I'm not sure when you want me to use this password. At what point should I be entering my keychain or login password? The issue is that when using TurboTax to "print" to a PDF file with password protection, the PDF file ends up with no password protection. If I go through the exact same process with other apps (using the Print dialog to print to a PDF with a password) it works fine, but with TurboTax the PDF ends up with no password protection.

If you have already filed your return using TurboTax Online (TTO) and now need to amend your return using TurboTax Desktop (TTD) to report your 1099-C and also include Form 982, you will need to contact TurboTax Support to assist you with switching products, because TTO does not support manual entry of Form 982.   Here is a link to What's the TurboTax phone number? for further assistance.

You enter the License Code after you install the program, then when it launches.  Are you following these steps?   How to get started with the Desktop program, install and activate it https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/product-delivery/download-software-turbotax-com/L7u9oLEkq_US_en_US?uid=luqgvzrd

Currently, TurboTax supports the manual entry of IRS Form 1099-DA. We are in the process of enhancing our CSV import and upload features to make this process more seamless. Timeline: We expect the new CSV import functionality to be available soon. Please note that this is an estimated target as we finalize the experience. Supported Documents: Once live, the import/upload feature will support both 1099-DA and DigitalAssetGainLoss files. If you are ready to file now, you can still enter your information manually. Otherwise, thank you for your patience while we get these automated tools ready for you!

This sounds like a different issue to me. In my case, I could always see and "select" the months 10, 11, or 12, but I would not actually select the month as it either stayed at unselected or whatever month I previously selected. My workaround was that I had one card with an expiration month that I could enter.

Our TurboTax team has identified the issue and is working on a resolution.   Sign up for notifications on when this issue will be fixed using the link below: Why am I getting address errors for my Home Energy credit when the address has already been added and is correct?   After you confirm the issue has been resolved, then fix it and resubmit your return.   Edited [03-11-2026 at 4:14 PM E.T.]

When you went through the education section, it asked if the scholarship was used for graduate or postdoctoral study and that must be answered yes for the IRA eligibility. If you did, and the program still disallowed the ROTH, it must be entered as @ReneV4  states.    Caution: This means that you are no longer entering the full stipend in the education section. Instead, the nontaxable portion remains in the education section. The taxable portion is what you remove from the education section and is the amount reported under Other Income.

Why are you asking?   The first time homebuyer program only existed in 2008 and 2009, it gave taxpayers a credit to help buy a home ($7500 max) that was repaid over 15 years ($500/year).  The last year for repayment was 2024.  

Make sure your W-2 entry doesn't show any tax county tax withheld (or income).  If you imported your W-2, try deleting it and re-entering it manually.     Also, in the Indiana State interview, make sure you indicated 'non-resident' at the beginning of the interview.  In that case, you should not be asked for an address or County in the following screens.   @mjh1 

Can you give us more information? If you were a full year resident, you shouldn't be asked for an end of residency date. If you were a part year resident, the state you moved to would have an end date of 12/31/2025.

Hey Mike9241 - you are a champ!  It worked for me and I was playing with this for a couple of hours.  Wish I came upon your steps sooner, but at least it's done!  Thanks!! A different Mike from Illinios!

The senior deduction is automatically calculated by TurboTax based on the dates of birth you entered for each spouse.   The senior additional deduction is not included in the standard deduction but appears on line 37 of Schedule 1-A of your form 1040, with that amount flowing to line 13b of your form 1040.   In TurboTax Online, you can only view Schedule 1-A after registering and paying the TurboTax fee.   But you can preview your form 1040 and check line 13b of your form 1040 which includes the senior deduction among other deductions if applicable, such as the tip deduction, the overtime or the car loan interest deduction.   To preview your form 1040 in TurboTax Online, follow these steps:   Open your return In the left-hand column, locate Tax Tools, click on the drop-down arrow then click on Tools On the Tools Center page, click on View Tax Summary In the left-hand column, click on Preview my 1040 Your form 1040 will display. Scroll down to line 13b   and you should see the amount of this deduction included in this line.
