Form 5695 Residential Energy Credits is currently projected to be available sometime on 1/21/26.    I don't know if it will happen during the day on Wednesday, or whether it will happen overnight (Wed into Thurs morning) with the usual weekly update.  Projected availability dates are subject to change, but hopefully you'll get it in the next couple of days.

Thanks this hack worked!  But oooooh, why is Intuit such a horrible company that it can't get importing correct? I mean, this has to be the first thing that Q/A should do when testing their software. Please hire good engineers Intuit! This is embarrassing for you.    Oh, and please fix!!!!

That isn't my current issue. They just lumped my tips and wages altogether in box 3, instead of separating the wages into box 3 and the tips into box 7. But as far as I can tell, turbo tax hasn't got a work around for me to list my tips and get the OBBBA deduction.

@Opus 17 From Pub 526 Giving Property That Has Decreased in Value If you contribute property with an FMV that is less than your basis in it, your deduction is limited to its FMV. You can't claim a deduction for the difference between the property's basis and its FMV. Your basis in property is generally what you paid for it. If you need more information about basis, see Pub. 551, Basis of Assets. You may want to see Pub. 551 if you contribute property that you: • Received as a gift or inheritance; • Used in a trade, business, or activity con ducted for profit; or • Claimed a casualty loss deduction for. Common examples of property that de crease in value include clothing, furniture, appli ances, and cars. Giving Property That Has Increased in Value If you contribute property with an FMV that is more than your basis in it, you may have to re duce the FMV by the amount of appreciation (increase in value) when you figure your deduc tion. Your basis in property is generally what you paid for it. If you need more information about basis, see Pub. 551. Different rules apply to figuring your deduc tion, depending on whether the property is: • Ordinary income property, or • Capital gain property     Since the insurance company paid for it, isn't their basis zero? With a zero basis, would they not have capital gain income if sold? @Opus 17 @knowitall80  I did miss some one important caveat FMV must be reduced by the amount that would have been long-term capital gain if 1) it was contributed to a private nonoperating foundation (did wran about tax exempt status), 2) the property is put to unrelated use by the charity ( unlikely since it's hearing aids) 3)  the taxapayer uses the 50%-of-AGI limit    

It's possible some of your forms are not yet available for filing.   What state is it? What do you see when you go through the REVIEW tab?  Is there any message?   You can check the projected dates of availability for the Federal and state forms with the tool below.  You will see 2 columns of dates.  One for print availability, and one for e-file availability.  Run the tool on Federal, and then run the tool on your state.   TurboTax Form Availability Tool
