I am seeing the same thing.  Form 8959 is showing as "NOT DONE" with a red exclamation point (!) in the forms view of TurboTax 2025 Desktop for Windows.  The form is filled out and there is nothing flagging as incomplete or required on the form (no boxes or lines highlighted in light red).  There is also no error message showing.  And, the Intuit forms availability web page indicates the form is ready, but there is obviously something wrong with this form.

@cwr64 in case you missed, see above re offer for 2025 you can switch to online premium for no extra cost if you purchase desktop.  Long term online is more expensive than desktop but for 2025 you can try it out without paying more and probably for 2026 you'll be on Win 11 and switch back to desktop

Yes you will need Online Premium to enter or import investments sales.   You can enter interest and dividends into Deluxe.   And Online has different features than Desktop.   The Online web version is only good for one account and one return. You can log in and access your return from any computer. You only can see the forms after you pay and download the pdf. And you might need to upgrade to a higher version to enter different kinds of income. And you can add LIVE service or Full Service for expert help. In Online the fees are to prepare the federal and state returns (State is a separate charge) whether you efile or print and mail. Efiling is free and included.   You can see the prices and start an Online return here,  https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/ 

I always used the TT Deluxe Federal-only desktop TT product in the past (cost me maybe $40 or less at COSTCO) and when I selected "import" it showed me a little window where I was able to select Pershing for the import.  Worked very well.  Are you saying that I  need to select a high dollar TT online product to do that same import?  

@baldietax wrote: Presumably majority were paying, we don't know - a few people have posted here they were using it for free..... Exactly. The vast majority, I assume, were paying TurboTax users but there was a (probably small but not insignificant) number of people who were using ItsDeductible but NOT paying for TurboTax.

   If you have NOT filed your 2024 return yet:      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.   @user17664101168
