Thank you for providing a date. My 5695 form was problematic earlier but at least I can get the credit right, but after the recent update (Desktop Mac) the form won't compute the credit for my heat pump water heater any more. I drove me nuts and I went back and forth to ensure I meet all the IRS requirements for hours. I will consider shifting to another software next year given this experience. 

An update was released today, so make sure your program is updated.  You can also do a Manual Update if you believe the calculations on your Form 5695 for an Energy Credit are not correct.   Try deleting Form 5695 and step through the interview again.  Here's more info on the Biomass Stove Credit.   @MBWaagner     

The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 03/04/2026   Forms and schedules availability website - https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product...   An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-curr...

The easiest way to correct your dependent's information is to delete it, and then reenter it.   Add/Edit/Delete Personal Information Entries: Open or continue your return. Click on My Info (or Personal Info on Desktop). Find the dependent in question and Click on the trash can icon (or the Delete button) next to your dependent's name.  Confirm that you want to remove them Click Add a dependent and start the entry over. Be sure to answer "No" when the program asks: "Did [Name] provide more than half of their own support?" 

This is what i plan to do.  You have Koinly 8949.   go into turbotax and choose the crypto.   copy the summary for the short term and long term with basis not reported or whatever directly from the koinly form into turbotax than you can click on turbotax desktop search forms and find the form.   so if you use crypto exchange 1.  you can search and find the cap asset sales sheet.   you will see it all listed just like your koinly form and it says "see attached".   I assume that you just attach the koinly 8949 statement to the return.   for me I  plan on printing it.   adding Koinly provided statement and not the 1099-da.  .   this is how far i got so far. 

Wisconsin seems to be working now. I did nothing except e-file again. The only thing, TurboTax still shows Wisconsin as rejected and wants to e-file it again, but I did get an email confirming it was accepted.

Yes I have the same issue but got emails saying ireturn was accepted.   Will wait a few days and see if the message on desktop clears.  Will also check the WI Dor website to see if return shows up there 

In 2024 (Nonresident): Since 2023 was your first year back and you only had one previous "exempt" year in your 6-year lookback (2020), you were allowed to be an Exempt Individual in 2024 to complete the six-year look back period. Since you chose to file as a resident in 2024 you lost that exempt year.    As a result, you will file a resident return in 2025.

Once your original return is accepted and the finances are settled, you can file an amended return. Since it was a short job that you forgot about, it may not have been much income. If the effect on your taxes is less than $25 in additional tax liability, you are not required to file it. You may want to for additional refund or change in credits. Save a copy of the original return before doing an amended return. If you aren't sure, you can use the Should I file an amended return? to help determine if you should file an amended tax return.
