@blk994    Does box 2a on the 1099-R have a $$ value somewhat smaller than box 1? (but not empty nor marked "Undetermined")

If your spouse passed away in 2025 you can file your tax return as Married Filing Jointly.  If you and your spouse are age 65 or older, then you both are eligible for the additional senior deduction.   If you are age 65 or older and meet the requirement, the additional deduction is automatically added on your federal tax return.   Standard deductions for 2025 Single - $15.750 add $2,000 if age 65 or older Married Filing Separately - $15,750 add $1,600 if age 65 or older Married Filing Jointly - $31,500 add $1,600 for each spouse age 65 or older Head of Household - $23,625 add $2,000 if age 65 or older   New Bonus Standard Deduction (OBBB): An additional $6,000 deduction for taxpayers 65 and older. This is per eligible individual, meaning a married couple both over 65 could get $12,000. Important: This bonus deduction is temporary, lasting from 2025 through 2028. Income limitations: It phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers. The amount is calculated on Schedule 1-A, Part V, with that amount flowing to Form 1040 Line 13b Look at your Form 1040 - You can view your Form 1040 plus Schedules 1, 2 and 3 at any time using the online editions.

We live in NC and my daughter (an NC resident) is going to school in SC.  She made a small amount of money ($5K) in SC working at the school and they withheld about $90 in State taxes, and no Federal withholding.  Her total AGI is only ~$6k. Other income is from int and div.  No other income or deductions.  Do I have to file in NC and SC along with Fed just to get back the $90 SC state withholding?  By the time I buy the extra state in TT and pay for electronic filing for all of them, it will cost more than the $90 refund.  Can I just not file any taxes at all for her? Also, she is part of our ACA subsidy so I think I have to show her $6K AGI as part of our MAGI when we file.  Is that the case even if I decide not to file any taxes for her?

The 5498 tells you the amount you need to take out for the RMD.   Don’t know if it has the 12/31 balance on it.   You need to look at your December 31 account statements which you should have received by now or you can look at your account online.

misleading prompt by Turbotax - presumably this is for 1099-R / Form 8606 - use your year-end statements per IRS Form 8606 line 6 instructions:   https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i8606.pdf   Enter the total value of all your traditional IRAs as of December 31, 2025, plus any outstanding rollovers. A statement should be sent to you by January 31, 2026, showing the value of each IRA on December 31, 2025.
@pamebay    You'll probably have to interact with Customer Support (not sure if they have weekend hours yet) How do I contact TurboTax?

If you have filed the 2025 tax return the bank information cannot be changed.  If the the account number is incorrect the bank will refuse the deposit and return the tax refund to the IRS.  The IRS will then mail a refund check to the address on the tax return.   If you have not filed the 2025 tax return, then go the File section of the program.  Click on Start or Revisit for Step 2.  You can change the bank information in that section.

And why should I have to lower or decrease security? Shouldn't Intuit be designing software that works with higher level of security?    As a paying customer, I cannot accept this answer as a valid answer.   Or is Intuit saying that medium or low security is good enough and if a ransomware attack or a virus or something cripples my system, leaks my data to the dark web, etc. Intuit will be responsible for the millions of dollars of damage that can occur?    It's one thing to disable antivirus during installation and re-enable it afterwards. With Windows Security settings, you can't do that. If I enable them now, after installing TurboTax 2025, I do not know if TurboTax 2025 will work or not. What would happen when an update needs to be installed? I can't revert these Windows Security settings back to default without full reformat. Reformatting is a lot of work.   And even if TurboTax 2025 runs and updates without issues with higher level of Windows Security settings, what will happen next year when I try to install TurboTax 2026 while . Will I run into the same problem?   So, again, unlike disabling antivirus during installation and re-enabling it afterwards Windows Security settings cannot be changed every time you install or run TurboTax and Intuit needs to figure out a solution that fixes this issue. I have many other applications from hundreds of different vendors. Not a single one of them have this issue. TurboTax is the only one.
we have the same issue, called and spoke to a TT rep. who had us walk through all the screens multiple times and could not find any screen to capture this information.
