Based on your screenshot, it appears that you have short term transactions which are sales that have been held one year or less.  If you're unsure as to when you acquired the ETF shares, you could try just entering a date that is less than one year before the sale date to clear this error.  Doing so will not affect your tax situation.   To enter the date, go back to the Personal tab and Personal Income.  Select Update for Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other.  Click Review to review your crypto entries and enter a date acquired less than one year before the sale date for the short term transactions.   If you also have long term transactions that aren't pictured, the acquisition date would then be over a year before the sale date.

David, thanks for clarifying the correct amount for 2026.  Very helpful!   I typically don't write checks but rather do money link transfers into his checking account.  It is challenging for my son to get to a bank to deposit a check and I am also concerned about the mail losing the check.  My son does not leave near us.  Any other recommendations given this scenario?

Still no response from Turbo Tax and it was not fixed in in the 2/26 release.  Is anyone else having this issue?    An old asset where I took 50% depreciation has been depreciating correctly up to this year.  Now Turbo tax says there is an error because the special depreciation box is checked.  If I uncheck it, it eliminates the 50% depreciation that was already taken.  I confirmed that the 50% special depreciation was allowable when I took it, and now Turbo tax is not allowing it.  PLEASE HELP! 

It's a TurboTax glitch.  If you check the PDF/printed version, you'll probably noticed that whether or not you clicked the radio button for YES or NO on the Enabling Property, TurboTax does not check YES or NO on your actual return for that selection.  The IRS rejected it from that. 

I e-filed my return a month ago and it got pulled for manual review which I'm quite sure was because of the programming error with the zip code.  We've been trying to get this corrected for the past month. Since TurboTax has failed to correct this issue, and customer service has been of no help, I'm going forward with filing complaints.
