OK - So I am in a loop here and will be going back to TurboTax.  The Wisconsin DOR said they are getting several calls from TurboTax users that are getting rejections.  She said this is not a Wisconsin DOR issue but for sure a TurboTax issue.  She took a look at my tax ID information and did not see any tax form submissions from me that were rejected for tax year 2025 - actually didn't see any tax form submissions by me for 2025.  So these submitted tax forms (from me at least) are not even hitting the DOR website coming from TurboTax.  She also asked me to look at some fields in my tax form to see if anything looked invalid (like claiming deductions twice) and she said all looked valid.  She said that Wisconsin has made no recent tax changes as the message implies so that is a bogus message apparently. So - I am gong back to TurboTax. 

When you are in the business you'll click "add an asset".  Once you have clicked that the system will walk you through entering all of the information about the asset including the date placed in service, the original cost and the amount of prior accumulated depreciation.  All of that information should be on last year's return.  Once you have entered all of that the TurboTax system will pick up right where you left off and carry the assets forward.

Once you finish with Maryland credits, you will get to a screen "A few things before we wrap up your state taxes".  Under "Other situations"  will be "Required PDF Attachments" - click Start (or Revisit) for that category.  After you go through a few screens, you will get to one titled "Upload your required attachments(s)".  Click on Get PDF to browse for the PDF you want to attach to your Maryland return.

I am having the same issue with turbotax deluxe. The rejection email tells me to start up turbotax again and it will walk me through fixing any errors in relation to Wisconsin's retirement income. I downloaded an update today, restarted and tried again. 4 times over the course of the day and it still isn't working. I've never had this issue before. Turbotax needs to get with it and fix this issue! Turbotax won't let me file be mail as a option.  

I received a STAR payment in 2025 HOWEVER, I did not receive a notice of underpayment.  I clicked NO when the screen prompted me to and I'm not required to submit the form, but TT won't let me file my return without it being filled out.

Here is the link to the page I was looking at: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/charity-if-i-donate-to-charity-in-2025-how-can-i-get-benefit-without-itemizing/00/3696479   If I'm understanding this now, you are able to use those donations from 2025 when you file for the 2026 tax year, so save them somewhere. What I've read about 2026 and beyond is that IRS will establish a "floor," which means those donations you want to include in addition to the standard deduction will need to exceed a small percentage of your AGI before they can be deducted. This apparently was not made clear when the information was put out because so many news outlets and posters thought the actual deduction began with 2025 tax year.
