@AnnettB6 TurboTax asks two questions, 1. the amount of the refund, which I understand is the refund for 2024 paid in 2025. 2. "Payments and withholdings". Is this amount supposed to be for 2024 or 2025? The "circled-i" information implies that it is for 2024. Bonus question: why is this even needed?

Since you can't access forms In TurboTax Online, if you entered a 1099-B Treasury Bond Sale with Accrued Market Discount, in the New Jersey interview, you'll get a screen for 'Disposition of Property'.  If the AMD shows with an amount, check the 'Omit' box to exclude it from your NJ return.  It may already show with an entry of $0, if you selected NJ as your state in your original entry in your Federal return,  in which case you don't need to exclude it.   Otherwise, you can do as another poster suggested and Efile your Federal return, remove the 1099-B item with AMD and file your NJ return.    @advaitjoshi  @betows     

Follow these steps:   On the left-hand-side, Hover over Deductions and Credits and click on Deductions and credits summary. Go to HSA, MSA Contributions section and click "revisit" You will first be asked about HSA distributions (1099-SA), go through those questions and once done with that, click continue. Next you will be asked about HSA contributions, enter your HSA contributions shown on your W2 and on the other field, enter contributions made outside of your W2. Answer whether or not you were covered by a High Deductible health plan (HDHP). Next, check the box to any of the situations that apply to you. The next screen will ask if your HSA plan was a "self-only" plan or a "Family" plan.  Answer accordingly. Continue to work through the screens to finish entering your HSA contributions for the year.

Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), which established the federal "No Tax on Overtime" deduction starting in the 2025 tax year, there is a strict eligibility requirement: if you are married, you must file a joint return to claim the deduction.   To qualify for the overtime deduction, you must meet these requirements:  You must be a non-exempt employee who is eligible for overtime under federal law (FLSA).  Your filing status cannot be Married Filing Separately.  Your modified adjusted gross income must be below $150,000 or less ($300,000 for joint filers) to be eligible for the maximum deduction, If your income is over $150,000 ($300,000 for joint filers), then the deduction begins to reduce by $100 for each $1,000 of MAGI over the applicable threshold amount. Once your MAGI hits $275,000 ($550,000 for joint filers), the overtime deduction is not available. The pay must be for hours worked over 40 in a single workweek, and only the overtime premium (the extra "half" in time-and-a-half pay) is qualified for the deduction.  Here is an article you may find helpful: No Tax on Overtime Explained: Qualified Overtime Deduction Rules for 2025

If you had any capital gains (from stocks, mutual funds, or capital gain distributions on a 1099-DIV), your loss is automatically applied to those gains first. Only the net loss after this calculation appears on Line 7.

Who is the issuer?   1099-NEC are generally for self-employment income only.   Is it a 1099-MISC, maybe?      The first screen asks what type of income the 1099-NEC is for.   The Hobby option will report the income as Other income instead of business income, but you will need to delete the Schedule that was already erroneously started.    Enter 1099-NEC      

Thanks for your quick response. You give me hope this will work for me. I’ve been doing this for 3 days straight with this bug that’s been around since last year per my research and this discussion board. 

You may have accidently started your return in TurboTax Canada.  Look at the bottom of the screen and check to see if it says:    "2026 Intuit Canada ULC or one of its affiliates. All rights reserved.."   If it does, you started your return in TurboTax Canada.  You will need to clear that return and use this link to Start TurboTax for free.

You generally do not need to enter Health Care FSA information in TurboTax, as your W-2 (Box 1) already reflects reduced taxable wages.   Make sure that your W-2 is entered correctly. Health Care FSA contributions (usually labeled with Code W in Box 12) are not reported elsewhere.   If this is for daycare, it goes in Box 10 of your W-2 and is finalized in the Child and Dependent Care Credit section of TurboTax.   Some employers list FSA deductions in Box 14 of Form W-2. No additional entry is usually needed in the deductions section.   Unlike contributions that are made to an HSA there is not a reporting requirement for FSAs on your tax return.   To get back to your TurboTax screens to delete any incorrect HSA information you can:   Click on Search at the top right of your TurboTax screen Type HSA in the search box Click on the link that says Jump to HSA Make sure these questions are answered correctly.
