After meticulously entering my donations this season, turbo tax has now deleted all that I entered twice. Why? Does this product even work?

I'm filing my taxes and I used my HSA for about $1000 in purchases in 2025. I have about $1500 in expenses I paid for out of pocket, which I do not plan on reimbursing myself through my HSA (I'm trying to use my HSA as more of a pre-tax retirement vessel). I've filled out my 1099-SA form which shows the disbursements of $1000. I'm now going through my medical expenses and Turbotax thinks $1000 of my reported $1500 of expenses were already reimbursed from my HSA which is not the case, reducing my expenses to $500. At the end of the medical expenses deduction section I'm brought to a screen that says: Confirm the amount you withdrew from your HSA/MSA We just want to make sure this money was used to pay for the medical expenses you told us about on the previous screens. If the amount is incorrect, go back to Wages & Income and edit your Form 1099-SA. Medical expenses paid with an HSA/MSA $1,000.00 This makes no sense to me. My 1099-SA is correct and has nothing to do with the $1500 in expenses I want to itemize. How can I fix this? I'm filing online so I don't have direct access to the forms on the back end. Do I pad my expenses to $2500 and let it deduct to the correct amount of $1500? That seems iffy and I don't want to gather my receipts for my HSA paid expenses.

I have attempted to connect with a Tax Expert four times today, and each time they connect me with a product specialist who cannot talk taxes with me. Why is this system even around if it cannot deliver even basic service that it claims to offer? What a waste. I feel locked into TT and losing confidence in its ability to meet my needs. Perhaps I will have to try another platform.

My MAGI is $117,000 and I have over $25,000 in rental loss. TT is currently reducing my $25,000 deduction by $8500 (50% of the amount over 100k). I was reading on a forum that if the average stay in my property is under 7 nights, i.e. this is a short-term rental, and I should be able to deduct all my loss, regardless of MAGI. Is this correct? If so, how is this accomplished?

I am a non-resident of Idaho but have paid into the Idaho permanent building fund for many years, including the last two using TurboTax. This year, I filled out the state tax questions in TurboTax and it indicates that I have NO TAX DUE. Did I miss something in the questions that somehow caused TurboTax to overlook the permanent building fund tax of $10?

Any other ideas Melinda? The phone rep says that TurboTax doesn’t know what the issue is and doesn’t know if/when it will be resolved. Do you know anything different? Thanks.

@PS56k if you've just finished 2025 on desktop why do you need online? Main difference with online is no forms mode, and it is good for 1 return only (per account, you can set up more accounts to do other returns but have to pay for each). Online is generally more expensive than desktop especially for those who need to prepare multiple returns.

Not an offset, a reduction. SE tax is self-employment tax - the Medicare and Social Security tax that w2 jobs take out when paid. Wherever you have self-employed income flowing in, that creates the tax. I know you have the Lyft on Sch C. You may have a k-1 with income earned that requires the SE tax since none was withheld.
You should be making estimated tax payments throughout the year when you have a Sch C. At least one each quarter but you can make a payment each paycheck or however you want to work it out. You don't want to owe a lot of money and have penalties added on top.

Since the IRS already has copies of all your 1099's a Summary Total is all that is required for your tax return.

Just got a chance to read through the 1116 Comp Wks. I don't know what "deductible other interest" actually means. When I view data source, it shows I am itemizing, the total on Form 1116 3d does exceed 5000. I can't quite parse that bit of the sentence about Form 1040, but I assume that's saying that 4b1a should match Schedule A, line 9. Clicking there, that is indeed 0. Following that, I get to Form 4952 where it's not showing any Investment Interest Expense Deduction. But clearing that 0 that was entered in 4b1a and setting it to null is removing the error.
