I recommend that you file the amended return if you can and mail your father's return, including you on it.  An amended return can take from 12 -18 weeks for the IRS to process.  Leave your return as it is.   Your father won't be able to Efile. Have him mail it with you included as a dependent. Whether your amended return is filed, not filed or completely processed, the IRS will identify the duplicate Social Security Number and send a letter asking for information. You can then respond to the letter,  There may be a case manager's phone number in the top right corner. (This isn't always the case). You can then resolve this with correspondence. Just ‌a note: This will not increase your chances of an audit.  

To clarify, did your wife make nondeductible contribution and therefore had a basis in the traditional IRA? Please see Who Must File 2025 Form 8606 for additional information.   To enter the QCD:   Click on "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R” Click on “Jump to 1099-R” and enter your 1099-R On the "Do any of these situations apply to you?" screen select "I transferred all or part of this money directly to charity" Enter the RMD amount for this account on the "Let's get more information about your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)" screen Continue until "How much of this distribution applied to your December 31, 2025 RMD?" screen and select "The entire distribution was an RMD"  /or select "Some of this distribution was a RMD" and enter the amount of RMD (if this distribution includes RMD for other IRA accounts then you included the amount here) Enter how much your transferred to charity    

@dstautz1  while I do not have the details of your situation ( if you could provide more details either here in this thread or PM -- just NO PII -- Personally Identifiable Information), the foreign tax credit is a Non-Refundable Credit.   Thus all it can do is to reduce your tax liability  i.e.  if your tax liability before applying the FT is US$199, then only US$199 of the available  credit will be used ( and without form 1116, the rest is lost ).  Form 1116 applies a further limit -- it is lesser of actual amount paid and that imposed  by the US using an allocation process  substantially based on ratio of Foreign source income to World income.   Does this explain your issue ?   Is there more I can do for you ?

The 1040X for Amending a 2025 return should be available by March 4th.  Make sure you save a copy of your original filed return, and that you've received your Refund or your payment for Balance Due has been processed before submitting an amendment.    There's no rush to file an Amended Return; it takes up to 12 weeks to process and won't catch up to or correct your original return; it's processed separately.   @dileshdave 

I'm using the Windows Desktop version. 1099-DIV was downloaded from Fidelity.   I shut down yesterday and reopened today.  Now the dividends are showing properly in both the form view and step-by-step view.   Thanks for your reply.

If you are going to add information to your return from documents you have downloaded, such as a Form 1099-B:   TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to the 1099-B screen under Wages & Income. TurboTax Desktop: Go to Federal Taxes. Go to Wages & Income.  If asked How do you want to enter…?, select I’ll choose what I work on. Under Investment Income, select Start or Update next to Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other. Follow the onscreen instructions. When you reach Let's import your tax info, choose how you want to enter your 1099-B: To import your form, select your brokerage or financial institution from the list. Enter your sign-in credentials for your account, then select Get my form. If you don’t want to import, select Enter a different way, and on the How do you want to add your investment docs? screen, you can upload a copy of your 1099-B. See this help article for more information.  

Georgia itemized deductions for state and local income taxes paid are still limited to the 10,000 cap, because Georgia does not automatically conform to the federal law OBBBA, as a fixed-date conformity state. As of the current time, the instructions for personal income tax in Georgia still require the filer to limit their income tax deduction to a 10,000 max.

Looks like known issue since TT 2023?   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/mortgage-interest-deductions-on-refinanced-pre-2017-loan-zeroing-out/00/3281405   When can we get this fixed?
