Form 8962 is trying to make calculations from your 1095-A.  Go back and look for zero or blank and do the opposite.  Check for shared policy allocation You may need to delete the 1095-A, log out and then come back in and re-enter the form. If you don't have 1095-A, delete the 8962.

I don't know if this issue is still being worked on to resolve the 'bug' so I just wanted to give a more complete explanation for what may have been the problem. I'm sure you have other problems that are consuming your time that makes it difficult to remember all the details of every issue.   Thanks and I appreciate all your help.   Neil 

Once the amend return section is available, you can use it to amend your return. Basically, you will add the missing Form 1099-R like you would have normally and electronically file the amended return to the IRS. Since it was a ROTH IRA distribution, it may not affect your tax, since most ROTH IRA distributions are not taxable.

You will only report income in the state that you lived in or worked in.  So if you were a resident of NY then NJ for a short period of time and did not receive any income during that time, you would not  need to file a tax return for NJ or NY. If you started receiving income one a resident of PA, then you would file as a part year resident since you were only a resident of PA for part of the year.   When you say you were a temporary resident, does that mean you came to the US from another country so that is the reason you had your first job in PA or did you recently graduate or move out from living with your parents and that is why you had your first job?  If it is because you came from another country, then be sure that you are considered a Resident for tax purposes prior to filing with TurboTax.  If you did not meet the substantial presence test or are a Green card holder, then you would need to file a 1040 NR which TurboTax does not support, but our partner Sprintax.com does.  They can help you with both your federal and your state returns. 

Hi! I am running my son's taxes for him and he has this exact scenario where tips are lumped into box 1 and shown nowhere else on his W-2.  He does have the total for 2025 shown on his final paystub of the year.  Is there any news on when to expect the update to TurboTax to support this? Thanks!

You will want to review your Form 1040 for 2024. Line 24 is where your total tax liability is reported. The sections that follow show your payments against that liability, like withholding. Any balance due was reported line 37.   @wmc322 

@danimee6    I just had another user who has this issue delete his state return and was successful filing. He didn't need to file a state return, but went through the state process to make sure he didn't need to file it. He deleted that state return and filed his Federal. His just got accepted by the IRS.     Can you try this and let me know if you are successful? Thank you!

@CatinaT1  can you please escalate this and  get our processing fees refunded- this has been a headache to say the least. Now we’re at risk of being double charged. I think after this we should not be charged at all. I tried but it will not accept my order number and I input all info correctly multiple times.
