When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.   Each return needs its own email, account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596 https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/

Not sure why you are mentioning having a W-9.   Do you mean a W-2?   If you did not work for an employer  in 2025 you can tell the software that you do not have a W-2.   If an old employer transferred over from 2024, you can delete that old employer.   As ofr entering your SSA1099:  Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security  (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.  

This rejection happens because your spouse's SSN has been locked by the Social Security Administration because their records show it belongs to someone who is deceased. Verify that when you entered her information on My Info, you marked that she passed away and the date.     If the reject continues, you may print this return and mail it to the appropriate IRS Service Center.   I send my sympathies to you and your family.   How should I file my return if my spouse recently died? @user17739293266   

Box 5 on a form 1099-R should show your after-tax contributions recovered tax-free in the current year. As such, it should not be greater than the taxable distributions made to you during the year. Also, as you said the account was pre-tax, you should not have any after-tax contributions. I suggest you ask your employer for clarification on what the amount in box 5 represents. If it is incorrect, you will need to get a corrected Form 1099-R. 

You can post the tax payments directly into the program.  Open TurboTax Online Select Deductions & Credits Scroll to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid In the drop down pick Estimated Tax Payments [Start] Select the proper conditions for the payment. In this case Federal estimated taxes for 2025 (Form 1040-ES)  [Start] Did you pay federal estimated taxes for 2025? [Yes] Post your quarterly payments. Change the date of payment if necessary.

Nope! Never resolved. They pretend they don't know what's going on. I ended up having to use https://www.form8949.com/.   And the kicker....TurboTax didn't even send over the attachments anyway! Completed SCAM!

We will try and wait for TT to try to fix this issue for a little while longer. However, if we decide to file only federal via TT and it is accepted, will we be able to file Wisconsin via e-file on their website? We are not changing filing status- married filing jointly remains. The article (see below) said only one can e-file and the other has to be paper, but we are filing jointly. Please elaborate. Thank you.   "Married filers: If you e-filed your federal using the joint married status, but you want to e-file your state returns separately, only one of you will be able to e-file. The other must paper-file their state return."

What version of TurboTax Desktop are you using? I have not encountered this issue on any of my test returns this year. You should not have to override a field. In fact, I've noted that number fields that are the result of a calculation typically can't be overridden this year.   I invited an earlier poster in this thread to send a diagnostic file but none was received.   Once you finish the Federal return, open the California return and complete the interview, TurboTax completes CA Schedule CA to reconcile the Federal items with the California information.   If you right-click on Line 30 of Schedule CA, TurboTax shows the Data Source as follows:   (1) If you check one of the itemized deduction boxes on the information worksheet, the amount on this line is from line 28 above (2) If you checked the box on the information worksheet to take the standard deduction even if less than itemized deductions, this line is the standard deduction (3) If you cannot be claimed as a dependent, this line is the larger of line 29 or the standard deduction (4) If you can be claimed as a dependent, this line is the larger of line 29 or Line 5 of the Standard Deduction Worksheet.   In order for us to troubleshoot this issue, you can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information. If you would like to do this, here are the instructions for TurboTax Desktop users:   From the black bar at the top of your screen, select Online Click Send Tax File to Agent Click Send on the message that pops up TurboTax will create a "sanitized" copy of your return information with no personal info Post the full token number here in this thread @ajpstew
