After TWO weeks, the MAX menu appeared at the bottom of the page before finalizing the payment. Sending a screenshot to the group. Such a pity as I emailed TurboTax CustomerCare, saying it was most likely a bug, after sharing the screen with them, and they ghosted me without having any clue on what was going on :(   Thanks for all the people that replied!  

Hi  TT,   Why are you not answering your clients who bought your software and expect it to work? I'm doing my taxes and it seems TT Desktop still uses the old txf format? I've been paying for the annual renewal program and this is making me reconsider. Please make sure TT Dekstop works with Koinly for crypto users otherwise people will leave you.

Box 13, "Retirement plan," is checked. There is no information in Box 14. I have contacted my former employer to request a corrected W-2. I may have to contact IRS for a written opinion to incentivize them to comply (assuming I'm right). Thanks for reaching out.

 On the 8949, enter the adjusted basis from the sales of units supplement that was provided. you can use the cost reported on the 1099-B but then you must adjust to arrive at the correct basis determined as described above      in the k-1 worksheet,  enter only that you made a partial or fully taxable disposal. Also, in the K-1 TurboTax subworksheet for disposal you enter the sales price as any 751 recapture with 0 cost basis, nothing else. YOU DIO NOT REPORT THE ENTIRE SALE HERE. YOU WOULD BE DOUBLE REPORTING

Thank you, Marilyn.  It won't accept a transmit date after 12/31/25. I've wasted several hours trying to figure out if there was a way to transmit the e-file.  The TT support page (updated 3)19/26) says "Generally, you can e-file your amended 2025, 2024, 2023 federal return via TurboTax if your original return was also e-filed in TurboTax".  Why does it not say that Intuit has closed e-filing for 2023 and 2024 amended returns?

was the trust assigned a separate tax id number? if so, you should now prepare a grantor trust 1041 not only for the K-1s but also for all other income and deductions being reported using the trust's EIN.  However, from a tax standpoint for your personal return, nothing has happened.     not knowing which is the case, it's difficult to give advice.    this is from a law firm's opinion on filing a 1041 for a grantor trust the first method is filing a grantor trust 1041 . The second method is an alternative procedure that allows the trustee to bypass the filing of Form 1041 entirely. The trustee must instead furnish the name, address, and SSN of the grantor to all payors of income to the trust during the tax year. This directs payors, such as brokerage houses or banks, to report the income directly to the grantor’s SSN on Forms 1099. This approach requires the trustee to ensure that all income is correctly attributed to the grantor from the outset. The grantor reports the trust’s income directly on their personal Form 1040. This method is preferred for its administrative simplicity, eliminating the need for a separate Form 1041. The most streamlined alternative method involves using the grantor’s SSN with the payors. This alternative method is available only if the trust is owned by a single grantor or by a married couple filing a joint return.

Thanks. However, when I try to choose direct debit I eventually get an error message saying "File by mail is not available because you have selected to pay balance due with direct debit. If you want to file by mail, you must go back and choose a different method to pay your taxes." There is no option to file by paying the IRS directly. It seems check is the only option? Is there a way to pay via bank transfer and still file by mail?

Can I switch from "Expert Full Service" after the return is filed? The expert messed up my return. Turbotax assigned a new expert to do amendment. But the new expert also does not seem to understand my tax situation. They don't even respond to my questions for many days. I want to get out of full service and file the amendment myself using TurboTax software. How do I do that?
