It depends. The acronym indicates it could be taxable tips. If that's the case the link below will explain how to enter the tips that may be allowed to reduce your total income. How do I enter tips in TurboTax? If you do happen to have overtime instead of tips or both, the following link will provide steps for entering your overtime. How do I enter overtime pay in TurboTax? These are both part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Tax Act (OBBBTA). @hhilley21 

You guys are just making up anything to say now. Before I used any of my other devices I got that error the first time trying to check out.  No worries,  because I am going to chat with my expert to tell her that I will ne taking my taxes elsewhere to get done.   

@MarilynG1, @user17712095505 , @user17708043672 , @Ann2023tax    FYI:  Today after spending 10 hrs trying to figure this out (over there days) and being on the phone with Intuit billing the last two days for 3hrs, I figured out my issue and maybe our issue.  FOR ME, I purchased my TT via Big Home Tax and today Intuit Billing said my licenses were cancelled.  If you Grok and Google AI about Big Home Tax they indicate it's not a valid reseller (TT billing confirmed), but Big Home Tax says they are and will help resolve the issue.  I disputed with PayPal and my CC is now going after PayPal.   I just bought a new license on Amazon, switched to the new license and guess what.  Everything works.  All this time the license went from valid to canceled and I lost the feature to open the payment window.   Not sure why TT support doesn't know this or give us a better message.  Live and learn.   To find out if this is your issue, call the Intuit billing department and ask if your license is valid if you got from a non big-box retailer or Amazon.   Good luck all.

How about paying less in taxes throughout the year so you break even at the end of the year.  This gives you more of your money throughout the whole year (and the government isn't making money off your money) so that you don't have to rely on a refund to pay bills.

It might be due to recent browser security updates regarding Local Network Access.   To fix this you need to allow TurboTax to securely retrieve your data through your browser settings: Locate the View Site Information icon (the "tune" or "lock" icon) on the far left of your address bar, just before the URL. Find Local Network Access in the dropdown menu. Toggle the switch to ON. Refresh the page and attempt your import again. If permissions aren't the issue, one of the following factors may be at play: Brokerage Delays: While most forms arrive by January 31, many brokerages delay Consolidated 1099s (like the 1099-B) until mid-February due to complex reporting requirements. Availability: Your brokerage must specifically "release" the import file to TurboTax. If it isn’t ready, we recommend checking back. Connection Blocks: Active VPNs or aggressive Anti-Virus software can occasionally block the import feature between your bank and TurboTax. Try disabling them temporarily or switching to a different browser. Helpful TurboTax Articles: What if I can't import my 1099? How can I fix my 1099 import issue? How do I import my 1099s?

You will need the 2024 desktop software, which you can obtain via this link.   TurboTax Online only supports filing current year returns and some prior year amendments.      If you started a return online last year, see How do I finish a prior-year return that I started in TurboTax Online?

Also, even if this is a bug, you should be able to uncheck the box on your spouse's info, and still file separately.  The only reason that box is needed is to make sure that customers who can't file jointly don't try to, but you already know that you will be filing separately.  As long as you select MFS as your filing status, it will not change your tax return whether or not that box is checked. 

You have a mistake on the student return. Your dependent is not allowed to claim the American Opportunity Credit. Whoever claims the student, claims the credit.  If the student return has already been filed and accepted, then the student claimed themselves and indicated they could not be claimed by anyone. If you want to claim the student, they will need to amend their tax return to allow you to file.  Your return will be rejected trying to file a person who has already filed. If they have not yet filed, please correct the personal section if you are indeed claiming the student. Once you have the personal section correct, the AOTC will not appear on the return.

jcberardo,    Once your problem is solved please what worked for you.   I think we are seeing more problems than solutions in working with TurboTax2025 Desktop Premier for Windows.  I have not been able to go past activation. Thank you.
