Have you gotten past entering direct deposit information? If you have a child that qualifies, you will initially see it mentioned after TurboTax says the child qualifies as a dependent, in a blue box. The information for the form is not entered until you are actually filing your return. You will be asked about this after you have entered direct deposit information. This is because it is not actually part of your return.    The Trump Account program doesn't officially begin until July 2026.   This TurboTax article will provide additional information.

It does, or it did for me.   This is what I did (Turbotax Desktop on my computer, Mac version if that matters.)   First, I deleted all the worksheets for charities I did not donate to this year. Second, I entered all the money (cash, credit card, check) donations for all my charities. Third, I entered non-cash items.  I had about 8 donations to Goodwill and 3 to Habitat For Humanity.   For each donation, I picked "household good and clothing" from the drop down menu, entered a value, and picked either "comparative sales" or "thrift shop prices" from the valuation menu.  After clicking Next, the next screen asked for more details about the items.  It was here that I could enter "Christmas decorations" or "used clothing" or "chandelier".  I finished that item, and then clicked "Add a donation" to add another item donation to the same charity for a different day.  Repeat as needed.  When my item total went over $500, Turbotax started asking for the address of the charity as required for form 8283.   After that, I have saved, restarted, and worked on other sections, and nothing in charities has changed.  I did not perform the experiment of going back into Charities to try and add or change something -- no point in causing pain just to prove a point -- but I had no problems going through the interview as intended, as long as I deleted old charities and did all the cash first and saved the items for last. 

You are seeing this because the amount of Medicare taxes withheld in box 6 is Not exactly 1.45% of the Medicare wages in box 5.  Remove any cents for the Medicare taxes and see if the upgrade message goes away. OR - Delete the w-2 and re-enter.  Make sure the amount in box 6 is 1.45% or less of the amount in box 5.

I appreciate the response. When I go to the Investment Section which does say 1099-B I can't find any place to enter the sale information. I've gone back in and the Investment Section takes me to the same funds listed in the Dividends Section above. When I go into the spot for the Wellesley Fund I see only the fields for Dividends which I have already entered but I don't see any field nor am I presented with any questions about selling part of the fund.

Some customers are experiencing issues when trying to file and pay with their refund.  We are investigating this issue.  However, if you would prefer to file now, you can do so by switching to pay your TurboTax fees with a credit card instead of using the pay with my refund option by following these steps.
