You must be answering something incorrectly in MY INFO so go back to MY INFO and go through all of the interview questions again slowly and carefully---read every screen top to bottom.
Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment. If your child was born in 2025 make sure you said he lived with you the whole year. There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support. Say NO to that question.
By claiming your child correctly you should be eligible to file as Head of Household, and get the child-related credits like child tax credit and maybe earned income credit.
If you are a non-married couple who live together with your child, then only one of you can claim the child(ren) and the one not claiming the child does not enter anything at all on their tax return about the child. The “sharing” of child-related credits you may have heard about is only possible between divorced or never married parents who live apart and share custody and who have a written agreement to share the credits. The child’s SSN can only be entered on one tax return. Any other return with the child’s SSN on it will be rejected. If you are a family, then work out how to share the refund between yourselves.
And....if your GF lived with you the whole year in 2025, you may be able to claim her as a "qualified relative" dependent for the $500 credit for other dependents.

When I fill out this section, it has already been populated with the info from my previous years (Desktop Edition) imported tax record, I close and save the information, the file remains as (Start) with a gray (NOT STARTED) indicator to the left of the (Start) indicator. The amount imported from the (2024 Desktop Edition) is correct and that correct amount is displayed in the year summary. Stepping through the section and filling out the remainder of the questions, intended to see if the amount is taxable changes nothing once I finish the section. The file remains as (Start) with a gray (NOT STARTED) indicator to the left of the (Start) indicator.

You cannot enter anything about unpaid medical bills. You can enter medical expenses that you PAID in 2025 as a medical expense for 2025 on your 2025 return.
MEDICAL EXPENSES
The medical expense deduction has to meet a rather large threshold before it can affect your return. The amount of medical (including dental, vision, etc.) expenses that will count toward itemization is the amount that is OVER 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You should only enter the amount that you paid in 2025—do not include any amounts that were covered by insurance or that are still outstanding. Of course, your medical expenses plus your other itemized deductions still have to exceed your standard deduction before you will see a difference in your tax due or refund.
To enter your medical expenses go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Medical>Medical Expenses
2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS
SINGLE $15,750 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)
MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750 (65 or older/legally blind +1600)
MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500 (65 or older/legally blind + $1600)
HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)

And, of course, TTX software does not know if you've entered everything. It's up to you to determine/know if you've entered all your income form all sources. TTX can't know what sources of income you have. Then you walk thru all the potential Deductions&Credits options, before going thru the final error checks. Don't attempt to file before the end of January....you may get some more tax forms in the mail you forgot to include, and they can't be slipped into a tax return you've already pushed the file/transmit button for (and, perhaps, is sitting on a TTX sever at this point, and waiting for IRS to access).

My question is asking if I spent more than $1,271 on medical expenses.

Yeah, I saw that too when I started up my test file. TTX "Online" seems to force you thru some of their Q&A before letting you jump around. Struggle thru some of the initial steps, and eventually you can get to the area where you can jump around yourself to whatever section you want to work on at any moment.

I am married, filing jointly, and my husband has started a new job this year working for a church. He does not qualify for clergy tax benefits yet, as he is not ordained. Until he is ordained, they are paying him through 1099. I understand that because no taxes will be automatically taken from his paycheck, we will have to make quarterly estimated tax payments. I have searched online, including IRS website, and just cannot get a clear answer as to how to figure out how to accurately estimate our quarterly tax payments.

After the Jan 7 update, I was able to enter charitable contributions, but when going back to the deductions and Credits heading, it says "Now Available" rather than presenting a 2025 total. Is this a bug? As an aside, I find it mind-boggling that Intuit STILL has no bug reporting within Turbotax, after all these years.
