Feb 14th and no change.   2 weeks since my original post...   This is taxes not rocket science....   Are the laws changing everyday? How come other tax software and the dayum lady in Walmart do not have any issues yet the company that invented self-done tax software cannot figure this out?   Did Turbo tax have some sort of huge layoff?   I would love to know WHY the delay so I can understand and decide if I should stick with Turbo Tax next year. All the other personal tax software are capable of importing my TT form so no issue there.   TT reply with WHY, please.
Well, it's Saturday (February 14th), and no updates.  So much for the Valentine's gift 😒   CD
Good morning everyone I updated to path message today 
I'm having the exact same problem and have never had this issue using Turbo Tax Premier for many years. They also made the input screens more complex.

To determine your total deductible medical costs for 2025, you only include the expenses you paid during that year that were not reimbursed by your HSA or insurance.    Based on your numbers, you start with the $17,000 total paid in 2025 and subtract the $2,000 HSA distribution that was used specifically for those 2025 costs. The $700 distribution used for 2024 expenses is not part of this year's deduction because you cannot include expenses that are paid with tax-free HSA funds. Therefore Line 14 of your Medical Costs Worksheet is $15,000.

Well, here it is 14 Feb and the services aren't available.  What's the deal, Intuit?  We are now two months away from the tax deadline, a full 45 days into the new year.  I paid for a product, and that product objectively does not work as intended or marketed.  I guess you'll be looking at a credit card dispute pretty soon....

No, los créditos y reembolsos se distribuyen anualmente. Si usted califica para créditos de años anteriores que no recibió, tiene la opción de enmendar sus declaraciones de impuestos previas.   Además, si anteriormente poseía un ITIN, es crucial que notifique al IRS que ahora cuenta con un número de Seguro Social.

February 14th 2026 I had completed my taxes on February 11th with the file saved as I do when I'm working on my taxes. It was in my 2025 tax folder and I decided I was going to file my Federal and State taxes yesterday.  I clicked on the Turbo icon in my tray (on my Mac) and got notification that there  was an update, and then that notice disappeared.  There no progress bar showing the update taking place which was unusual..  I did a right mouse on the doc TT and saw the words Turbo Tax Updating and above that was my executable.  I ''quit'' turbo tax and tired to open by clicking on my TT file to see if that would force open the Turbo application but it did not.   I was thinking, I was going to have to download TT again from installturbotax.com but i waited. but was on "Hold'' waiting to talk to a TT representative but that was going to be a 30 minute wait.   I had restarted my Mac at some point, but that was not solving the problem.   After a period of time, probably about 1/2 hour.  I clicked TT icon in the tray again it put up a message that Updates are available - so I clicked on install and the "Install bar'' begain I think, what was going on was the TT was receiving and UPDATE and it was downloading and it was a large file update and took time.  So what appeared to seem like an application problem, was resolved by waiting a period of time. After the install files and progress bar completed, it did the install as Intuit usually does and said it was installing and reopening and it completed and the Turbo Application did Reopen and when I clicked on "File'' on the TT Menu at the top - wiht great relief it took me to my Tax return and allowed me to complete my Turbo Tax filing It was odd that TT was preforming an update without the User Interface showing the user what is going on, leaving my very concerned and annoyed, as i've never really had an application problem with TT in the past and have used TT for 25 years. I know, this is a long 'story'' but hopefully it is helpful to anyone having this issue. If on a Mac "Right Mouse click'' and see if TT is installing an update and then just give it time. This application should have provided the ""User'' (ME) an opportunity to know everything was ok but that UI screen was not there for this seemingly large update.     I hung up from my TT Phone call (still waiting) and completed my Tax filing ..

Just give FreeTaxUSA a try.   Refreshingly smooth and on top on it all, much less cost.

This is not helpful.  We were told that Feb. 13th the Form 4562 will be updated for the EasyStep which is the reason why people purchase TurboTax software in the first place.  However, the date has passed and still no update.  Very disappointed!  TurboTax used to be better than this.  Shame on you guys!

This question has nothing to do with a 401(k).  TurboTax asks this question in regard to your traditional IRAs.  If the Form 1099-R that you entered has the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box marked, the distribution is from a traditional IRA, not from a 401(k).
