Autocalculated amount 1099-R Summary line 40 "Nontaxable Distrubtions for Sales Tax Deductions".... then autofilled amount as discount/credit to 1040 Line 4a-- resulting in incorrect amount 1040 Line 4b. Why would an RMD have a Sales Tax Deduction?? I'd manually fix if I could but unable to change Sales Tax amount to Zero.

The problem isn't with the federal return. OF the 3 my priority is to submit this one e-file

I agree! Turbo Tax should change this, and only the sum up or down, not individual entries.

IF the federal tax return is not e-filed, then all the tax returns have to be printed and mailed.

Not sure what calculation you are referring to and what your question means. But, Estimated taxes (ES) are meant to be paid "timely" = quarterly by default, in order to meet the 'safe harbor' amount of tax due to avoid a penalty. The safe harbor is the smaller of: 100% of prior year tax (110% if prior year AGI > 150k or 75 if filing MFS), or 90% of current year tax. Take that safe harbor, minus withholding, and divide by 4 and that is what is due in ES per quarter, by default. Withholding is always considered timely. When you file for 2025, Turbotax will generate ES vouchers by default based on 100/110% of prior year tax and assumes withholding for 2026 is the same as 2025. You can provide 2026 income information to further optimize the ES calculations under Other Tax Situations / Form W4 and Estimated Taxes (or use other calculators - these vouchers are not filed in your return and are optional to use). See instructions for Form 2210 or Form 1040-ES for more information on the calculations.

I got this mail piece from the IRS today - for tax year 2023. We entered all interested received as noted on the 1099-INT. And apparently the IRS used a cost basis of 0 (perhaps due to a change in brokerage houses by our previous employer) vs the records we had. How do we best defend the information we have vs what the IRS is saying is coming from "reported by 3rd parties" who are unnamed?

Yes, you should report the Tax-Free Amount Previously Recovered IF you made after-tax contributions to the plan. If you did not, the Distribution Amount in Box 1 is the taxable amount. However, if you did make after-contributions AND you have an amount in Box 2a, then that is the Taxable Amount, because the plan made the calculations for you, so that's all you need to enter in TurboTax.
The Simplified Method is only used if box 2a is blank (or Unknown) and box 2b (not determined) is checked.
Here's more info on Tax Free Amount Previously Recovered.

I've been trying to fix this for a month now. My college is in the same zipcode area I'm in, I put that in and it goes back to the window saying "fix federal return", and repeat. I've went back and reviewed, everything is in order. I don't understand what is going on.

This is the message I keep getting when trying to e-file: Carryover Worksheet Line 24 (1st Column) amount doesn't match the sum of the 179 carryovers. The amount shown is $5,576 from Line 24 1st column Here s Line 24 from last year's return: 24 25 Excess foreign housing deduction: 2023 2024 24 5.576. The numbers matched and have matched and I've been waiting for several weeks thinking there would be an update to fix this glitch. Nope. So I called yesterday to ask for a workaround to e-file. I was told I could delete the numbers. Not happening or I could try redoing the entire return. Again not happening. I paid for Premier version and if I want to e-file with this "glitch" I should be able to. Instead I'm getting that I can change to file a paper return. I have used TT for over 25 years but this is the last if this isn't resolved. The numbers DO match and TT is not allowing me to e-file my return. Hours of time for no reason and no resolution to it either except to want to screen share with TT and that's not happening either. Pat

You are talking about two different Schedule A forms. Schedule A of Form 709 is for taxable gifts. Schedule A of Form 1040 is your itemized deductions which includes charitable and deductible gifts. TurboTax does not support Form 709 or any of its schedules.
For Form 709 - Schedule A information, see this IRS link to the instructions.
After you determine which gifts you made in 2025 that are subject to the gift tax, list them on Schedule A (Form 709). @Cruzesa
Form 709 including blank Schedule A

On another thread someone posted a solution which has worked for me. On the Tax and Interest Worksheet, on line 2a, I aded supporting detail for the RE taxes. I listed the total paid and then subtracted the amount from from 8829. This reduced the RE taxes reported on Schedule A.
