That may well be but my point is: Save to PDF presents a standard Windows Save as box I entered a valid Windows filename. TT is truncating a valid filename. You're explaining how to work around a bug. I'm reporting it as a bug, not a feature. If you could please pass it along to development.

You do not need to find the Fair Market Value to enter the merchandise as the number you need to enter is already reported on the 1099-Misc, which is the number the IRS is expecting to see. You would not enter your own FMV as you would then be double reporting the same income.    The company sending you the 1099-Misc will generally use the FMV  to enter as the value on the 1099.     If you want to double check the numbers, you can generally find the Fair Market Value by looking at the site or store that sent you the product to see what they are selling the product for.  For example, if you are doing Amazon Vine and they send you a new pair of sunglasses, you would go to Amazon and look up that exact pair of sunglasses to see the selling price.  That would be the FMV.  This is generally the amount that is reported on your 1099-Misc, so all the items you received should total up what was reported on your form. However, sometimes products seem to be permanently discounted, so they may use those prices instead.            

This error can occur if you enter an "o" instead of "0" zero. You can also delete the form, and re-post it!   Delete a form Online 2025 Select Tax Tools (You may have to scroll down on the left sidebar menu.) On the drop-down select Tools On the Pop-Up menu, select Delete a Form  This will show all of the forms in your return  Scroll down to the form you want to delete  Select the Trash Can Click on Delete.  Always use extreme caution when deleting information from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.     

@agustina_singh    1)   If the $$ amount in box 12 of a 1099-DIV isn't too large, you can just select the  "Multiple States" selection for the "...one state..." bullet point and be done with it.   That "Multiple States" selection is at the very end/bottom of the pop-up list of states.   2)   IF you do want to try a breakdown, then yes, you do have to use the % values to calculate what the amount are...BUT...you only do it for your home state, and any US Territory bond amounts..and the remaining amount is just assigned as "Multiple States".       To do #2 for a 1099-DIV, it is critical that you must first select the first ..."one state"... bullet point and set it to "Multiple States".... and only then.... select the second bullet point to display the boxes to make the breakdown entries.   Note also, that residents of IL are not allowed to do a breakdown of states for Mutual Bond funds...and all $$ must be designated as "Multiple States".   CA and MN residents also have limitations where you must essentially have bond funds that specifically invest in their own state's bonds...otherwise all $$ must be assigned as "Multiple States". ____________________________ I'll post some pictures later this morning when I get to the computer that has my examples.    

Take a look at the following TurboTax help article and be sure you have used these steps to report your backdoor Roth IRA conversion.  It would probably be best to delete the entries you have made so far related to the IRA contribution and distribution/conversion and start from scratch.   How do I enter a backdoor Roth IRA conversion?  

Good afternoon from Paris, It is now 1APR2026, months after the original issue was raised, and the TurboTax folks STILL have NOT fixed the problem. I've been searching the recommended online work arounds and none seem to come close to working. I'm working with: a MS Surface Laptop; MS 11 OS; and a Chrome brouser. This is the last straw with Turbo Tax... Would not be suprised if it's a ploy to entice you to go with their more expensive live advisors... and avoid the grief.   I'm guessing the onlything that will get their attention is  Class Action Lawsuit...

I'm seeing exactly what you describe EXCEPT before I hit Save I'm prepending a few characters to the filename. I change the filename to 1. 2024 Doe J Form 1040 Individual Tax Return_Records.pdf then click Save. The file is saved as filename 1.pdf

Click on Final Review on the left side of the online program screen.  After completing the review you will then be in the File section of the program.   You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".   After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

You don't.  As a resident of Hawaii, all of your income, even from other states is taxable to Hawaii unless specifically excluded from taxation under HI tax laws.  Rental income from other states is not excluded.      For most states, if you have a property you pay taxes to the state the property is in, then you take a credit or deduction (depending on how the state works) for taxes paid to the other state.  However, since TX does not have any state income tax, you would just report the income from the rental property on your HI return and pay taxes to HI for the income. 

That screen will only come up if you are allowed to make a deductible contribution and you have a choice to make it non-deductible.     If you are not eligible to make a non-deductible contribution due to your income, then the contribution is automatically non-deductible.

Since you were using the TurboTax online editions for the 2024 tax return and did two tax returns, then the charges would be accurate since you can only complete and file one tax return per account and User ID with the online editions.  You had to create a new account with a new User ID for the second tax return.   One account used the Deluxe online edition and the other account used the Premium online edition.

I am unable to replicate the situation you described using TurboTax Online Premium.  The inputs for entering a personal contribution to an HSA are still coming up for me.  It is showing right after entering information or answering the question about having a Form 1099-SA for distributions from the HSA.     In order to take a closer look at the situation you described and forward it to the development team, they will need a diagnostic tax data file demonstrating the circumstance.  If you would be willing to provide a diagnostic copy of your return, that would be helpful.  The diagnostic file will not contain personally identifiable information, only numbers related to your tax forms.     To provide us with the diagnostic file, follow the instructions below and post the token number along with which version of TurboTax you are using (if not using TurboTax Online, Premium version) in a follow-up thread.   Use these steps if you are using TurboTax Online:   Sign in to your account and be sure you are in your tax return. Select Tax Tools in the menu to the left. Select Tools. Select Share my file with agent. A pop-up message will appear, select OK to send the sanitized diagnostic copy to us. Post the token number here.    If you are using a CD/downloaded version of TurboTax, use these steps:   Select Online at the top of the screen. Select Send Tax File to Agent. Click OK. Post the token number here.   If you are using a Mac version of TurboTax, use these steps:   Go to the Menu at the top of the screen and select Help. Then, Send Tax File to Agent. Post the token number here. @gauravj116  @Nitesh-k-yadav 

Form 5498 is for information only. You do not enter it on your tax return. The RMD information for 2026 gives the RMD which you have to take before 12/31/2026.   Please read this TurboTax Help article for more information.

The message from TurboTax is only an estimate based on the IRS averages.   Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.
