I recommend you file the return. Save a copy of your return as always. Then, go in all year long and move around numbers as your situation changes. The vouchers do not go to the IRS. They are not filed with your tax return.    The IRS wants you to make payments online, they are trying to reduce paperwork received and handled along with protecting your information. A stolen check has become dangerous again.    This section of the program is just to help you determine your payment. In the desktop, you can also use the What-if worksheet to see several scenarios at a glance. Copy column 1 to another column to start the process and change numbers.

As I noted in my original message:   A few pages are printed and printing stops with the following error printed:   ERROR: undefined OFFENDING COMMAND:  Sans   STACK:   /PSCSKF+*Microsoft /FontName -savelevel-

As a single member LLC owner, you can't issue yourself a W-2 - you pay Self-Employment tax on your income.   If you elect S-corp status as a pass-through entity, you would pay yourself a salary, but not as a self-employed LLC owner filing Schedule C.      You can only be employed by a separate entity and if you file a schedule C, you and the business are the same entity.     You report all of your business income and all of your expenses on Schedule C.   You pay tax on the net income.   Any draws of cash you take are not business expenses so they don't get reported.   W-2 income you receive is not business income.

Thank you for this link, I have reviewed the current posting (last page) on this website for US investors and have to say that it does not appear to specify that the investment expenses may be included in cost basis but the language appears generally conflicted. Will welcome additional thoughts from you and the community.

Accepted 2/5. No accountability from either side. I’ve heard calling the support number is a waste of time because the people know nothing more than what we see on the processing screen. This all started because it was a turbo tax issue causing the NY system to glitch out. And here we are 7 weeks later with no update and no refund. Shameful on Turbo Tax’s fault. 

You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2025 only.   Only a 2025 return can be prepared online and only a 2025 return can be e-filed.   Online preparation and e-filing for 2022, 2023, and  2024 is permanently closed. Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.   To file a return for a prior tax year  If you need to prepare a return for 2022, 2023, or 2024  you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s) https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/ You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.   Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.    

Yes, that is correct for TurboTax Desktop, it will prepare and provide a Form 4868 to mail. However you can always use this link to file your extension. Keep in mind an extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay. You can file your extension at our Easy Extension website, or select your situation for detailed steps. This allows you to file an extension outside of your tax return and use e-file. You may wish to file for an extension.  This will extend the time you have to file your taxes until October 15th, 2026.   How do I file an IRS Tax Extension? Also, you may have to file your state taxes:  Do I need to file an extension for my personal state taxes?   Remember, an extension gives you more time to prepare your taxes, but it doesn't extend the time to pay your taxes.  If you have an indication that you will owe taxes, you should make the payment by the original due date of the tax return to avoid additional interest and penalties.
