@cathydennis1228   Did you figure it out or still need help?  Your post is the first and only post about Excess Social Security tax error since the Online version opened in early December and the Desktop program came out in early  November.   Did it let you efile?  Did you do something to fix it to efile?     ps......your post was very hard to read.  You need to add more spaces and break it up into paragraphs.

Why do you need to remove it?  It can come from several places.   If you get Social Security it can come from the SSA-1099 Medicare deduction.  If you have a 1095 A for Marketplace Ins there is a checkbox for Self Employment.  Or if you entered it directly  under Business go back to here to delete it.   Where to enter Health Ins if you are self employed.  https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/insurance-medical-benefits/enter-health-insurance-premiums-self-employed/L8bO3dyWi_US_en_US?uid=lky76pdq

Did you efile? Was it Accepted? Did you go all the way through the File tab, through the 3 steps and hit the big orange Transmit Returns Now button? Maybe you didn’t finish filing it or it rejected or you were suppose to mail it. When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc. What does it say? Check back though your emails. When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile. If you efiled there should be an Electronic Postmark page. Probably near the end. That is your proof and signature.   2024 AGI You need your 2024 AGI to efile 2025. The AGI is on 2024 1040 or 1040SR line 11. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse. How to find the AGI. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947 If you didn't file 2024 or filed it later in the year or mailed it, then try entering 0 for the AGI. If that doesn't work you will have to print and mail your return. Or request a transcript from the IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

Sorry,  I don't understand your question.  Do you need to file a 2023 tax return?   Online is only for 2025 now. Online for 2023 and prior is closed now so you can not start a new 2023 or prior return or finish one. You have to do each year separately How to prepare a prior year return https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-prepare-a-prior-year-tax-return/00/25984 To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here, https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products You will need Windows 10 or Mac Monterey 12 to install it on. If you have a simple return and want to file for free you can fill out the forms by hand. Here are some basic forms….. Here is the IRS 2023 Form 1040 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2023.pdf or if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors, https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2023.pdf And 2023 Instructions https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2023.pdf 2023 Tax and EIC Tables https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040tt--2023.pdf Sch 1 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2023.pdf Sch 2 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2023.pdf Sch 3 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2023.pdf You have to print and mail prior year returns. 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 UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return. Don’t forget state.

Dear @MarilynG1 ,   My question is about foreign income amounts reported on Form 2555 that flow into Form 1116. Your screencap shows blank entries for columns A & B in the "Income Excluded on Form 2555 Smart Worksheet" box. What happens once you fill those in by selecting “Taxpayer’s” in both columns A & B (assuming you have unexcluded Foreign Earned Income reported on Form 2555)?   Note that “Unlinking Form 2555 [from Form 1116 via the Smart Worksheet discussed above] entirely is also not a solution because TurboTax provides no other mechanism for adding back the excluded FEI on [Form 1116] Line 3d. This occurs in (at least) TurboTax versions 2023, 2024, and 2025” (quoted from my original question).   There appears no mechanism (except  manual override of Form 1116 Lines 1a and 3d) in TurboTax to correctly disaggregate income between countries for income reported on Form 2555.
