Form 4562 is ready; however, the work on that section of TurboTax is still in process. It is expected to be completed and made available later this week with the end of week updates. Check back after Friday, 2/20/2026.

@richlux The Schedule 1-A has been available in TurboTax for two months or longer.  You need to make sure you have the latest software update.  Click on Online at the top of the desktop program screen.  Click on Check for Updates. If you show as being updated and still have this issue, then use a manual update if you are using a Windows based computer.  See this for a manual update - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/update-products/manually-update-turbotax-windows-software-basic/L3Wf9OPaf_US_en_US   Or, save the tax return, close the TurboTax program.  Close and re-start your computer.

When you sell shares acquired through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) at a gain, a portion of that gain is taxed as ordinary income.  If you are still employed by that company they will add the ordinary income portion to your W-2.  Your Form 1099-B should have an adjusted cost basis.  In addition, you will need to enter information from Form 3922 which you should have received from your employer or broker.  For additional information, see the following TurboTax Help Article:  How do I find and enter the cost basis for my RSU or ESPP sale?

@Baskaran3212    IF you don't want to wait until you go thru the actual filing process....   It's there in my test Online account. 1) The "Tools" menu selection only allows saving of the .tax2025 datafile.  That datafile will require the desktop software to open and look at. 2)  The Print Center selection lets you save a couple different PDF options...either with the various  background worksheets, OR just the bare-bones filing copy....but you do have to pay the software fees first. _________________________________________

First, be aware that the work on this section of TurboTax is continuing and expected to be completed with an update coming after Thursday night (2/19).  The best time to check for a change will be Friday (2/20).   If you are using the desktop version of TurboTax Deluxe, go to the Wages and Income > Rental Properties and Royalties section of your return and Edit your property.  Then go to the Assets/Depreciation section to enter the details for your capital improvement to your property.  

Can you please tell us what the distribution was used for?  IRS publications do state that if the distribution was used for education expenses, or if the account was properly rolled over, you should not report the 1099-Q, you should not enter it into the program.    It is true that the Education Section in TurboTax, specifically the 1099-Q section, has changed since last season. If the distribution is not taxable, the program seems to not want it entered.   

If you don't withhold or pay enough tax on income received during each quarter. Even if you paid your tax bill in full by the deadline or are getting a refund, you may still get an underpayment penalty.   @diamondlight 

If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over with a lower priced edition. Click on Switch Products on the lower left side of the program screen while working on the 2025 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over

Try deleting the Form 1099-R and re-enter it.  There is no good explanation for why you did not get that follow-up question.  In my test case, it was the second screen after finishing the entry of the Form 1099-R itself.   To delete the Form 1099-R, go back to that section of your return and click the trash can icon beside the one you want to delete.

Can you clarify your situation? Have you filed your tax return? If so, was it accepted or rejected? If not filed, what do you need to do? What mistakes do you have and what has to be corrected?

Thank you. Is the schedule C interview in the wages section or the expenses section? I remember in the expenses section it having a miscellaneous section similar to what you mentioned, but it said it was only for W-2 expenses. Unless this is in the wages section and I somehow missed it. I tried to click through everything looking for it.
