Just wanted to chime in to say "me too". I'm a Windows desktop Deluxe user. Bear in mind we're asking about when the step-by-step interview section will be ready. We can all see the underlying form 5695 is ready.  

Texas does not have a state income tax, so you don't need to file a Texas tax return.  However, your husband needs to file an Oklahoma state tax return for the income earned there (OK does not tax income earned in TX).     Just be sure to indicate in the Personal Information section that he lived in Texas in 2025, and the date he moved to Oklahoma in 2025.   When you fill out your Federal tax return (including a Schedule C for his lawn care business), he will need to include his income from OK and TX.  The software program will route the correct income information to the correct states.

I loaded the Jan 21 update today (Jan 22), and sure enough, the Home Credits still say "Available Soon". Come on, TurboTax people, this is getting ridiculous that you cannot by Jan 22 have your software ready for these inputs.   

check this page for availability. It's only an estimate. Some will be available sooner. Others later. make sure you  select your version at the top  https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product=Turbotax_online&bu=cg 

Yes, you can clear all of your data by selecting Clear and Start over.   If you haven't filed your tax return, and want to start over: Log back into TurboTax Select an Item like Personal Info from the center listing Then click on Preview/Edit or Continue This will turn on the left side menu In the bottom left choose Switch Products Then select Clear and Start Over @Evelou 

Arizona Form 1040PTC, Property Tax Refund (Credit) Claim, is estimated to be available for printing on 02/07/2026.  It cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.   https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product=Turbotax_online&bu=cg

Thanks for the quick response. I am using online, should I use desktop?   I followed your steps but there is still no area to edit by tax details, which is where the business code is or at the top of the section under work industry.   I can edit every other section besides under work industry and also under business code

You may have to wait until you receive the W-2 from your employer or receive a replacement W-2 from your employer if you need the W-2 to determine your overtime premium.    You may also review your final paystub for the year to determine your overtime premium.   For many, the deduction amount is the “half” portion of “time-and-a-half” compensation that is required by the Fair Labor Standards Act and reported on a Form W-2, Form 1099, or other specified statement furnished to the individual.   Paystubs may report either:   the full overtime pay, or the "half" portion. As an example, if the employee’s regular rate of pay is $20 per hour and the employee worked one hour of overtime, the employee’s full overtime pay would be $30 ($20 x 1.5).     If the full overtime pay is reported, the qualified overtime for deduction purposes is equal to one-third of total overtime: $30 / 3 = $10.   The "half" portion and the employee’s qualified overtime would be $10 ($30 overtime pay less $20 regular pay).    For the deduction for qualified overtime:    Maximum annual deduction is $12,500 ($25,000 for joint filers). Deduction phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $150,000 ($300,000 for joint filers). The deduction reduces federal income tax liability, it does not exempt overtime pay from Social Security and Medicare taxes.  Employees will still owe these taxes on their overtime earnings. Taxpayers filing as married filing separately are not eligible for the deduction. The deduction is available for both itemizing and non-itemizing taxpayers.

OK, downloaded the update and was able to do my taxes except I had to calculate what will be on the 1099INT from my bank. I still have to receive the physical 1099R (for my IRA) and 1099G for the state tax refund I received last year, though.

I am the original poster.  I used the "Forms" radio button to look at what was causing the problem.  In the "Forms" section, the question "Is this an inherited IRA" was checked.  It is NOT an inherited IRA.     Once I unchecked that box in the forms section, things returned to normal.  Also, a "New" question appeared in the step by step process.  Similar to year 2024, it asked me if the entire amount that I withdrew counts towards my RMD.  This hadn't appeared earlier before I found that inherited IRA box checked in forms.   I went back and reviewed the step by step questions looking for any box I might have checked asking if the IRA was inherited but, I didn't find any obvious selection that I might have made.   So, I'm at a bit of a loss as to why the inherited IRA box got checked but refund is back to proper amount AND the step by step asks me the question similar to year 2024 about how much of the withdrawal applies to year 2025 RMD on 31 December 2025.  Geez.

it's not a credit, it's a deduction computed in Part V. The calculation should be automatic. Check the birth dates entered in your personal info. You and/or your spouse must have a valid Social Security number. If married, you must file jointly to claim this deduction. You get $0 if your modified adjusted gross income is $250,000 or more (line 3) 

What version are you using Online or Desktop ?  You can type business code into the search box at the top of your return and hit the return key. It should give you a Jump To link to take you right to it. Then click on Jump to business code Click on Edit or Review by your Business name Click Edit by General Info at the top Go down to Tax Details
