This could be happening if you chose to 'visit all' in the Retirement Income section of TurboTax.   If you get the question about the Canadian pension, click the Back button instead of Continue.  Then, if you see a seemingly blank entry for Canadian pension data, click the trash can icon beside it to delete it.  Otherwise, click any other section of TurboTax to navigate away from the Retirement Income section so that an unneeded Canadian pension worksheet will not be created.   @user17713683921 

You can't cancel a pending e-filed return. However, if you have not e-filed yet, and you do not want to finish your return in TurboTax, you can simply stop, sign out, and leave it unfiled.  If you are using TurboTax Online and if you have not paid yet, or registered or filed your return, you can use the "Clear & Start Over" feature ‌by clicking on "Tax Tools" in the left panel of your TurboTax screen and then  "Tools" and then select "Clear & Start Over"  to delete your tax data.  Any unfinished returns that have not been filed are eventually purged from the system.    You can contact TurboTax Customer Service using this link: Turbo Tax Customer Service.   Click here for Can I cancel or amend a pending return?   Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.

I also have called several times and feel DUMB. They've simplified it. Instead of breaking it down by item (computer, room, board, books, pencils, etc.) it's all ONE LUMP: 1. Required books and materials from the school 2. Optional books and materials from the school We don't itemize. Just put in your grand total for the year. I think we're all waiting for the breakdown (list) and no need this year.  She said they simplified it. I said well harder for us, as we're all waiting for the list to enter our totals! 🙂 

Can you try deleting the form and re-entering the information?    To delete the form: 1. Open or continue your return. 2. Select the Jump to link in the search results to get to the summary screen (Energy Efficient Home Improvements ) 3.From here, you can select the trash can icon to delete. How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online?  

This is still broken in TurboTax, and we haven't had an update from support in over two weeks.  I tested using FreeTaxUSA, and everything is working correctly with them. If TT doesn't fix this soon, they will lose more customers

It depends on the amount and type of the charitable donation, cash or non-cash.  It is your responsibility to prove the amount of your donations. If you give cash, check or charge payments on one day to one organization of $250 or more, you must have a receipt in your hands before filing your tax return. If not, you are not entitled to the deduction.   Deduction over $5,000. You must complete Section B of Form 8283 for each item or group of similar non-cash items or which you claim a deduction of over $5,000 except as provided must file Form 8283. IRS Publication 526 As you enter your charitable donations, you will be asked to supply this information if required based on your selections. Deductions and Credits > Scroll to Charitable Donations > Select Donations to Charity in 2025

Yes, ‌Form 8915 is slated to be available on 02/18/2026.   It should be rolled out soon. If you are using the desktop version, you must run all software updates.  For online users, you may need to clear your cache and cookies.

I never lived in the house. It was not my 2nd house........only for Jan to May !  The house is "inherited" by her death and with the TODDA , transferred to me in my name. There was no personal use after her death. It was in my name from Jan to May 2025. I was only there to facilitate the estate sale, repairs, appraisal, open houses, travel expenses back/forth from Florida/Ohio, etc. The definition of inherited is key.......as it was transferred to my name.  

That was a problem caused by the broker sending two files.  There should only be one file.  Downloads of tax documents from financial institutions are not always complete and accurate and should always be checked against the actual document to verify the information.  TurboTax can't control what information the financial institution provides for a download.

  Thanks for the reply.  Are you a tax professional?  But still confused.   I will file an amendment to tax year 2024 to reflect using $3,000 of the carry over credit earned in 2023 and showing $1,500 still left for future filings.   However, since that process can take several months, how do I file tax year 2025?  Do I file without any carry over since IRS has not yet processed the amendment?  Do I file 2025 as if IRS agreed and processed the amendment to 2024?   Thanks

@Lsmitho    Folks who Upload PDFs or Pictures will see some major errors.   Either delete each form you uploaded...one-by-one, until you find the one that has the error. OR Edit each form you uploaded or imported and see if you can find the erroneous entry (or entries) _________________________ You should always "edit" every form you upload or import to check/confirm where all the numbers ended up.....and to answer critical follow-up questions.   Direct imports from providers rarely have major problems....but Upload of PDFs or Pictures of forms can have MASSIVE errors  (which is why I refuse to use PDF or Picture uploads of forms)
