You are correct, Form 8615 (Kiddie Tax) should not be generating if your child's unearned income is less than $2,700.   I recommend deleting any unearned income forms (i.e. 1099-INT, 1099-DIV) that have been entered for your daughter and then re-entering them.  Revisit those sections, select the trash can icon to delete, and then enter again.   Also, if there aren't many forms to input for your daughter, you may consider clearing and starting over.  Please see: How do I clear and start over?

To get back into the return, choose to "add a state" when you log in. You won't actually be adding a state, you will just be able to get back into the normal view. Now you can get back to Tax Tools and the Print Center. In the Print Center, you can print out and save your state return.

If you sold your primary personal residence and you lived in and owned the home for at least two years in the five year period on the date of sale, you do not have to report the sale if your gains are less then the exclusion amounts of $250,000 if filing Single or $500,000 if filing Married Filing Jointly (and both lived in the home for two years). Gain or Loss = Sales Price minus Sales Expenses minus Adjusted Basis (Purchase Price plus the cost of improvements prior to the sale) Selling cost can include escrow fees, legal fees, real estate agent commissions, advertising costs, and even home staging fees. If you had a gain greater then the exclusion amounts then you would have to report the sale. Also, if you received a Form 1099-S for the sale either with a gain or a loss, the sale has to be reported. You will need the online TurboTax Premium edition to report the sale if you are using the online editions. Make sure that you indicate that you want the sale of the home reported on your tax return.   Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business) Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Less Common Income On Sale of Home (gain or loss), click the start or update button

using deluxe desktop version.  For state of WI filing, the taxes paid to another state is calculating correctly and can see all the back up calculations for it.   It then takes that amount and updates my schedule 1 form correctly.  But when I go to see the final forms for filing in PDF it is printing with no data on that form.   How do I fix this?

Thanks so much for stating the problem in such a compelling and articulate way. I am experiencing the same problem.  I have had good luck with turbotax for many years and I hate to lose the historical information, but these inconceivable and inexplicable delays are impossible.
