If she earned more than $5200 in 2025 she cannot be claimed as anyone else's dependent.  She is too old to be a qualifying child dependent and if she had more than $5200 of income --not counting any Social Security-- she cannot be a qualifying relative dependent.

No.   As she is 24 and only a part-time student, and works full time with a gross income of more than $5,200, you cannot claim her as a dependent.   Please read this TurboTax article on Who Can I Claim as a Tax dependent?  

TurboTax is using the correct amount. The rules for the standard deduction do not apply to the deduction for seniors. IRC Section 151(d)(5)(C)(iii)(I) says "In the case of any taxpayer for any taxable year, the $6,000 amount in clause (i) shall be reduced (but not below zero) by 6 percent of so much of the taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income as exceeds $75,000 ($150,000 in the case of a joint return)." Filing as QSS is not a joint return. The IRS instructions for Schedule 1-A Part V (on page 110 of the Instructions for Form 1040) say: "The $6,000 per person amount is reduced if your MAGI is more than the amount shown next for your filing status. • Married filing jointly—$150,000. • Single, Head of household, or Qualifying surviving spouse—$75,000."  

I figured it out. It just wants the first THREE from your document ID. I found it quite confusing and discovered the solution on a Reddit thread. I hope this helps folks with NY drivers licenses!   Example: Doc# RTJLWBNV0S You'd put: RTJ   Hope that helps

Do we know when this going to be fixed? I get used to enter 1099Q for last few years, and was always asked if these expenses are qualified. Was absolutely shocked, when saw TT just silently made the earnings taxable with extra 10% penalty this year. Many people probably do not check the final documents and just trust "we will get you the biggest refund possible" ad.   Yeah, I understand I can just delete 1099Q, and that's what I will do, but this is frustrating.

If you had contributions as a teacher in between 1987 and 1989, Georgia did not give you a tax break on those contributions, meaning you already paid taxes on that money.  So, when you are taking the distribution, you would not need to pay taxes on THAT portion again.  So, if this applies to you, you would enter your contributions made during that period.  If this does not apply to you, you can leave it blank or enter 0 whichever it tells you to do.      

This has been solved in the Desktop version as of 3/5/26:   The latest update to the desktop version has added the uncommon situation after entering your W-2 that asks if there are any tips reported in box 1 but not in box 7 or 14. 

We're currently working on an update to form 5695. A potential calculation error has been identified on the federal return related to the Form 5695, Energy Efficient Home Improvement section, specifically the Enabling Property group.   This return can't be filed at this time due to a processing error. The fix is scheduled for March 6, 2026.

 I am thinking you have business income/ rental/ some income from IN forcing you to file a return since you no longer live or work there. There is a good chance some ghost data is in your return. Let's go through a few basic things that you may have already done: Open to your federal return Personal info Edit your state of residence Verify your new state is listed and IN is not anywhere in the federal section - despite needing to file a return Open to your IN return Go through the General Info section In which county did you live? select Out of State In which county did you work? select 00 or 99 - depending on the version If those answers were already marked correctly, change the answers to some random county, continue, continue Change the answers back to the correct answer. This should force a refresh. You should be cleared and ready to file. If not, there is definitely ghost data in your return. A full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files). Delete all the forms that relate to the county. Online version: Delete all the forms related to county, see How to Delete   Log out of your return and try one or more of the following: Don't use Internet Explorer. Clear cache and cookies, Sign in using a different browser. Sign in using a different device. Log back into your return. Enter the information again. Desktop version:  Delete the forms Save your return while closing the program. Update the program Open Enter the information again. Just for kicks, I asked Gemini your question and it said amending the return was terrible advice. Which it was. You do not want to file an incorrect return. If you do all of the above and still have an issue, delete the state, clear cache and cookes, etc again. Best wishes!

Did you open the 2024 return in the 2024 program?  I don't know the Business program but see if she was listed as Final in 2024?   Maybe  you can change something about her on your 2024 return and transfer again into 2025.
