TurboTax Premier 2025 of  not bringing interest income from a K-1 (box5) to  form 4952  Part II - Net Investment Income? When will that  be resolved?      Form 4952 does not pick up interest from K-1s, and includes only interest from 1099-INT.   The interest from K-1 Box 5 does get reported on Schedule B, part 1 and is included in the Schedule B total, but does not populate to form 4952.   As a result the total investment income (line 10 of form 4952) is understated and limits taking investment interest expense in the tax year. 

The amounts should match.   Are you looking at your W-2 Box 1?  Can you give us a little more information please.  What tax year is this concerning?  Why do you have a tax transcript from the IRS?  Did your (or will your) employer be issuing a corrected W-2? 

To open a 2024 tax file, you have to have the 2024 TurboTax desktop program installed on your computer.   Do you have the 2024 software installed on the pc you are trying to open the return on?    @user17708620691    If you have a PDF copy of your 2024 return, you don't need the program installed - you only need a PDF reader.   

Right.. the instructions aren't clear enough to determine that the panel replacement/upgrade HAS to be a requirement for another piece of "qualified" equipment. Neither in the software or on the IRS site.  My original read on this was that the panel was "qualified" as long as it was 200 amp... 

  TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.     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   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr   If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refunds-take-longer-others/L14YlqFrH_US_en_US?uid=lexdr7zh . https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/irs-refund-taking-longer-21-days/L2vRAJbdU_US_en_US?uid=lexe7lst         If you are getting earned income credit on line 27 or additional child tax credit on line 28 You are subject to the delay required by the PATH act.  Do not expect your refund before early March   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/federal-refunds-delayed-due-path-act/L5jnQJsBi_US_en_US   Note:  “Accepted” is not the same as “approved”.  TurboTax tells you the e-file was accepted if the IRS deems that there is enough information on the return for them to take it in for processing.   Only the IRS can approve of the refund, which is a later stage of processing.  If the IRS approves your refund they will provide a date for the refund to be issued.   FROM THE IRS WHERE’S MY REFUND SITE: https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund How it works Where's My Refund shows your refund status: Return Received – We received your return and are processing it. Refund Approved – We approved your refund and are preparing to issue it by the date shown. Refund Sent – We sent the refund to your bank or to you in the mail. It may take 5 days for it to show in your bank account or several weeks for your check to arrive in the mail.
