The OBBBA is making the amount of deductible business interest expense, but excluding depreciation, amortization, and depletion. Where are you finding the information of it was finalized February 11th? 

Oh, really?  When did they update?  I opened the program late this afternoon (I've done it several times today) and didn't see an update to install, so finally I just hit File after I'd entered room and board (again) on the People worksheet and then selected Print ALL forms and worksheets and previewed, had my husband check them, and saved to PDF.   Note that I only had to enter the information on the worksheet again because the past 2 days I've deleted and re-entered, then deleted all educational and even dependent information trying to get the interview questions about qualified educational expenses to come up, and they never did.

Appreciate the response, but it doesn't help my specific situation. I have now triple checked all of my entries and they are correct for each lot. I have all of the 3922 forms and have entered the info correctly to correct what is on my 1099-B.   I cannot clear this item to review so I cannot file my taxes.

yes, thanks for this answer.  It worked for me too.   I think the strange thing is the TT message that causes the problem in the first place, which is it asks permission to access your local network. Well, duh. Who is going to say yes to that?

After successful identity verification with the IRS, you can generally expect to receive your refund within 6 to 9 weeks. While the IRS officially states it can take up to 9 weeks, some taxpayers report receiving their refunds sooner, often within 2 to 4 weeks.    Track the status of your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? link.   @Toddferris 

I'm using desktop, Deluxe with State.  As others on this thread have done before me (thanks for your help), I go into 'forms' mode.  I scroll down to people wks (worksheet).  I select the one with my daughter's name.  I then scroll down to line 6 in Part IV Expenses and input her room and board expenses in the Total column.  I am able to save it and it does not disappear for me when I go back into TT.  It stays there and it seems to work, as I am not paying more tax.

I too have used TurboxTax for over 10 years; this is the first time it requires me to do a Washington state tax return; we are a NO income tax state. Your programmers goofed this up. Needs to be corrected ASAP. The recommendations to delete state form do not work.

I'm heading over to do the same thing. Should have done it a while ago, but I foolishly waited two weeks for TurboTax to release the function on Feb 13 as promised (after they had failed their original deadline of February). TurboTax is charging over $100 more than H&R for the same functionality, and I was only sticking with them because I was a 15 year customer. 

NO!!!!!   If you are someone else's dependent you can file your own tax return to seek a refund of tax withheld from boxes 2 and 17 of your W-2's but you must say in MY INFO that someone else can claim you as a dependent.   If you can be claimed as a dependent and you answer the question in My Info incorrectly, here is what happens if you e-file first:  Your Social Security number goes into the IRS system as having been used.  When your parents try to e-file, their e-file is rejected and they will find it impossible to e-file their own tax return.  Then they will have to print, sign and mail their return and wait for months for it to be processed.  You, meanwhile, will have to file an amended tax return on a special form called a 1040X, which also takes months for the IRS to process.  So make sure you know the correct answer to "Can anyone claim you as a dependent on their tax return?"
