generally you can just enter summary level gain/loss, all the transaction level detail is not needed.  But if you have any sales with adjustments (wash sales, AMD, noncovered category etc) those are best entered as a separate 1099B in Turbotax using "one by one" with the details to go on Form 8949, and then enter the rest of the 1099B as summary entries, and check the totals on Schedule D.  If you don't have too many of these adjustments then entering these details avoids an extra mailing to IRS - you can also just make adjustments to summary entries but will need to mail the details (from your 1099B) to the IRS on Form 8453 (or if you have TT online you can upload a PDF to satisfy this).   See:   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/form-1099-b/need-include-1099-b-return/L0ygGdIiE_US_en_US   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/need-mail-form-8453-u-individual-income-tax-irs-e/L5gK5lbax_US_en_US  

This has been really aggravating with this process I have never had any issues with my taxes, first time filing Turbo and last my thing is it should not take this long to process a check. It’s been two weeks and I still haven’t received my money this is some bs.

Workers' compensation  received  for an injury like a broken leg is generally not taxable at the federal or state level. Compensation for physical injury/sickness is generally tax-free.   Because of this, it is not usually reported in Box 3 of a Form 1099-MISC and it should not be included in your gross income on your tax return.   If this is the case, it appears your Form 1099-MISC was issued incorrectly and you should contact the issuer of the form to get a corrected one.  If they confirm that this is the case, you likely will not have to report this on your tax return. But you should get a corrected form so the IRS knows it was not taxable.   If you are unable to file by April 15 because of this issue, you can request an extension to file your tax return at that time.   To apply for an extension in your TurboTax program you can do the following: Click on the search icon in the upper right of your TurboTax screen Type "extend" in your search box Click on the link "Jump to extend" Your screen will say "Applying for an Extension" Answer "Yes" to the question "program," Select "Continue" Follow the TurboTax screens and answer all of the follow-up questions Click here for How to File a Tax Extension: A Step-By-Step Guide   You can also click this link federal tax extension to start an extension for your federal income tax return.

I tried to re-create your problem in TurboTax Desktop, but the software automatically adds the bonus depreciation back on line 2 of CT-1040. Are you using TurboTax Online? If so, you may need to finish answering all the questions in the State Taxes interview screens about Connecticut before everything fully populates onto the return.    Try getting through to the end of the state tax section, getting past the review, and then printing and checking the form again.    This will likely be your issue in the desktop software as well; I couldn't get anything to popuate onto CT-1040 until all the questions had been answered under State Taxes.

I have aMacBookAir that I only use for taxes.  The rest of the year its offline.  I am not going to buy a new computer just so I can update to MacOS14.  After I bought TT2025 i found out that it does not work on this OS version.  That should be right up front.  F off you A holes.

Not all w-2s can be successfully imported or uploaded.   There are many possible reasons the import/upload doesn't work.    The easiest option is to manually enter the document.  How do I manually enter my W-2?

If you are using the TurboTax online web-based editions - Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the program screen. Click on Tools. Click on Topic Search. Type in self-employed retirement. With the key words highlighted, click on GO. If you are using the 2025 TurboTax CD/Download desktop editions - Click on the Search icon in the upper right of the desktop program screen. Type in self-employed retirement and Enter  

Can’t you get a copy from your Online account?   What year?  2024?   Do you want to get 2024 so you can transfer it into 2025?   If you used the Online version last year you can Transfer it into the Desktop installed program.  Start a new return and you can Import from last year.    Otherwise, How to Access prior year online returns https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/27010 If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2025 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2025. I had to go though about 12 screens. If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups. Or request a transcript from the IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript Or get a copy of your return using form 4506 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf  

Vanessa, Thanks for your reply.  I tried what you said and was able to delete the PA Unemployment Expenses worksheet, but as I continued the PA taxes, it was for some reason making me verify my information on my federal form, my 2024 AGI, the id's (PA drivers license) that we used to submit last year, and then said my fed file was submitted and continued onto PA taxes and when it reviewed PA taxes, it came up with the PA UE form to fill out.  I tried skipping it and it said I would need to mail the PA tax forms.  Going back to check on the left tab files option, the PA UE form had returned.  When I looked at all the file, I noticed there was a form 2106 (IRS) but it said I could not delete that form.  I looked in the saved (printed) file of my federal taxes and no IRS form 2106 was found.  So it seems like even though I did not file and Employee Expenses, the federal file remains and it keeps triggering the PA state UE form.  I have tried deleting it several times and just going around in a circle.

Thank you for responding. Well I found a work around in the forms sections. I'm not sure if I have to update it manually now. Evertime I opened the software, it seemed to be updating. But! Although I did shut the software down, and then reopened it (still didn't work). I never thought of clearing the cache, so I'll remember that trick next time. I like Turbo federally, but the state tax software not so well. I may go back to H&R.
