Dear TurboTax: Please respond to this poster's issue.  I tried to use TT for the year ended 2024, but could not because of this installment sale issue.  I ended up purchasing TT, then had to pay H&R Block to file my returns, instead.  I'll give you one more try.  I'll try to use TT for my 2025 return.  But if this issue isn't resolved in 2025, this 25-year TT user will be moving on to a different tax software. 

CAN I USE TURBOTAX TO AMEND IF THE RETURN WAS PREPARED SOMEWHERE ELSE?   If you did not use TurboTax to prepare your tax return, it is possible to amend the return using TurboTax but it will really be a pain.  It would be better to use the software or service used to file originally.  If a paid preparer made a mistake on your tax return, that tax preparer should do the amended return for you at no charge. In order to use TurboTax to amend your return, you need to purchase the desktop software for the tax year and re-create the return EXACTLY as it appeared when it was filed with the IRS/states.  Every line has to be the same.  Then you have to "trick" the software into thinking you filed by saying you will mail the return. (but do not mail it)   AFTER that, you use the software to prepare a Form 1040X, which has to be printed, signed and mailed to the IRS.  It takes the IRS about 4-6  months to process an amended return   https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/ You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

Did you prepare and file your 2024 return using TurboTax?   If so: Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)     See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -   CURRENT YEAR https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk     Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/Filing/Individuals/Amended-Returns-(Form-1040-X)/Wheres-My-Amended-Return-1    

@flyday2022 , yes  the space is a bit small .  So , IMHO, you need to put in barest info --- Person's name ( NRA)  and for what --" beneficiary 529  contribution".  I say this because  this is a record of who received the amount and from whom, while 529 ref. is to show that this goes to an account.  I don't know if the IRS keeps detailed track of this or not , but for your own protection you are declaring this gift by NRA  ( two related persons ) to a non-taxable / tax favored account of the beneficiary.  Thus this becomes your record. BWT -- I am assuming here that  neither the donors  nor the country where  they are resident/citizen of  are sanctioned  .   Is there more I can do for you ?

@rossbaker1 Multiple users have posted to this thread so we do not know what "same problem" you have.   There are two possible PIN numbers you might need to enter.    Your five digit  pin is a self-select number you make up for yourself, using any five digits you expect to remember or keep a record of for yourself.  If you are trying to enter a six digit IRS IP PIN, you must get that six digit number from the IRS and enter in the correct place:     If you have a 6 digit PIN issued to you by the IRS you need to enter it in order to e-file.  Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.       https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/retrieve-your-ip-pin
