If the contribution is being treated as nondeductible, verify that the “covered by a retirement plan at work” box is marked No for both spouses in the IRA contribution section of the software. Also, confirm that your net Schedule C earnings (after the deductible half of SE tax) exceed the contribution.    Contributions to Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs)    

In my case, my 2025 AGI is above the MFJ limit for the Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit, and my 2024 AGI is below the limit. So 2025 income is in fact the reason I don’t qualify under the current year test.   That’s why I expected TurboTax Online to open the prior year AGI input and populate Form 8936 Part I line 3a, but I’m not seeing that option in the interview.   Are there specific conditions or screens in the Used Clean Vehicle section that trigger the prior year income test? @AnnetteB6

Information for your name, you will need to change that in the federal section of the return, under My Info.  To fix the rest of the information that applies to Illinois, please follow these steps carefully:   Make sure you have entered the previous year's AGI correctly Verify your PIN Make sure to enter all 8 digits (This is not your 5 digit federal PIN) Verify your drivers license or state ID number is entered correctly If it is your first year filing with your state, you will have to enter your Drivers License or state ID information Enter each field exactly as it is on your Drivers License or state ID (First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Suffix (leave blank if necessary), and weight You may not use an out-of-state or expired drivers license You may need to print and mail your return if the reject continues after re-transmitting @dvorak42 

@doobmonkey  The problem has been fixed. If you are using the TurboTax Desktop software make sure that you have updated your software. Then go back through the entire Sale of Home interview from the beginning.  

@CatinaT1 recommends this process.   Use the trashcan icon in the Canadian Pension section next to where this appears, but you don't click Continue, because it creates a new Canada RRP Worksheet. So click the trashcan and go right back to Federal Review.   Also, consider using Delete a form in TurboTax Online.  Follow these steps:   Down the left side of the screen, click on Tax Tools. Click on Tools. Click on Delete a form. Find the form listed and click Delete to the right. @DanaJW

@gksd777    And you "should" Edit that uploaded W-2 to make sure everything went in properly. There have been some disasters with the A.I. putting State income into state  withholding instead. And Box 12 and box 14 entries could get messed up too. Check EVERY box against what is on your PDF.  

Best action is to attach your log or other document showing your buys and sells with Form 8453, since you likely made summary totals on your return. Check Form 8949 on the form.   If you are e-filing your tax return, then mail your statements along with Form 8453 to:    Internal Revenue Service Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254  Receipt and Control Branch  Austin, TX 73344-0254   If you need a blank Form 8453, you can download this pdf, enter your address information and check the box for Form 8949 (this form is really just a cover sheet).  How do I mail Form 8453?    @Aminy
