TurboTax doesn't "categorize" the information imported from financial institutions. If what imported from your Wells Fargo is different than what is on the hard copy of your Form it's because that's what was sent. I recommend you delete the import and enter your Form 1099-Consolidated manually.

I would report in the cost basis. See this IRS FAQ. A8. Your basis (also known as your “cost basis”) is the amount you spent to acquire the virtual currency, including fees, commissions and other acquisition costs in U.S. dollars. Your adjusted basis is your basis increased by certain expenditures and decreased by certain deductions or credits in U.S. dollars. For more information on basis, see Publication 551, Basis of Assets. @Max3721

This is so frustrating. It was supposed to be on 2/11 and now says 2/18. It's 4pm MST with the run round again. How is anyone supposed to get their taxes done without getting penalized? I am beyond upset with this. I have never had these types of issues. Nobody at turbo tax will help and the IRS says it has nothing to do with them because th form was updated in Dec 2025.

It depends on whether this is a capital loss carryover or if this is a net operating loss (NOL) carryover.
A capital loss carryover is used against other capital gains each year with an overall limit of $3,000 loss allowed per year for each year there continues to be an overall loss.
A NOL is an overall income loss, in other words your taxable income for the year if a negative amount. A NOL cannot be carried back, only forward. A new Form has been created for use in determining the allowed loss.
Individuals, estates, and trusts use Form 172 to figure the amount of the NOL that is available for carrying back or forward.
NOL carryback eliminated.
Generally, you can only carry NOLs arising in tax years after 2020 to a later year. An exception applies to certain farming losses, which may be carried back 2 years. See section 172(b) and Pub. 225, Farmer’s Tax Guide.
When a net operating loss (NOL) is initially entered into TurboTax Online or TurboTax Desktop it will be incorporate that into the current tax return once you have completed the NOL worksheet(s). It will also know if any of the NOL was used on your tax return. What TurboTax will not do is to calculate an NOL.
To enter the NOL into your tax return in the carryover year use the steps below:
Open your return > Search (upper right) > Type net operating loss > Click the Jump to... link
Continue to follow the screen prompts to enter your carryover NOL

Form 1098-Q reports details about a Qualified Longevity Annuity Contract (QLAC). You don’t need to enter this form into TurboTax since it isn’t a taxable event and there’s no entry screen for it in the software. Hold on to this form for your records.
The IRS receives a copy of this form to know that the premium amount (up to certain limits) should be excluded from your required minimum distribution (RMD) calculations.

What exactly does "erroring out" mean? If you are getting an error message, what is the complete exact message? Are you getting the error when you enter the W-2G information, or in Smart Check, or at some other point?
Are you saying that the W-2G has no entries anywhere except the reportable winnings in box 1? If that's true, did you leave all the other boxes empty in TurboTax? In TurboTax did you select a state in box 13 or enter a payer's state ID? If so, delete those. Leave boxes 13 through 18 empty in TurboTax, and do not enter a state ID number.
Are you using TurboTax Online or the TurboTax Desktop software?

Hello, I am an international student, and I got into the USA in Dec 2020, and I haven't left since then. In the past, I filed my taxes with Sprintax as a nonresident alien, but this year I qualify to file as a resident alien. However, my school issues me a Form 1042-S with scholarship and fellowship payment and federal and state taxes withheld. I am using TurboTax and I found a website that explains how to for 1042-S manually on Turbotax here: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/how-to-report-1042-s/00/3319522 The step-by-step process is: Open your return in TurboTax Click on Wages & Income Scroll down to All Income Scroll down to Less Common Income Scroll down to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C Click Start Scroll down to Other reportable income Answer yes and record this as 1042-S income and then the amount Now to report the tax withheld: With your return open Click on Deductions & Credits Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid Click on Other Income Taxes Scroll down to Other Income Taxes Click on Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099 The problem I am facing is that, I have followed these steps and but in the State and Federal taxes withheld under (Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099) but I noticed that after I am done with federal tax and I move to the state tax section, there is another section called "Other Income Taxed by Indiana" asking me to put information about other income. Should I put the income from my 1042-S here again? I noticed that when I enter that income, it significantly reduces my state return, in fact, I have to pay the state. There is also no place to enter the state tax withheld in this section. What should I do?

All counties should have an EIN number.
I'm not clear what you mean by Box b.
If you are unclear about entering the EIN for your 1099-R, look for a nine-digit number near the name and address of the Payer on the 1099-R. It may be listed as a Federal Identification Number or Payer's ID.

Yes, you probably qualify as a full time student for 2025. But, as others have said, it probably doesn't matter.
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish by being an independent tax filing fulltime student and not be claimed as a dependent on your parent's return.
Basically, there is nothing to gain.
With the 2018 tax law change, most students will get the same refund whether they claim themselves or not. The personal exemption has been eliminated and the standard deduction increased.
However, you only qualify for an education credit, if you are not a dependent. But, there's a new urban myth among college students that says they can get a $1000 from the government just for filing a tax form. For most of them, they simply aren't eligible. A full time unmarried student, under age 24, even if you don't qualify as a dependent, is only eligible for the refundable portion of the American Opportunity Credit if he supports himself by working. You cannot be supporting yourself on parental support, 529 plans or student loans & grants. It is usually best if the parent claims that credit.
