I haven't heard of anyone encountering this specific problem with the Form 2210 section. Which version of TurboTax are you using?   If you are using an Online version, check your internet connection. Try logging out of TurboTax, restarting your device and logging back in. You could also try clearing your cache and cookies.    

You need to enter the loss carryover as a negative number, that may be why TurboTax is not allowing the entry.   A qualified business income (QBI) operating loss would be a business loss. If you are being asked to enter a QBI carryover loss, that would be the un-deducted loss on your QBI qualifying business or rental from the previous year. Otherwise, it would be your loss for the current year. It would pertain to a business or rental that qualifies for QBI treatment.    A passive loss would come from a passive activity, typically a rental. You can look on your form 8582 from the previous year and subtract line 11 from line 9 to find your passive loss carryover to the current year. If the loss was from QBI qualifying property, that would be your QBI loss carryover.    

I spoke with a specialist at TurboTax on 3/30/26 who had no fix for my issue. I told her that the filing instructions that printed with my CA state tax return stated that my tax payment would be paid by direct debit (which is what I wanted to have happen). She checked with others in her department and said to ignore the Check This Entry error message and go ahead and file. I successfully e-filed my CA state tax return on 3/31/26.

Thank you so much for getting back with me  I spoke with Fidelity and they just told me they didn't know? I also called Security Benefits and they said the Federal Withholding Tax had already been paid out and he didn't think this was titled as "Inheritance Tax" for State?  Any input on your end?   

To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January 2025 (for 2024) go to Federal on left or at top (Personal for Home & Business) Deductions and Credits Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid Estimated Taxes - click the start button   You have to enter the dates you actually paid the estimates and pick the right state from the drop down box   For Online,  When you click in the left column tab for Deductions & Credits, it may take you to a page called "Your Tax Breaks. Lower on that same screen should be a button or link for "Add more tax breaks" or "Show more tax breaks" or similar wording. When clicked, then the screen should expand, and all the deduction topics are displayed including "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid." Then that topic can be expanded further to get the subtopic Estimated Tax Payments.

Line 28 on Schedule E is where the income or loss reported on a K-1 schedule would appear. That would be associated with a partnership, S corporation or trust activity that you had an ownership interest in. TurboTax may be looking for the K-1 entry or there may be an issue with what you entered off of a K-1 for the activity.

It depends. TurboTax can still generate Form 8606 for 2024/2025, but it will only appear if the software detects a nondeductible IRA contribution, a basis carried forward, or a distribution/conversion that requires it.    If you are using TurboTax desktop software, you can go to:    Forms Open Form Type  "8606" Now the form will appear in the right-pane on your screen. Once it appears, you can select print at the bottom of the form and the form will print for you.  You can now have a printed form for your own records. Now if you have a basis in your retirement accounts and TurboTax missed it, then you will need to do additional work.   Go to: Deductions & Credits → Retirement & Investments → Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions   Then answer Yes to:“Did you have any nondeductible IRA contributions from 2024 or prior years?” TurboTax should then ask for your basis as of 12/31/2024. If it doesn’t, enter the basis manually here. As a result, you should have a 8606 generated in your account.   @Merry Widow   

Follow these steps: Go to the State Taxes tab and Edit / Review your Wisconsin return. Continue until you see income that WI handles differently - or similar- depending on the program. Look for Medical  Start/ edit Medical Care Insurance  Enter the amount paid via the Marketplace (Form 1095-A, Column A minus Column C).

Putting a large amount for Foreign tax did not work to generate Form 1116.  Please open a bug report.   1.  I have a large carryover from previous years. 2.  I have a <300 foreign tax for 2025 3. The foreign tax credit for 2025 is 0. 4. In View Forms,  I can see the Form 1116 worksheet.  I have entered prior years carryover manually. 5. I would like to file my return electronically. 6. When I ask Turbotax to generate a PDF for review,  Form 1116 or Form 1116 worksheet is not generated in either "Forms for Filing or All calculations worksheet". 7. I have selected "File Form 1116 even if not needed" option in the Federal Information worksheet.   I found Turbotax rules on Form 1116 below.   It says I should be able to force Form 1116 generation by selecting the option in the Federal Information worksheet.   Thank you.   R   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are the rules per TurboTax Desktop.   RULES FOR FORM 1116 AND HOW THE PROGRAM DETERMINES WHETHER OR NOT FORM 1116 NEEDS TO BE ATTACHED TO THE RETURN Many people will be able to claim the foreign tax credit without actually completing Form 1116. This is an election that can be made if ALL of the following are true: * All the income must be in the "passive category income" category of income. * The total amount of creditable foreign taxes is $300 or less ($600 or less if married filing jointly). * All of the creditable foreign taxes are shown on a payee statement (1099-INT, 1099-DIV, Schedule K-1, etc.) furnished to you. * Any excess foreign taxes paid or accrued in another year cannot be carried into or out of the current tax year. (Even if there was a carryover from a previous year that is eligible to be claimed in the current tax year, it can't be claimed in a year where the election is made to NOT complete Form 1116.) * You are not filing Form 4563 or excluding income from sources within Puerto Rico. * Any dividend income from shares of stock are from shares held at least 16 days. The program will automatically make this election if all of the following are true: * The total sum of foreign taxes entered on Forms 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, the Schedule K-1 Worksheets, and any manual entries made on the 1116 Computation Worksheet lines 8p and 8r1 doesn't exceed the $300/$600 limit. * If there is a foreign tax amount on a Schedule K-1 Worksheet, the category of income selected is "passive category income". * If a category of income box is checked on any Form 1116, the category checked is "passive category income". * If a category of income box is checked on any Form 1116 Computation Worksheet, the category checked is "passive category income". * There is no amount entered on the Federal Information Worksheet for "Excludable income from Puerto Rico". * There is no foreign tax credit carryover from another year that can claimed in this year. If any of the following are true, you may wish to NOT have the program make the election for you: * If any foreign taxes that you are claiming a credit for weren't reported to you on a payee statement (you MUST file Form 1116 in this situation), or * If you can't claim all of the foreign taxes as a credit against your taxes this year because your tax is smaller than your credit, or * If you paid foreign taxes on income that can't be marked as foreign income within the program (for example, pensions or rents or royalties), or * If you entered an amount on the Federal Information Worksheet for "Excludable income from bona fide residents of American Samoa, Guam, or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands" and some, or all, of the amount was excluded on Form 4563, or * If you have any other reason to complete and attach Form 1116 to your return. If the program determines that you are qualified to claim the credit without completing Form 1116 but for one of the above reasons you want (or need) to complete and file Form 1116 anyway, check the box in the Other Information for Your Tax Return section of the Federal Information Worksheet. You will then need to complete Form 1116.
