Three things to try and I think you did the first two already. This leaves just the Federal EIN option. KY EIN entry options: The original 6 digits 000 + original the 9 digit Fed EIN number on the form

Since she worked for Staten Island schools and was not a resident of NYC for part of the year, she will have to file Form 1127 with NYC.  This form can be prepared in TurboTax, but it will need to be printed and mailed in.  The form will appear on a screen "Take a look at New York credits and taxes" and it will be near the bottom of that page.   The form can also be filled out and submitted directly to NYC at NYC e-services.

Are you running as Administrator?  Have you disabled your anti-virus programs?  These are the most common fixes.  You may need to uninstall/re-install TurboTax.   Here's more info on Troubleshooting TurboTax Desktop Issues.   @User_2020 

@angela829 can you clarify what you did in 2025 that requires Form 8606 - did you make a non-deductible contribution or take a distribution or make a Roth conversion etc?  if nothing happened you are not required to file 8606 if it's just to carryover basis, see "Who Must File"   https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i8606.pdf

if the income is being distributed to the beneficiaries, there is no 8995 for the Trust. Rather, the QBI info is detailed on the k-1s and is passed through to them. The QBI deduction is calculated on their return  

 Did you maybe already use it?  Like did you efile a state return before buying the state program?  Or did you accidentally get into the Online version instead of the Desktop program you bought?   That happens a lot.  Did you download and install the program and activate it with the 16 digit License Code?  

Hi:  So sorry I did not give you the entire info on form 8606. After realizing I missed the form 8606 in 2024, I called TT rep who helped me sucessfully get that form in 2024 so I could amend the 2024 return. Then I go to 2025 to start my return with the 2024 amended return transfer for comparison.  To my surprise, the 2025 return does not have form 8606. Thus, I went to Deductions & Credits > Traditional & Roth IRA Contributions > enter LY balance for non deductible IRA. But the 2025 return still does not include form 8606. I then go to Forms to get form 8606 which only indicates LY balnce of non deductible IRA on both line 2 and 3. No data on any lines on 2025 form 8606? Wondering what I did wrong and tried to call TT rep a few times in this morning. Unfortunately, only 1 rep can see my screen after getting sharing code but she was not able to help, while other TT reps couln'd see my screen after geting the sharing codes? They only saw black screen on their side once entering the sharing codes? What a bad luck! Hope the community can help me solve the mystery on 2025 Form 8606.  Appreciate.                            

So for my business which is currently not open for business and only has startup expenses, do I have to file a schedule C this year (there is only one member)? Note that my business has a federal EIN, so is the IRS expecting me to file even during the startup phase? And if I do file, I presume I don't list my business expenses this year?
