I have submitted and was rejected 5 times now. I have deleted this form also and started over. The situation is a Turbo Tax Issue according to the IRS because when you check the box for joint ownership and shares the expenses it the IRS requires a statement to be included with the return. So the question for Turbo Tax is this .... with the desktop version are you able to attach a .PDF to the return before submitting? Also...does the online version of Turbo tax have the same issue? This is very frustrating to think that  I have been using Turbo Tax since day 1 and I spend a fortune to use this software and I cant file electronically! I am getting ready to end my relationship with Intuit and very annoyed. Any answers????????????????  

If you have an addback issue with SC1040, you might have a look also at the addback for SC state income tax to be sure it's not adding it back twice. Take a look at lines 1(a) through 1(e), you may find the state income tax added back in both lines 1(a) and also buried in line 1(e)...   k2michelin

You can't use a desktop (installed) version of TurboTax with Windows 10 no matter where you purchase it; desktop TurboTax will not work on Windows 10.   You can, however, use an online version of TurboTax.   See https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/

In TurboTax, the checkmarks on the left-hand menu usually mean that a section of your return is completed.  When you go through the review process at the end, you may have to answer some additional questions about your federal return. It doesn't necessarily indicate that there is anything wrong with your return. It's more of a visual guide.   

It is now February 17th -- Why is the depreciation schedule not available?  Can we get a refund for our non-working TurboTax software?  Should we use a competitor's product.  I am not happy and I think that I am not the only unhappy customer!   TurboTax is spending MILLIONS advertising on TV and the product doesn't work.  Shame on you!

There are a few firms missing in the import list. Acorns, for example, is missing and Merrill just got added last week. You might want to give it a week or two and see what happens. I am aware of some friends, family, and clients who have accounts at Morgan Stanley (including E*Trade) and a couple of other brokerage firms who told them their consolidated 1099s won't be available until the first week of March.

this is a bit confusing to follow what your referencing on each line back to 2023 but from what you're describing...   for 2023 you only had a non-deductible contribution.  think of backdoor roth as 2 separate transactions, the contribution to the Trad IRA can be done in March 2024 backdated to 2023, but the Roth conversion part done in 2024 would apply to your 2024 taxes.   your 2023 8606 should have only reflected the contribution and a basis carryover to 2024, no tax unless you were doing any other distributions or conversions in 2023.   your 2024 8606 line 2 should have had that carryover, plus the 2024 contribution done in Sep 2024 on line 1.  You should have had 1099-Rs totalling both the Mar and Sep Roth conversions that should have landed on line 8.   I'll pause there if that helps unravel what happened between 2023/4 and if still stuck pls post more details what you are seeing on the 8606s.   If you need to amend 2023 taxes you can only do that on desktop and print/mail the 1040X etc.  If you only need to fix the basis on 8606 or didn't file 8606 and it has no tax impact, I don't think you need to amend taxes for that if the 1040 didn't change but not sure all the rules - see comments at the end of this article about prior year 8606. https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/retirement-benefits/enter-backdoor-roth-ira-conversion/L7gGPjKVY_US_en_US   if you paid tax in 2023 that was a mistake you can still get a refund on 2023 (2022 deadline for refunds is this April).   to do an amendment for prior year in desktop it's important to save a copy of your .tax file for the original return, see guidance here (and always have backups anyway - also ensure you have PDF with all forms and worksheets as your official filing record, the .tax files can only be opened by Turbotax and they stop supporting the s/w after a few years). https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US

To clarify, did you make this election last year, since you mention "it didn't seem like an issue last year"? If this is the case, you do not need to make the election again this year and attach the IRC §6013(g) election statement.   @erictaur

I am having this same issue trying to file my 2025 taxes.  I looked at the Forms like you suggested and the amount I entered in General Income that didn't update on the screen view didn't update on the form.  Help!

No one in the user forum can see your 2024 tax return so we can only offer guesses.   Did you enter a Social Security number for the child on your 2024 return?   Did you answer correctly when it asked if the card is valid for employment?    When it asked in MY INFO if the child paid for half his own support did you say NO?   If the child was born in 2024 did you say they lived with you the whole year?   Did you enter income from working?  The refundable part of the CTC, which is called the additional child tax credit, is based on the amount you earned by working.
