Using all nines won't go through e-file, but using 99-0099999 will work for a foreign pension.   The best way to enter foreign interest is in Other Reportable Income.     You can delete the 1099-INT entry and replace it with the following:   Delete the 1099-INT entry you currently have (use the "trash can" icon). Go to Wages & Income -> Less Common Income. Select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C. Select Other reportable income (at the bottom of the list). Description: Enter "Foreign Bank Interest (Turkey)" and the bank name. Amount: Enter the USD equivalent No EIN needed  

@pdussias   If it's asking for an EIN number you are entering it in the wrong place. There is no EIN on social security SSA-1099. Delete it and enter it here, Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099 under Federal Taxes (Personal for Home&Business) Wages and Income Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security Then the second line - Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit button Then keep going, on the next screen be sure to answer Did you live in a Foreign Country? NO. If you are married you need to say No for each spouse.

You have 3 years to file a return if you are getting a refund.  No time limit if you owe.   Sorry, Online is only for 2025 now. Online for 2024 and prior is closed now so you can not start a new 2024 or prior return or finish one. You have to do each year separately How to prepare a prior year return https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-prepare-a-prior-year-tax-return/00/25984 To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here, https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products You will need Windows 10 or Mac Ventura 13 to install it on. If you can't install the Desktop program or if you have a simple return and want to file for free, you can fill out the blank IRS forms by hand. Here are some basic forms….. Here is the IRS 2024 Form 1040 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040--2024.pdf OR if you want bigger type use 1040SR for Seniors, https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s--2024.pdf And 2024 Instructions https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1040gi--2024.pdf Sch 1 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s1--2024.pdf Sch 2 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s2--2024.pdf Sch 3 : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040s3--2024.pdf Then when you do file 2025 enter 0 for the 2024 AGI since you are filing 2024 late. You have to print and mail prior year returns. When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS received the return. Don’t forget state.

Hi,  Have you entered your mortgage interest on another form? Check out your forms ....Another work around is finish your taxes and at the end you may get a series of errors where you need to enter data into a field. Hope this helps

There is a credit for the elderly or disabled (you don't have to be both). But because it has not been adjusted for inflation since 1983, very very few people qualify. If you qualify, TurboTax (TT) will automatically calculate it. It goes on Schedule 3, line 6d, which goes to 1040 line 20. It is not a refundable credit. That is, you must have a tax liability to offset to get the credit. Very few people, with that little income have an actual tax to offset.   If you think you qualify, and TT missed it, In TurboTax enter at: Federal Taxes Tab Deductions & Credits -Scroll down to: --Other deductions & Credits -Elderly or Disabled credit  

After you enter the 1099 income, remove it by following these steps:   Open to federal income Scroll to the bottom/ show more income Locate Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, Start Scroll to the bottom Other reportable income, Start Other taxable income? Select YES Description damage award 1099-NEC Amount, enter your negative amount with a minus sign in front, for example -3600 continue

@ AREISER  Without more info we're having to guess a bit here.  Unless it specifically said "missing or incorrect IP PIN" this rejection is most likely due to the 2024 AGI.    If you provide the exact error code and message, we won't have to guess.   Like @ baldietax said, the 5-digit signing PIN can be anything.   You don't have to have the one from last year.    While a 6-digit IP PIN would indeed work to overcome an AGI issue (since it is also a verifier), getting one might be more work than necessary.   If it IS an AGI rejection, and if rejected when using the actual 2024 AGI from your original 2024 Form 1040, Line 11, then instead try using a 2024 AGI of 0.   Also, is this a joint return or a single taxpayer?   If a joint return, both taxpayers use the same total AGI from 2024.    If it is a joint return, be sure who the rejection is for.  Again, if you provide the rejection error code or message, that will be helpful and might result in more specific advice.

USER ERROR WITH SOCIAL SECURITY ENTRY We have seen a lot of people who made a user error with the entry of their SSA1099.   The screen right after you enter the SSA1099 asks you if you lived in certain foreign countries in 2025.   If you skipped past that screen or answered incorrectly, your Social Security was not taxed correctly.   Look at your Form 1040 and see if line 6b was left blank due to that mistake.  The IRS is catching those mistakes and correcting them by reducing your refund or increasing your tax due.   It is really so important to read every screen slowly and carefully from top to bottom as you prepare your tax return to avoid errors.

the rejection is likely referring to the IRS Identity Protection PIN which is 6 digits.  The 5-digit PIN you assign for e-file is something you choose, it doesn't have to match anything.   it'll probably reject again from what you're describing.  to get your 6-digit IP PIN go to your account at irs.gov.  You enter it in Turbotax under Other Tax Situations / Other Return Info.  IRS issues a new PIN every calendar year for any filing activity regardless of tax year.

Try entering 0 for the AGI. The IRS might have processed your return later so the AGI didn't get entered in time.  Especially if you mailed it.  That works for most people. See, https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/rejections/help/what-if-i-entered-the-correct-agi-and-i-m-still-getting-an-e-file-reject/00/27031 How to correct the AGI in the Online version https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/where-do-i-correct-my-agi-in-turbotax-online/00/26311 If you can’t get it to efile you will have to print and mail it. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online/00/26258 Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

Some states are quick with refunds, some states can take several weeks.  You didn't name the state, so we can only speak in general.   First, you need to be sure your state return was successfully filed.   If you efiled, be sure your efiled state return was accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can check by looking at the Tax Home in your Online account.   Or did you choose to file by mail instead?  TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you have to print, sign, date, and mail it.   The FAQ below tells how to check on a state refund.   When you scroll down further there, you will see a link for your state to get to its refund lookup tool.   Some state revenue department websites have a FAQ section or info on their refund lookup page that tells about how long it takes in that particular state.   FAQ:  How do I track my state refund? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...   After checking all of the above, if your processing is taking longer than the usual time frame for your state, you can phone your state department of revenue's customer service to see if they can tell you the reason for the delay.
