There are a couple ways to do this.    Sign in to the Intuit Account Manager. Select Data privacy from the left-side menu. Look for "Data used for Intuit products" or "Personalized experiences." If your consent is listed there, you can toggle it off.    Or you do this by contacting Intuit’s privacy team. Send them an email saying: "I am revoking my consent for Intuit to use or disclose my tax return information for any purpose other than the preparation and filing of my 2025 tax return." You can send this to: privacy@intuit.com

@Doesitmatter  @DC433    If you click on Visit All by Retirement Plans and SS you do get the message - This section will be ready soon.    But you can click on the next line down by Social Security to enter SS. I never use the Visit All button.  

Change in the tax laws is the reason for the delay. Even the IRS website does not have all the forms and instructions or worksheets for 2025 posted.   The first day available to file with the IRS is January 26.

It is very difficult to use medical expenses as an itemized deduction, so if you will not have enough to enter, the x-ray fee will have no effect anyway.   We cannot tell you how to obtain that fee--you could try calling your primary care physician's office to see what lab they got results from and then seek out the statement.  Or check your credit card and bank statements to see if you made a payment to a lab.  You can only enter the part that you paid for yourself.   MEDICAL EXPENSES The medical expense deduction has to meet a rather large threshold before it can affect your return. The amount of medical (including dental, vision, etc.)  expenses that will count toward itemization is the amount that is OVER 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You should only enter the amount that you paid in 2025—do not include any amounts that were covered by insurance or that are still outstanding.  Of course, your medical expenses plus your other itemized deductions still have to exceed your standard deduction before you will see a difference in your tax due or refund.   To enter your medical expenses go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Medical>Medical Expenses       2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS SINGLE $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind + $2000) MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind +1600) MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500  (65 or older/legally blind + $1600) HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)

Is your income listed in Box 1 on your W-2 more than 176,100? If so, the full tip amount you reported to your employer on Form 4070 may not be listed in Box 7 on your W-2 since Box 7 on your W-2 only reports Social Security Tips.   To clarify, is this the situation you are experiencing?  If so, what is reported on your W-2 Box 1 and on your W-2 Box 8?    @Lakeviewotter 

Here is how you can fix your rejected 2024 return.   TurboTax Online:  Sign in to TurboTax and go to Your tax returns & documents. Select 2024 and click Add a State (this is a trick to "open" the return without actually adding a state). Fix the error that caused the original rejection Go to the File section and change your filing method to File by Mail. Print the return, sign and date it in ink, and mail it to the IRS.

Thanks.  Do I have to file a return under the deceased person's social security number as well and issue from them to me a 1099 for nominee distribution?  There was no probate and thus there is no EIN for their estate.

Here how to handle this so your payment goes through without causing issues with the IRS.   In TurboTax, the address you enter in the "My Info" section needs be your actual address in Turkey. This is the address the IRS will use to mail you any official correspondence or a paper check if a direct deposit fails.   When you get to the "File" section to pay your TurboTax fees, the software requires a U.S. billing address for credit card verification. If your U.S. card is still registered to an old U.S. address, you will need to go back to the My Info section and temporarily change your mailing address to the U.S. address associated with your credit card.   Go to the File section and process your payment. It should go through now because the addresses match. Immediately after the payment is successful, go back to My Info and change your address back to Turkey before you hit the final "Submit/E-file" button.

Try going to the Personal Info section in TurboTax and make your name, SSN, and especially your physical address match exactly what is listed in your Credit Karma app. If you moved recently and updated one but not the other, the link will fail for security reasons.
