Looks like many others are having issues with the education tax credits section this year. I'm using the online version and there seems to be a real problem with how TurboTax is determining whether a dependent student qualifies for the AOTC.   My scenario - dependent son is in his second year of college. We claimed the AOTC for him last year via TT with no issues. Last year, his 1098T from the school showed ~$37k in payments received for qualified tuition & expenses, and $21k in scholarships. So, we had ~$16k in expenses that could be used to claim the AOTC.   This year, similar numbers on his 1098T, so ~16k in qualified expenses again. As I entered his data on this year's form, TT at first told me he was eligible to claim the credit and gave me the amount of the credit. But as I got toward the end and was reviewing my federal numbers, something had changed and I was no longer receiving the AOTC! So I went back through the deductions & credits section again and reviewed all the numbers, but when I got to the end of my son's entries it now said he did not qualify, because:    "Somebody else can claim [child] as a dependent on their return" "There were no net qualified education expenses" This is bizarre. Of course someone else can claim him as a dependent on their return -- me! That's what I'm trying to do, so I can claim the AOTC for him.   As for the second bullet -- this also makes no sense. His net qualified education expenses are ~$16k again, like last year. Why is he now not qualifying for AOTC? What made TurboTax first say he qualified, only to change its mind when I got to the end of the federal filing process?   The only thing I can think of is that perhaps TurboTax is doing something weird with our 529 distributions. The amount on box 1 of our 1099-Q is higher than his net qualified expenses -- but that's because we're using that money to pay for non-qualified expenses (room and board) and what's leftover to pay for his tuition after the scholarship and paying $4000 of tuition with non-529 funds so we can claim the AOTC without "double-dipping" between AOTC and 529. We had this same situation last year and there was no problem, TurboTax said he qualified for the AOTC. So I'm not sure what's wrong this year. Any ideas?

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.     If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X is scheduled to be available on February 19.   The date is subject to change, so check on 2-19 to see if it is ready.   Before that, do not change anything at all on your return.
Sorry-- theft losses have not been deductible on a federal tax return since 2017.   Not sure about CA.

You didn't say whether you are using TurboTax Online or the TurboTax Desktop software. I'm going to assume that you are using the TurboTax Desktop software in Windows. If that's not correct, post the correct information. Make sure your desktop software is updated. On the Online menu click "Check for Updates."   Make sure you do not have an override on NJ-1040 line 31. When you look at Form NJ-1040 in forms mode, the space for the amount on line 31 should be white. If it's yellow, right-click the space for the amount. If Cancel Override is one of the choices on the pop-up menu, click on that and see if the amount appears. Where do you see the amount on Worksheet F? NJ-1040 line 31 comes from line 6 of Worksheet F.

I am getting the same error message as other replies, using two different browsers (Google and Google Chrome). Then it just keeps going in circles, having me log in to Wells Fargo again and again and then giving the same error message. There's something wrong with the software. I do a lot of stock trading, and I really need the import feature. Without it, I will be typing the transactions in one-by-one for countless hours.

  The issue is that my stock sales from my federal return are being carried over to Oklahoma Form 561. However, these stock sales are not related to Oklahoma-based property or assets. The stocks I sold are not shares of an Oklahoma corporation, so they should qualify for exclusion. TurboTax instructs me to check the box in the “*” column if the gain or loss qualifies for exclusion. After I check the box during the review process, TurboTax generates an error stating: “Type of property must be selected.” The only available options are: Stock in an Oklahoma corporation Interest in an Oklahoma LLC or Partnership Real property located in Oklahoma Tangible personal property located in Oklahoma Intangible personal property as part of an Oklahoma sale None of these categories apply to my stock sales, since they are not connected to Oklahoma property or entities.

I retired at the end of September 2025; as an employee I was covered by a high-deductible plan and I made contributions to my HSA.  As a retiree I was also covered by a high-deductible retiree plan; I made a contribution to my HSA in 4Q25 to bring me up to the IRS limit for family coverage (including the catch-up contribution for over-55).  Neither my wife nor I were on Medicare at any time during 2025.    However, TurboTax tells me that the contribution I made in 4Q25 is an excess contribution.  My total HSA contribution in 2025 is equal to the IRS limit of $9550 (i.e. $8550 family plan + $1000 catch-up).  Everything I can find online says that as long as I'm enrolled in a high-deductible plan, I can make HSA contributions even as a retiree.  What do I have to do so that TurboTax agrees?
