You only needed AGI in order to e-file.   E-filing is now permanently closed for 2024 or any earlier year returns, so AGI no longer matters.   The only way you can file your 2024 tax return now is by mail.   Print it, sign and date it in ink, and mail it in an envelope.     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 certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

This is not helpful.    You are suggesting that we try to fix a 'family trust' issue with a toxic environment.  I was chosen as Trustee years ago to act as a neutral unbiased family member, Switzerland so to speak, and I have accomplished that.  I have already consulted 2 attorneys, one who referred the estate that birthed the irrevocable Trust, and neither one recommends reopening this issue unless we want to spend alot of money, frustration, and pain for something that cannot be fixed.  The attorneys 'know' the family dynamics are so negative that parties would rather burn it down then concede a small win to anyone.  I agree, the management expenses are small compared to the other.    So I am going with my attorney's recommendation that I file Schedule F (Farmers return) show my Trustee income and then show the actual expenses on Schedule F as I have a receipt for everything.  If questioned, we can quickly show that these farm management expenses generate substantial income for the pass-through trust which is reported on Schedule K for 6 beneficiaries.  My expenses are not a 'hobby farm'.  Do this until the Trust reaches its scheduled termination in a decade.    

@wrshirleytaxes101 my guess is the email from 10/23 was referring to online version not desktop.   if it turns out online premier version will work for you note Intuit is offering to switch from desktop to that for no extra charge.  There should be a prompt when you try to install it and details of that offer.   there is also a way to upgrade Win 10 to Win 11 without the TPM requirement if your machine is otherwise ok, but I don't know the tech details.   alternatively if none of this works out you should be able to get a refund from Intuit and switch to alternative s/w.   also consider if you are on Win 10 ESU you will need to move to Win 11 some time before next October, so you could also check out Win 11 upgrade options over the holidays, otherwise you have to change tax process then likely still upgrade to Win 11 after filing.  The s/w is not fully ready yet anyway, the 1099B section is not available and online not available til mid Dec.  There will be a lot updates coming due to the big tax bill, so nothing is really ready yet and you have some time to consider your options.

if you go through interview section rather than forms mode it says "This section is unavailable while we work on updates for recent tax law changes." and gives you a link to sign up for alerts   Expect a lot of s/w updates coming.  Charitable donation section not working yet either.  Online system is available mid Dec.

I had a problem running TT2024 on Windows 11 last year, so had to run it on my W10 laptop.  Every time that W11 updated the authentication key for my TurboTax was no longer functional.  I went through all 5 uses of the key and had to buy a new license to finish my return.  Do you know it this issue has been fixed now for Windows 11 TT 2025?  Thanks Kurt
