My basic question is 1099-S as a general category seems incorrect vs 1099-B for stocks.  Seems it is for property and 1099-B is for stocks.    There are few post I found that support my thinking, really confused how to make sense of this, please advise   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/investments-and-rental-properties/discussion/how-do-i-write-off-worthless-stock-if-i-don-t-have-any-forms-e-g-1099/00/3563035   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/how-do-i-record-stock-loss-due-to-bankruptcy-of-a-company-so-with-a-value-which-is-now-worthless/00/513140#:~:text=This%20is%20not%20professional%20financial%20advice.%20Consulting,Enter%20December%2031%20as%20the%20date%20sold

I use the android online app of turbotax. Koinly updated the turbotax gain/loss into a zip file. Redownlpad the zip file and extract all pdfs from the zip.  Go to turbotax add investments section or the add document section on home screen and upload each pdf file from the zip individually.  If it asks you to edit, just go into each individual one and in the editing it just asks you if you purchased it orhow you acquired, whichever crypto you have.   Best of luck.

Your spouse has a family plan and thus can make the maximum family contribution to her HSA.  For her, select family coverage for every month. Unless the last month rule was used in 2024, do not answer the questions about 2024 coverage. You apparently do not have an HSA so there is no form for you to fill out.         

I am getting the same problem. What a piece of garbage this software is. I will NEVER use TT again. Manual update does nothing, and I am certainly not going to enter my information again. I will get a refund and use something else next year. Bye bye TT.

@AmyC  Thank you so much! Two more questions: if I click the medical waiver option, do I need a special tax form or approval to do so? And does it matter that my brother does not have a physical, mental, or emotional handicap for this option to apply?

if you lived apart from your spouse for the last 6 months of 2025 and you paid more than 1/2 the cost of keeping up a home for yourself and a qualifying child who lived with you for more than 1/2 the year, you can file as head of household. Otherwise, you can either file a joint return if you and your spouse agree or file married filing separately.  a qualifying child is your child, stepchild, or foster child who can be claimed as a dependent (ignoring any  of the exemption by the custodial parent - the parent with whom the child lived the greater portion of the year)

That’s the question.  The only thing anyone can go by is what is showing in the table below, which is that the Form 1040X is supposed to become available March 4.   But the update usually occurs overnight Wednesday into the wee hours of Thursday AM, so it may actually be March 5.   Rarely, a form can be released earlier than shown in the table.    No one can know for sure--only an expected date.  It's been moved back a couple of times already.   TurboTax Form Availability Tool   In the meantime, do not make any changes in your original return. Also, if you are due a Federal refund, it's recommended to wait on the refund to arrive before amending. Or if you owed taxes due, to wait until the return processes.

Go to the Deductions & Credits section, and scroll down to Medical.   You can search for medical expenses OR schedule a OR itemized deductions and use the Jump to link or scroll down the Deductions and Credits list.     If you itemize, you can deduct medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI).
