I am running TurboTax 2025 on my desktop. I have problems with both my Federal and State returns. I am married and filing jointly. On my federal return, my "taxable income" on line 15 is $86,031. On line 16 the tax on that income is given as $8,094 by Turbotax. I checked the tax on $86,031 for a return being files as married, fiing jointly using the IRA 2025 tax tables. On page 78 of IRS 1040 instructions.pdf page 78 (2025 Tax Table - dated 1/30/2026), it shows that the tax on incomes between $86,000 and $86,050 for married filing jointly is 9,846. How can I resolve this discrepancy? On my Pennsylvania state return my GE pension (converted by GE to an annuity owned by The Northern Trust Company) the amount of my pension ($3,175) is shown as Gross Compansation on line 1 of the return. This is incorrect since pensions are not taxed in Pennsylvania. In past years when I filed my Pennsylvania state tax returns using TurboTax, my GE pension did not appear as Gross Compensation. This error is costing me $97.47 in taxes

As Champ @Bsch4477 suggests, one remedy is to file your return by mail. The IRS does not reject mailed returns. They will process the mailed return that claims your grand child and sort out the duplicate use of her SSN. Someone will face repayment of child-related credits they were not entitled to receive.
Another possibility:
GET IP pin in order to e-file if your dependent’s SSN was claimed on another return

HI- Thank you for your response, I should've specified that I was referring to my jersey state return. Turbotax continues to force the credit versus the deduction.

Please clarify your question with more information about which type of energy credit you are trying to claim and what you are seeing onscreen so that you do not think the program is working properly. Are there error messages or do you simply not get the credit you were expecting?

As shown in the screenshot that @DoninGA provided, there is a box to check in the Other Situations follow-up screen in the W-2 section where you can indicate that Overtime applies and then be provided with more entry screens
For the 2025 tax year, your employer might report your qualified overtime compensation for the year in Box 14 of your W-2 form. You could also receive a separate statement reporting your overtime pay for the year (including if you’re self-employed). If that’s the case, you can rely on the reported amount to calculate the overtime deduction.
If your employer doesn’t use Box 14, or a separate statement reporting your overtime pay isn’t provided, you can use other records – such as earnings statements, pay stubs, invoices, or similar documents – to determine the amount of qualified overtime compensation you received in 2025 (keep those records with your other tax documents).
Also remember that you can only deduct the “overtime premium” portion of your total overtime pay – that is, the “half” portion of the “time-and-a-half” overtime pay required by the FLSA. As a result, if the total of all wages for overtime hours – the overtime premium, plus regular wages – is reported on a separate statement, you have to split out the overtime premium yourself.
The phrase “no tax on overtime” is used to describe a new tax deduction for qualified overtime compensation. This overtime deduction was enacted by the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (also known as the Working Families Tax Cut), which was signed into law on July 4, 2025. However, the deduction is temporary – it only applies for the 2025 through 2028 tax years.
Eligible workers can deduct up to $12,500 of overtime pay earned during the year (up to $25,000 for married couples filing a joint return). But if your income is more than a certain amount, the deduction is gradually phased out – potentially to $0.
You can deduct overtime pay on your federal income tax return only if you:
are covered by and not exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which is the federal law that requires overtime pay for certain workers
have a Social Security number that’s valid for employment and issued before the due date of your return (including extensions)
don’t use the Married Filing Separately filing status

@renneberg Thanks! I was wondering if you might have to delete the entire form if you'd already entered some info for Simplified or General calculations after the NO answer.

Thanks for the screenshot. Can you send me a sanitized file so I can take a closer look? The number will be removed for your safety in your reply but I'll be able to retrieve it. Here's how you can generate the token:
TurboTax Desktop
Open your return.
Click “Online” and select "Send Tax File to Agent".
This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created.
When the token is generated, be prepared to type in your notes or in a message (unable to copy and paste)
Click “OK”. The tax file will then be sanitized and sent to us. This action will generate a Token Number
Please respond directly to this message and provide the Token Number that was generated.

just enter the 1099-R as stated don't change the taxable amount to zero it doesn't mean that's your final tax due. There are supplemental questions after 1099-R entry where you can specify it was all converted to Roth. Then the combination of the non-deductible IRA contribution and 1099-R will do the math on Form 8606 to determine the taxable amount is zero. Follow these steps (with caveat a few steps for desktop referring to "What Did You Do With The Money From This Payer? screen." have still not been updated for the 1099R question changes - where it differs just follow what is on screen). https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/retirement-benefits/enter-backdoor-roth-ira-conversion/L7gGPjKVY_US_en_US

I entered it into the software when the software ask for the 1099-R data. It shows up with the federal group on the Tax Payments Worksheet on line 12) Forms 1099-R. There is both a federal and a state withholdings on the 1099 and they both were input based on the 1099-R input screens which call them out by box number when you put in the 1099-R.

Ah, OK; Needs Review will not prevent completion and e-filing of the return. You can click on Done or Continue to move to the next section. If your return has errors that prevent e-filing, TurboTax will highlight the errors when you do the Complete Check (federal and state final review) before going through the final filing steps.
One thing that may trigger a Needs Review warning may be rounding issues. Does your 1099-G have decimal values in any of the box amounts, i.e. dollars and cents? ($0.00 for example). You could re-enter the amounts as whole numbers rounded up or down to the nearest dollar value. The IRS does not accept decimals on filed forms anyway; they are expecting the software to round all inputs, and so this entering rounded values will not cause a reporting issue.
I would remember the decimals workaround if your 1099-G does cause any e-filing errors, once you are done with all your entries. For the time being, you can proceed with completing your tax return.
