The legal and fiduciary fees were all attributable to receiving the unclaimed property from New Jersey in 2025. The attorney had to do probate filing and I had to deal with NJ, the attorney and family to get notaries done. 

I should add to my post that I also entered info on line 12.  If I add lines 1a and 12 it equals the amount shown in the Summary column.  But the Amount Description Box still only equals Box 1a.  Is the Amount Description box amount what TT will use to compute taxes?

You will have to amend the tax return to add the W-2   The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/19/2026   You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return. If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again. If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-curr...

Overtime may be entered on your W-2 in box 14 and if it is then the TurboTax program will calculate the deduction and enter it on the Form 1040 Line 13b.   If not on the W-2 and you have the overtime listed on your last paystub, then after you complete entry of the W-2, on the following screen check the Overtime box and continue.

I am also having this issue. I get this message after attempting to e-file an amended return for 2024:   "Your transmission didn't go through We could not e-file your return for the following reason: The Intuit Electronic Filing Center is closed for the 2024 Personal Income Tax filing season. November 15, 2025 was the last day to file returns electronically."   Does this mean that I have to submit the form in paper format? My initial tax return was e-filed. 

I was having the same problem. Kept looking for Merrill Edge on the brokerage list and not finding it, so I kept using Merrill (that was on the list) trying to import my Merrill's 1099-B into 2025 TurboTax. It kept giving me error. I just tried it again but this time I unchecked all boxes that were pre-checked automatically, then I only check the one account that I needed the import for and it worked!

Thinking a little more about OP presentation, I'm not clear whether the $3500 probate/legal and $1500 fiduciary expenses described are expenses incurred in 2025 — related to the recovery and interest income received in 2025 from NJ — or are they previously unclaimed expenses carried forward from estate settlement activity years ago? If the latter (old expenses amending a 2020 1041 on the basis of 2025 income), that goes back to tax advice — I have no idea how that works.

After you returned to TurboTax after the successful import message, did you see a blue box that said "import now". You might have to scroll down to see it. If it is there, you must click on it for the import to really work. let me know if this works. 

To delete the 1095-A form:   Open or continue your return. Navigate to the 1095-A section: TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to 1095-A. TurboTax Desktop: Search for 1095-a, then select the Jump to link. Select ‌Add/Edit ‌ Click the trash can next to the 1095-A form you entered, confirm that you are deleting the form  Select Add Another and re-enter your 1095-A information  How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online?

Can you post a screenshot of where you are seeing that advice?   While you are allowed a grace period and can choose to take your first RMD in 2026, you can certainly take it in 2025, and you should report it when you take it (you will get a 1099-R for 2025 showing any withdrawals.)
