We found a solution that worked for us. What we did - since we have two (isp) services - migrated the laptop to the second (isp). The difference in (subnet networking) reset the (windows firewall rules) as associated to (Intuit inbound/outbound) entries.   Most have only one (isp) service.  Suggestion - try rebooting the (cable modem) and (router) while your laptop is powered off.   

@JakeGreen  For folks using "Online" software, AND..If you've already filed...then you need to get back inside your tax return first.   You'd click on the text to "Add a State"  (you won't have to add one...that just gets you back in). Then, once in...you'd go to the left-side menu to the "Print Center" Once in there you will have the option to create a PDF with all the worksheets. ________________________ Don't make any changes in your actual file though.....don't go thru any of the interview questions again.....if you do so and you change anything, it will destroy some of what has already been filed and make your tax documents different from what the IRS & State already have.

Desktop download has "forms" mode in which you can view any form or schedule as you prepare the return if you want to, and easily switch back to the interview screens.   Online TurboTax does not have forms mode.  With online, you can preview only your Form 1040 and Schedules 1-3.    In order to see any other forms or schedules you have to pay your online TT fees first, and then you can print/see the forms.   

Yes, insurance premiums over age 65 are allowable.  See publication 969.   Insurance premiums. You can’t treat insurance premiums as qualified medical expenses unless the premiums are for any of the following. Long-term care insurance. Health care continuation coverage (such as coverage under COBRA). Health care coverage while receiving unemployment compensation under federal or state law. Medicare and other health care coverage if you were 65 or older (other than premiums for a Medicare supplemental policy, such as Medigap).   The premiums for long-term care insurance (item (1)) that you can treat as qualified medical expenses are subject to limits based on age and are adjusted annually. See Limit on long-term care premiums you can deduct in the Instructions for Schedule A (Form 1040). Items (2) and (3) can be for your spouse or a dependent meeting the requirement for that type of coverage. For item (4), if you, the account beneficiary, aren’t 65 or older, Medicare premiums for coverage of your spouse or a dependent (who is 65 or older) aren’t generally qualified medical expenses.   @Bsch4477  Please review. 

Go by the actual 1040X. Line 18 should be your original refund amount and line 22 should be your additional refund. If you paid on your original return it will be on line 16. If there is an amount owed with the amendment, it will be on line 20. Ignore any 1040V voucher that prints out and the new 1040. Those are what your return would have been if you had not needed to amend.

Firstly... Dear TurboTax, screw you for this scammy type behavior. This is ridiculous! This was not made clear and has cost me hours of my valuable time. I will not reuse this service, which I've faithfully used since 2019, again.    Dear Reader, I wanted to contribute to this post because it was extremely helpful, and I wanted to share what I learned. Everything listed by OP is true. If you are reading this, somewhere in your return you unknowingly clicked the wrong thing.   Here's what I did: - Check your email for an email from CreditKarma.  - Copy the email address that they sent the email to, regarding your return. - Go to CreditKarma.com, use the email address from the email to login. (It may prompt you to "create an account" however when you enter your email address it should say there's already an account linked to that address - simply follow through.) - You should see your return there and you can transfer funds directly from that account.  - You are given the option to transfer funds immediately (for a fee), or you can transfer the funds for free in 2-3 days.  * I would encourage you not to pay them a cent to transfer the money "instantly," as this is rewarding their scummy behavior. 

You are looking in the wrong spot.  Even though the full amount shows up in the total income on the 1040 line 7, if you have capital gains or qualified dividends the tax is not taken from the tax table but is calculated separately from Schedule D. The tax will be calculated on the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet. It does not get filed with your return. In the online version you need to save your return as a pdf file and include all the worksheets to see it.   Save the PDF https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/saving/help/how-do-i-save-my-turbotax-online-return-as-a-pdf/00/26234
