I have found similar questions but not exact to my situation.  In 2024 I made a 4th qtr state (SC) tax payment of $7000.  I entered it in 2024 TT as a 4th quarter payment made on 1/15/2025.  This rolled up with my state withholdings to give a total taxes paid in for 2024 of $35,209 including the 4th qtr estimated payment.   Due to an employer error I ended up with a large refund of $7902 paid in 2025.  On the State and Local Income Tax Refund Worksheet Sch 1 Line 1 2025, in Part 1, line 1 it shows (b) the correct 2024 refund amount of $7902, it shows the correct Estimated Tax Paid after 12/31/2024 (c) of $7000, it shows Total Payments and Witholdings (e) of $35,209  which is correct and finally, it shows Refund Allocated to Column (C) in column (f) of $1571.   I can't tie the $1571 number back to anything so I don't know how it is calculated.  More importantly, the $1571 appears on line 3 as a portion of the refund allocated to tax paid after 12/31/2024 which flows to Sch A line 5a.  It seems like I am double dipping on the credit.  I don't understand why the Line 1 (c) " Estimated tax paid after 12/31/2024" is impacting 2025?  Is there a credit due on $902 ($7902 refund - $7000 est. tax pmt) of real taxes paid in 2025 that were not itemized in 2024?

The reason TurboTax checks Form 8949 by default is because most taxpayers that are required to mail Form 8453 are doing so due to summary sales reporting and need to mail Form 8949 with Form 8453 (cover page) with their transaction detail.   You're right; in your situation you wouldn't need to mail in either Form 8453 or Form 8949 with no summary reporting.  This is the first I've heard of this issue, but I will report it.   @Nitabai

@ahmadka2   you are not alone.  I had the exact same behavior this evening.  When on the "Great job getting through your federal taxes" page and AI summary on the right, I owed $1560 in federal taxes.  When I clicked through the 'federal review' screen, taxes owed went up to $2,626.  I had already inputted my income and deductions fully.  I cannot explain it and now I'm frustrated because I don't know if it's right.  To add, this is my second time through.  I completely wiped and restarted.  Now I wish I would have just clicked the 'Review' section and skip the State taxes section as I'm in Texas.
How do I add the excess to Schedule 3, Part II, Line 11 when TurboTax won't let me use that form?
TT is showing $10,314 tax on $89,902 line 15 Taxable Income. The Federal tax tables show $120 lower tax amount of $10,194 for a married couple. How do I get TT to pull in the correct tax amount?

Yes, an inground pool is considered a permanent fixture and a capital improvement for tax purposes. You can add the installation cost to your home's cost basis, which will reduce  any capital gains tax when you sell it. It doesn't provide  tax deduction, but it increases your home's value for tax calculation purposes. Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.

I have the same issue. I spend almost 3 hours with turbotax support. Nothing they can do. They even tried to "explain" to me that offer is not valid, but I received about 15 emails with this offer, and the text says "valid until April 15" If I knew this will be a huge problem I'd install desktop version, like I used to do for many years... I don't understand why Intuit sent these emails if they evet their support has no idea what it is and can't help? So, if there is any solution, I'll appreciate to hear about it. Thanks
