@james-mcdonald    Using the method you alluded to in your question, when you get to the Deductions page, it may be called "Your Tax Breaks".    There should be a button lower on that page for "Other Tax Breaks" or "Show all tax breaks" or similar words.    That makes the topics expand and opens up more Deduction topics.   But the steps I provided you above should take you directly to the correct topic to enter estimated tax payments.

Rather than having the software read the the IRS form 1099-B .pdf, consider entering summary information instead of each individual transaction.     The .pdf of the IRS form 1099-B is uploaded into TurboTax Online but not read by the software.  Follow these steps.          Down the left side of the screen, click Federal. Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income. Click the down arrow to the right of Investments and Savings. Click to the right of Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B). Click Add investments. On the Save time and connect your financial accounts screen, select Enter a different way. On the How do you want to add your docs? screen, select Type it in myself, then Continue. At the screen OK, let's start with one investment type, select Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds.  Click Continue. At the screen Which bank or brokerage is on your 1099-B, enter the information. Click Continue. Answer the questions at the screen Tell us about the sales on your 1099-B. Do these sales include any employee stock, enter No. Do you have more than three sales, enter Yes. Do these sales include any other types of investments, enter No. Did you buy every investment listed, enter Yes.  Continue. On the screen Now, choose how to enter your sales, select Sales section totals.  Select Continue. At the screen Look for your sales on your 1099-B, select Continue. You will now be able to enter the total proceeds (sales) and cost basis, along with the sales category. Refer to your IRS form 1099-B, IRS form 8949 and / or Schedule D Capital Gains and Losses for the amounts and category. When finished, select Continue. You can add additional sales totals by selecting the Add another sales total on the Review your sales section totals screen. When completed, close the record and click Continue. At the screen Now, we'll help you upload your 1099-B since the IRS requires a copy, browse and select your document.  Select Continue. When you upload your document, your filing instructions will not show that anything needs to be mailed in, and no IRS form 8453 will be generated.

sorry for a late response to this year-old thread but there's an error here that should be corrected:  the suggestion above  by @ThomasM125  to "Choose Passive income for the type of income" for a foreign pension isn't right.  Pensions are General Category income for form 1116.

TurboTax often incorrectly imports the state on a 1098-T due to auto-parsing errors where the software misinterprets the document layout, even if the zip code is correct. This occurs because the program sometimes fails to match the scanned zip code with the correct state abbreviation, requiring manual correction or deleting the form and re-entering it manually.    Since you stated that you deleted the 1098-T form and manually re-entered it, I would suggest you delete the form once more, close the program, clear your Cache and Cookies and retry.  Something appears to be 'sticking' from the original imported form.   @ashleyhawkins3 

For a Capital Loss Carryover?  The current year carryover loss from the prior year is on schedule D line 6 & 14.   On the income page The 2025 column shows the carryover to 2026 (not your current loss for 2025).   Schedule D doesn't actually show the carryover amount. To find your  Capital Loss Carryover amount  you need to look at your  return schedule D page 2.  Line 16 will be your total loss and line 21 should be a max loss of 3,000.  The difference between line 16 and 21 is the carryover loss for next year.   There is also a Carryover Worksheet showing the carryover from the prior year and the current amounts.  Then there is also the Capital Loss Carry Forward worksheet showing the amount transferring over to next year.   In the Online version you have to save your return with all the worksheet as a pdf file to your computer to see Schedule D and the Capital Loss Carry Over and Carry Forward worksheets.

In TurboTax, within the Indiana nonresident state income tax return, at the screen Days Worked in Indiana, I was able to report 0 days.   The Indiana nonresident state income tax return reported the $1,700 gambling winnings and a balance due to the Indiana Department of Revenue.   There is no provision for deducting the gambling winnings on the Indiana state income tax return.

I would select none of these apply.  That said, the only income you should report on your MA return is any gain on the sale of the house.  None of your other income is taxable by MA (unless you have MA sourced income).
