I'm using the online version. Once I completed inputting all my information, I did a federal review and asked the software to explain in detail why I'm getting the refund amount. Below is the message the software explain pertaining to the SALT:   "In 2024, you deducted $25,646 in state, local, property, and sales taxes, but only $10,000 is deductible this year due to a cap on these taxes."   That's why I'm wondering why the software telling me the SALT cap is $10K this year.

Para agregar una declaracion estatal.  Valla a la seccion de Impustos Estatales, y entra al la seccion de Preparar declaracion estatal, y siga las preguntas   No hay impuestos estatales en el estado de Texas para individuos.  Solo empresas que ingresan mas de $2,650,000 durante el año tienen que declarar en Texas.

For each completed Form 8949, enter a "summary" of that Form. TurboTax will generate your Schedule D for e-File. you will be instructed to mail paper copies of the detail Forms 8949 to the IRS OR,  to attach the PDF copies when you e-File.   @user17697356305  .

For the OP and others, here is the best information I've found but it doesn't resolve the weird UI for 2025 in TurboTax relative to prior year.  It's really confusing not having those options there and anyone who isn't paying close attention could easily input their 1099-Q and then their 1098-T and be confused or not notice they are getting taxed on the difference if they fail to find a way to put their off campus R&B in somehow given the 2025 TurboTax desktop version is missing this functionality at this point in time.  It has been there for years....as far back as I can remember as a TurboTax user for over a decade with one college grad and two in now (junior & senior).    What is a 1099-Q? Reporting Payments from Qualified Education Programs - TurboTax Tax Tips & Videos

Do you mean a 1095A for marketplace health insurance?    Or do you mean a 1098T for college tuition?     If you already e-filed---which is what your post seems to say--     You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.     If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X you need becomes available in late February,  But wait until your return has been processed.    

Time to enter x's education expenses Required books and materials from the school   Optional books and materials from the school   Back Continue   I'm pasting the screen within TurboTax 2025 here where historically you can enter room & board for off campus housing as well as computer purchases.  For the life of me I can't locate those options in TurboTax 2025 desktop version.  This screen grab is from after first inputting a 1099-Q which is greater than the total reflected on the corresponding 1098-T from a given university where the difference in my case is for off campus housing & food which are below the university's COA as published by their financial aid office so those expenses are qualified education expenses and there should be a spot to enter them as there has always been one in the past. Help!!

The percentage form returns back to 100% regardless of days, percentages.  There is a bug.  I conversed with their AI help and it continues to tell me I did something wrong.  If so, why does the Desktop version work but not OnLine?
