Do you mean Premium?  Underneath your question it shows you are using Online TurboTax.  If you're instead using desktop Premier, we can address the steps for that.   But this is for Online Premium:   With the return open, go to the left menu column and click on TAX TOOLS, then the subtab TOOLS. In the Tools Center choose the blue button Topic Search. In the topic search line enter the phrase estimated tax payments without quotes. Make the selection in the list (it may already be highlighted), and either double-click it or click the GO button. Next screen is Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid. Expand the section Estimated Tax Payments. Choose the appropriate category and tax year you are reporting (Federal, state, local) and click START or Revisit. NOTE:  Before filing, make sure your Federal estimated tax payments correctly show on the Form 1040, Line 26, and that any state estimated tax payments (if applicable) show up on your state return.

This is still an issue for Windows version on 2/27/2026...  An you can not file electronically with values overridden.  Only if your deduction is less than $600 MFJ, you do not need to attach form 1116.

Make sure when you answer the lump sum interview questions, (Now let's look at your earlier return) make sure you enter the amount for both spouses on the earlier return (box 5 of SSA-1099M), even if only one has a lump sum payment. I ran into this exact same issue 🙂

@MonikaK1 I don't think this is an answer. Whether I select the larger "State and local income tax deduction" or "The larger deduction (Recommended),"  it still displays the smaller number. (Which in our cases was the "Sales tax deduction" number.).   Interestingly, when I finish and select "Done with deductions" and review my results, on the summary page with 2024 and 2025 Deductions & Credits, it displays the larger "State and local income tax deduction" amount in the "Itemized deductions:" list.   Doesn't this mean that TurboTax is just displaying the "Sales Tax" amount incorrectly on the "Your 2025 Deductions & Credits" entry summary page?   Thanks!

Good news (of sorts) is Amend download happened today (I want to amend my 2025 returns Fed/State that are already processed and refunds received). However, TurboTax instructions note that both Fed and State should be starting back at "0"...yet while my State shows 0, the Fed shows HUGE $$$ owed.  So what do I do now? I tried inputting the two items I had failed to report (small long term capital gain and actually a reduction in my dividends from what I reported) but still then shows a HUGE amount of tax owed that is crazy. I did NOT save this before I exited!  

Have you tried this: Add/Remove programs and remove all copies and versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable libraries.  Rerun the installation and allow the installer to reload the C++ libraries.   @rwkc44jhj49
