Not sure what you are trying to do.  A self employment business return goes on schedule C in your personal 1040 tax return.  You don't file it separately.  Do you mean you need to do a tax return for a different person?   Sorry Online is only good for 1 return per account. And you need a different email address for each account. You can start another return in TurboTax Online by: Logging out if you are in your account Choose what TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/compare/online Create your account screen Set up a new login for the second return Start working on the new return Or use the Desktop program. The Desktop program can do unlimited returns and efile 5 for free. And you can use any Desktop version, they all have the same forms. So you could use a lower version than you might need in the Online version.

You can not upload Form(s) SSA-1099/1099-SM in TurboTax. They must be entered manually. The 1099-SM is a self-mailer form of Form 1099-SSA.    To enter your 1099-SM you will:  Click on "Search" at the top right of your TurboTax screen Type "Form 1099-SSA"  in the search bar  Click on the link that says "Jump to Form SSA-1099" Your screen will say, "Did you receive Social Security or Railroad Retirement Benefits in 2025? Click on Yes. Your next screen will say Tell us about the benefits you received. Select Social Security benefits. And Continue Enter your information and Continue Answer all follow-up questions to complete your entry. See also:    Where do I enter an SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM, or SSA-1099-R-OP1? Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.

You can either enter it in the expense section of your Schedule C with a description that will help you recall what it is such as "income earned in year 20XX" or if the income is entered as cash and not via 1099-NEC you can simply reduce that number by the appropriate amount.    

Hello.  Hope you are doing great.  I think I need the help of a human at Intuit to timely fix a programming error by the IRS or Intuit.   I wrote yesterday: "I, too, entered the correct 2024 AGI.  The Federal and the associated State of Kansas submissions are rejected.  I see answers that suggest to enter "0" for the AGI or snail mail it.  No advice explained what to do about the money that was sent to IRS on my credit card and the Intuit fee for the state submission both being collected again.  Please point me to a more comprehensive answer and settlement."   I haven't seen a response.  To better clarify, I hope, I want to resubmit my son's taxes to IRS and State of Kansas before the 15th, but would like your professional help on how to do it to avoid paying again.  The Intuit turbotax app is directing me to resubmit everything again with duplicate payments instead a necessary human intervention to connect to my earlier credit card payments of $256 to IRS and the $20 to Intuit for the state Kansas electronic filing.   dalebunn

Turbo tax online has restrictions when filing MFJ on Fed and both husband and wife live in different states. In this situation, TurboTax recommends using Desktop version, create MFJ for Fed and make a copy of the file and change status to MFS on state, remove partners income and file State as MFS manually.    How do I prepare a joint federal return and separate state returns? In this case, if the properties are co-owned, the income, expenses and depreciation has to be split 50/50. What a pain.

In the TurboTax Deluxe, there is no Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN. In the Forms section, there is a Federal Tax Info page (labeled "Info Wks"). In that form, at the bottom of the page, has space for both last year, and this years PIN. However, neither allows for 6 digits. I go to the IRS. On the IRS main page, a banner indicates "If you accessed your IP Pin on Jan 6, 2026, Due to a programming issue an incorrect IP PIN displayed on Jan 6, 2026. This has been fixed the the correct IP PIN is now in your Identify Protection PIN (IP Pin). Following the link, to the IP PIN page, it shows my pin as a 6 digits. Any workaround? Thanks
