 You will be able to access the 2024 return you started by using the exact same account and user ID that you used when you started it.   But you can no longer use online software for any further changes.       Start a 2025  return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.   Online tax preparation and e-filing for 2024  returns is now permanently closed.    Now it is too late to use online software or to e-file. If you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2024 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac  (not to a mobile device).Then you need to print, sign and mail it.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/finish-prior-year-return-started-turbotax-online/L9Oe4M90A_US_en_US?uid=m68tffpe   If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.   They are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time Monday - Friday   https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899263-what-is-the-turbotax-phone-number     If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.  

It depends. If you did have a job and you received a W-2 you can follow the instruction from xmasbaby0.  If you had a job that was considered independent or self employed then you may have state tax due if you didn't pay any estimated tax payments.   If the income was from something other than a job, it is also possible the state tax was not withheld or paid.   If you have more questions, please add them here and we will help you.

Yes, you have to file a Form 1041 for the trust and a Form 1040 for your personal income and expenses.   The Form 1041 can only be completed and filed using the TurboTax Business Edition.  The Business Edition can only be installed on a Windows based computer, not online or on a Mac.  The Business Edition cannot be used to complete a personal tax return, Form 1040.

Non-taxable lawsuit settlements do not have to be reported on the tax return.  See this example from IRS publication 4345.   If you receive a settlement for personal physical injuries or physical sickness and did not take an itemized deduction for medical expenses related to the injury or sickness in prior years, the full amount is non-taxable. Do not include the settlement proceeds in your income.

Confirming that this is also an issue for me. There is no way to account for decentralized crypto transactions or exchanges that do not provide a 1099-DA. I will never use TurboTax again if I am going to be required to manually enter hundreds to thousands of transactions for each decentralized wallet or exchange. It doesn't seem to make sense to not provide a way to upload transactions in bulk.

For certain new cars purchased in 2025: CAR LOAN INTEREST Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Cars and Other Things You Own>Car Loan Interest The amount will go on Schedule 1a and end up on Form 1040 on line 13b  

Yes.   In TurboTax, use only one account and use the account of the spouse you will be listing first on your Married Filing Jointly return.   When you file a Married Filing Jointly return, one spouse will be listed first and the IRS will file this return under that Social Security Number.  You should always use that same name order for all the future returns you use.    @elbigperro     

$31500 + 1600 + 1600 = 34700 ... not 33700   Totals on other websites are as high as 47500 after adding the additional 12000 bonus deduction.   The numbers are all over the place ... my Turbo Tax is only showing 34700 for the Std Deduction ...

Yes, you should amend the Form 8606 to include the accurate amount on the tax return. Amended forms (1040-X) will be available later this month. You have time to get it done.

Go back to your W-2 information to edit the KY employer number.  Here are the steps to take:   In TurboTax online, go to the left menu under Federal and click Wages and Income Click on Add/Edit for Wages and Salaries (W2) Click Edit by your W-2 on the W-2 Summary Screen. Click Continue on the screen "OK, let's update the info we have for you and your employer" Scroll down to the State taxes area.  For the Employer's state ID number enter three zeros in front of the six digit KY employer state ID number.

According to artificial intelligence browser, the turbotax csv software is going through maintenance from Intuit side.  Estimates predict that they should be functioning by mid february the latest. (Hopefully).   Koinly support also told me that this is the case and that they wouldn't provide refund as it isn't their fault. And hopefully an intuit representative will respond with confirmation seeing how they won't give us phone number to technical support. Not just coinlyThis is an issue with all third party crypto texts ledger apps.

Your part in fixing this is to wait until your return has been fully processed and you have received you refund.  THEN you need to file an amended return, called a 1040X, to change the way you answered that question in My  Info about whether you can be claimed as someone else’s dependent.    Your parents have two possible remedies----and they do not have to wait for you to amend.  Waiting will not help them at all.   They can file their return that claims you by mail.  They will have to print, sign and date their return and mail it to the IRS and state.     Or..   GET IP pin in order to e-file if your dependent’s SSN was claimed on another return   https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-takes-steps-to-help-prevent-refund-delays-by-accepting-duplicate-dependent-returns-with-an-ip-pin-for-2025-filing-season-taxpayers-encouraged-to-sign-up-soon-for-ip-pin-online-account     https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/get-an-identity-protection-pin
