   When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.   Each return needs its own account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596 @ediedillon

The 2025 TurboTax software is download only, there are no disks. If you have the license code you can download your purchase from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/install-turbotax/

Obviously I have internet access or I couldn't write and send this note!!!   Purchased the Premier TT at Costco....but never even get a chance to validate with the activation code....   Mac Sequoia 15.7.3       Leo

Someone else reported that the Monday 12 January update fixed an issue where certain folks, who are running a small Self-employed business, ........they needed to create W-2 or 1099-NEC forms to issue to their employees....but the forms that printed had year 2024 printed on them and not 2025.  That year labeling was fixed for them.   A  Monday morning update is pretty unusual....but no, it didn't implement the 1099-R entry area yet.   Don't know what else they might have dealt with, yet.

> Can you figure out what was updated?  I don't see any change. . .    I'm sure something changed, but not the qualified retirement account distribution section which is what I need before the end of 2025 .. oh wait, it's the middle of January.   I remember the good old days when each TurboTax update came with release notes of what was changed or fixed.  

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/ Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)   If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.   If you have a 6 digit Identity Protection PIN issued to you by the IRS then you will to manually entered that PIN on page 2 of the Form 1040 to the right of the signature block. The 2023 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.

You probably entered something wrong when entering her as your dependent. Go back to the My Info section of the online program and edit her information.  Make sure that you selected that she was your daughter and lived in your home for the entire year,  Also, that there was no one else in the household providing support to her.  Finally, on the screen for entering her Social Security number, make sure the box labeled Not valid for employment is NOT checked.   If everything looks good and you are still not getting child tax credit eligibility, delete her as your dependent and re-enter.
