I assume that you are referring to form 1095-A.   You need to enter this form 1095-A in your tax return if you have a Marketplace health policy. This is how you enter it:   In TurboTax Online, open your return Click on Search (magnifying glass icon) at the top right of your screen In the Search box, enter form 1095-A and click on the magnifying glass icon In the search result box, click on Jump to form 1095-A TurboTax will take you directly to the section where you can start entering your form 1095-A.

Yes, you can go back through the EITC section to review or change the answers to the questions regarding EITC.  Go to Deductions and Credits > You and Your Family > Earned Income Credit (EIC) then click Update to go through that section again.  

TurboTax asks you for your previous year's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) as the IRS requires this to validate your identity for electronic filing.   Please follow the instructions in this TurboTax Help topic on How do I find last year’s AGI?

You must have a High deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to contribute to a HSA.   To see if your health plan is a HDHP, check it against the definition of a HDHP in this TurboTax Help article.   If your health plan in 2025 meets the definition of a HDHP, you can make contributions to a HSA until April 15, 2026.   See this TurboTax Help article for more information about the HSA and the contribution limits.

How do I go about finding that refund?"   Do you know if the 2023 return was successfully filed?   If you efiled it, did you get emails indicating it was transmitted and accepted for processing?    Or did you file on paper by mail?   Start by checking the IRS website's "Where's My Refund" tracker tool for tax year 2023:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds Does it find your 2023 return, and if so, what message is shown?   TIP:    When using that tool, select the correct tax year of 2023,  indicate the filing status you used for 2023, your SSN, and the refund amount shown on your 2023 Form 1040, Line 35a.

No one can get the 2024 AGI for you.   But we can tell you how you can get it.    How was your 2024 return prepared?   If prepared in Online TurboTax, we can tell you how to find the account with the 2024 return.   Another option if you have an online IRS account is to get the 2024 AGI from that account.

Did you already buy the desktop software then found you can't install it?   If so, at the bottom of this posting I will tell you how you can move to TurboTax Online Premium Edition for no extra fee, and you will get 1 Federal return and 1state return if you file by April 16.   There is no efiling fee in Online TurboTax.   Be aware that Online TurboTax is only good for 1 Federal return per account.  If you have to prepare more than 1 Federal return such as for family, you would need multiple accounts and separate fees.  And unlike the desktop software there is no Forms Mode for direct viewing/editing of forms.     If you haven't bought desktop software, and just start out on your own in Online TurboTax, the fee for Online Deluxe after 3/31/2026 is showing at $79 for Federal.    A state return is showing at $64 after 3/31/2026.  There is no efiling fee in Online TurboTax.   So with both returns that would total $143 for Deluxe, plus possible sales tax.   NOTE:  You may or may not be able to use Online Deluxe.  If you are accustomed to desktop Deluxe, be aware that Online Deluxe cannot handle everything.    It cannot prepare Schedule C with expenses, Schedule D (gains/losses from stocks/bonds/mutual funds, etc.), Schedule E (rental/royalty), Schedule F (Farm), and cannot enter information from a K-1.    If you have any of those things,  you would need Premium Edition, which after 3/31/2026 would be $139 for Federal return and $64 for a state return.   If you already bought desktop software and discovered that you can't install it, see this FAQ below about a special migration offer.  When you try to install the 2025 software on a Windows 10 computer, you should get a screen saying it cannot be installed on Windows 10, and it will ask you if you want to move to  Online TurboTax instead for 1 Federal return and 1 state return at no additional fee if you file by April 16.  See the info in this FAQ:     FAQ:  TurboTax Desktop to Online Offer Terms (Tax Year 2025)  https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/marketing/ty25-ttd-direct-offer/L0aUgksJ...

I am currently in the same position. Does TurboTax allow customers to upload supporting documentation from the university? Supporting documentation which includes an OPE ID as well as receipt of tuition paid - valid forms of confirmation when the university is not allowed to have an EIN or provide a 1098-T. 

@user17748276180 - no, you can not ignore.  You will not be able to successfully e-file without fixing it.    Does the 1099-R really have an amount in Box 2a? how much? Code Q means this is a Roth IRA.     Code Q means you are over 59.5 and the Roth IRA was opened for more than 5 years, so nothing should be taxable.  If that is true, why is there an amount in Box 2a? You will be taxed on that amount.
