it's only "Free" if you qualify for that version, sounds like your situation added some form(s) only supported by the Deluxe version.   https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/free-edition.jsp#seeIfYouQualify   or you may have added some services you can review fees and remove stuff here - avoid the refund processing gimmicks like Pay With My Refund ($40 fee) or "Up To 5 Days Early Refund Delivery" etc - I don't think they are worth additional fees   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/reduce-fees/L3Kp3yEYs_US_en_US   you can only print the full return once you've paid for the service.  but you can review your 1040 and Schedule 1/2/3 online anytime.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/preview-turbotax-online-return-filing/L77WCkvnu_US_en_US   if the way they price it doesn't work for you then you can explore other options to file for free or lower cost like FreeTaxUSA, see   https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/browse-all-offers/

Form 1040-X is available in all versions of TurboTax. First wait to see if your return was accepted or rejected. Accepted: An amended return must be completed to make the corrections. Rejected:  Make the change before you resubmit your return through e-file. If it was accepted you can amend your tax return using the information below. The amended Form 1040-X will be ready later this month. The IRS is not willing to accept amendments until later in the tax season. Uses the links below for assistance and readiness.

Since you only sold one item at a gain, this is a capital asset sale.   Navigate to: Income > Investments and Savings > Ticketmaster Personal item sales (1099-K) > Review. Now fill out the information, which will include the date you bought and sold the tickets to determine if the gain is short term or long term, the cost, and proceeds.  The expenses of the sale are entered on the screen Let us know if any of these situations apply to this sale that appears after the basic entry described was completed.  

@JulieYTu    WHICH tax form????   If it's a W-2, and you don't pay any local/city income taxes...then make boxes 18, 19, 20 totally blank. no numbers, no letters, no zero's....just blank.   Same thing for boxes 17, 18, 19 on a 1099-R form...blank

I found this older community thread that seems to be the same problem -  https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/ma-state-tax-due-calculation-in-tt-as-part-year-resident-is-not-accurate/00/2533671/message-id/118549 

This explanation FAQ could also be helpful to lead you to the questions. It's important to read each screen to make the proper selections. How do I enter qualified charitable distributions? @nittanylion 

If the percentage of time that the home office is used for your business is not captured as you go through the questions for the home office, then the end result could be that the office is disallowed.   Go back through your Schedule C home office section to be sure that question was not missed.  Then, if the problem persists, you can use the following steps if you are using a desktop version of TurboTax:   Click Forms in the upper right corner. Look for Form 8829 on the left side of the screen under Schedule C and highlight this form.   Scroll down the page to the section titled Line 8 Calculation Smart Worksheet.  It will have a box around it. Type 100 in the box on line B.  If you did not use your home office 100% of the time for your business, but you also performed work in other locations, then enter the appropriate percentage of time for your situation. This will then calculate the home office deduction.

I uninstalled and reinstalled TurboTax and started my taxes over. With all the current updates as of today, TurboTax no longer "requires" upgrading to Premier to handle 1099-B.   But this breach of trust, adding to the frustration of Intuit DISCONTINUING ITSDEDUCTIBLE (AGAIN!), means that after 30 years as a loyal customer I'm f***ing done with TurboTax. I'm using something else next year.

When I helped my brother file his last week...there is an initial page you have to accept that lets TTX file for you....but the subsequent several pages acceptances, and one for letting TTX/Intuit use your data for various purposes, and incessant prompts for add-ons (for extra fees) can all be skipped.  We skipped all but the first one.   Filed in the morning.  Fed and state (GA) accepted by evening.

@scherejona    Just as you would for any other Charity. After entering the DAF name, you indicate what you actually contributed to the DOAV   IF it was Money, you select that. If it was shares of stock or Mutual funds, you indicate "Items" then the next page you can indicate it was stock. __________________ For stock/Mutual Fund donations, you probably get a form 8283 from the DAF.  The software will fill one out for you as you answer the various follow-up questions.   Just keep the DAF form 8283 that you received...in your tax folder for 2025 in case any questions crop up from the IRS anytime in the next few years.   Remember that any future donations you advise to be made OUT of the DAF .....you can not claim those as charity donations, since you already claimed the donation to the DAF.  

Tried clearing cookies and cache for the browser; then a fresh login. Since that didn't fix the issue, I tried using a different browser on a different computer that had never accessed Intuit or TurboTax, but still get the watermarks, so the answer given was a good try, but incorrect. I will wait a few days and try again on a 3rd computer and different browser. If the amount is correct even with the watermark still in place, I don't really need the payment coupons as I have the IRS do a direct debit.

There is not a line number on the Illinois state tax return for Illinois adjusted gross income.   Line 4 reports Total Income. Line 9 reports Illinois Base Income. Line 11 reports Illinois Net Income.     For reference, here is a link to the 2024 Illinois Form IL-1040.  

@ejchien wrote: TurboTax, please also attach me to the incident for this form; I am also waiting to resubmit Hey @ejchien , I would not recommend relying on TT reading your request above.  Instead, I'd suggest logging into TT, click Help, get them to call you, and then ask to be notified when fixed.  I'll also be sure to update this post as well once I have any updates myself.
