Thank you for the reply.  I had gone ahead and listed Georgia (where I live), and then lumped everything else into "Multiple Other States."  After seeing your message, I went back and amended the return, separating out American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.  Interestingly, it didn't change the return at all, so I didn't file the amended return.  

When you prepared 2025 did you use the same account and user ID that you used for 2024?   If you use the same account and user ID consistently then your information transfers from one year to the next.   If you do not use the same account and user ID, the software cannot/does not pull information from returns prepared using a different account.

If your tax return was rejected because someone else claimed your dependent, you cannot fix this right away because the IRS system already has the dependent’s information.   First, I suggest you make sure your dependent meets all the IRS criteria to be claimed by you. These include: Relationship (Be your son, daughter, or other). Age (be under 19 or under 24 if a full-time student). Residency (If they live with you for more than half the year), support (Get more than half their financial support from you).   Open here General rules for dependents to see more IRS qualifications.    If you are sure you are the one entitled to claim the dependent, you will need to file your return by mail. Sign in to your TurboTax account, go to the My Info section, select Edit next to the dependent, and make sure their Social Security Number is correct. Proceed to the File section. When asked how you want to file, select File by Mail instead of E-file. Print, sign, and mail your tax return. You must also attach your documents, such as W-2s, 1099s, and any other documents. Open the link below, to see more details. How do I fix e-file reject IND-507-01?   Also, see the following link to learn how to handle when someone else claims your dependent: What if somebody already claimed my dependent?  

So, do you agree that it is a bug with TurboTax? Should it not be reported and fixed? You guarantee accurate returns with maximum refund, and this bug generates a wrong return/ excess tax payments (SE tax) with truthful answers. This is sheer violation of all those guarantees! There may be so many who didn't pay attention to the silently generated Schedule C and the wrongful, excess tax payments. Are you waiting for a class action?

You can enter the sale in either the K-1 entry section or the investment sales section, but not both. Since it appears you have a Form 1099-B it would be best to report the sale in the investment section and not in the K-1 section, as the IRS will scrutinize the 1099-B entry more than the K-1 entry.

USER ERROR WITH SOCIAL SECURITY ENTRY We have seen a lot of people who made a user error with the entry of their SSA1099.   The screen right after you enter the SSA1099 asks you if you lived in certain foreign countries in 2025.   If you skipped past that screen or answered incorrectly, your Social Security was not taxed correctly.   Look at your Form 1040 and see if line 6b was left blank due to that mistake.  The IRS is catching those mistakes and correcting them by reducing your refund or increasing your tax due.   It is really so important to read every screen slowly and carefully from top to bottom as you prepare your tax return to avoid errors.
