On the screen with the heading "Enter major purchases" you entered the item type, description, cost, and sales tax. When you click Continue on that screen, what is the next screen that you get? Are you using TurboTax Online or the TurboTax Desktop software? If you are using the desktop software, is it in Windows or on a Mac? What version are you using (Deluxe, Premier, etc.)? If you are using the desktop software, make sure you have the most recent updates.  

 You can just cross out the amount and write in a new amount.    Or pay the IRS directly online.   Try this IRS link. Pick 2025 or 2026 1040ES payment https://directpay.irs.gov/directpay/payment?execution=e1s1  

@1421windsong  I hate to keep asking for clarification, but I'm not getting the answers I need to understand.   From January 1 to Sept 2, you were a permanent resident of VA, and you worked in DC.   From Sept 5 to October 19, you lived in New Hampshire.  At that time, did you consider New Hampshire to be your new permanent home (domicile), or did you still consider yourself domiciled in Virginia?   From October 20 through December 31, you were a travel nurse in California.  At that time, did you consider New Hampshire to be your permanent home, or was Virginia your permanent home throughout that time?  Or is California your new permanent home?   Your statement about completing a lease confuses me.  If you had a lease in VA that had ended when you moved someplace else, you are probably not domiciled in VA after the lease ended.   From my guess about how you will answer these clarifications, you should be able to prepare your own return with Turbotax.  (Especially since NH does not have a state income tax.)  The Live Chat Assist and Live Full Service programs are certainly valuable for people who need them, although I have never used them.    

Did you import his W2?  Try deleting it and enter it manually. To enter a W2 Federal on left or top (Personal in Home & Business) Click on Wages and Income tab Then Wages and Salaries Wages and Salaries – Start (you might have to click on Show More on right) To enter a W2 manually do NOT enter the EIN Just hit Continue Then in pick the Left box - Type it in myself - Continue

Probably not at all.   Intuit's most profitable segment is their Global Business Solutions Group which does NOT include TurboTax.   The Global Business Solutions Group revenue grew 16% and Credit Karma revenue grew 32%, while Tax groups came in last with revenue growing at 10%.   Desktop units of TurboTax already declined 4% from 2024 to 2025. The LIVE service revenue grew the most at 47% with 24% growth in LIVE customers. If you ran this company, what would what be your primary focus?

Wait until your original 2024 return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US?uid=m76mq6z2       Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return  

You have not asked a question or mentioned a tax year.     I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE IRS/STATE     TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-audit/turbotax-audit-support/L6AcMoNFD_US_en_US?uid=m5z7by9u     https://intuit.taxaudit.com/audit-defense/help/contact     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/got-cp2000-notice-irs/L7Da6em2t_US_en_US?uid=m4of6ngd  

OK, well......   If I didn't go to CA for a temporary assignment (10/20-12/31/2025), my primary location was VA as I had completed a 2 year lease prior.     I left my license as is in NH as I don't have a car and was back there between moves.   So, would I split both as part time, or use VA as primary?    Also, I saw Turbo tax does allow a person to use them to complete their taxes.   Any thoughts on this service?  Rather pay the $150 than worry I am completing this incorrectly.   Thanks
