No, I cannot e-file an amended 1040X or New York IT-201X with Turbotax (even though the originals were e-filed with TT) because they make you change the filing date to last year and then tell you e-filing is closed. The following link you sent is a TT joke. I was able to e-file an amended NY 2022 return with Turbotax but am unable to to the same for 2024. Makes no sense but there it is. I will mail fed and state returns, begrudgingly.   I have been asking folks on here if I should attach TT's updated versions of my original 1040 and IT-201 to my amended returns, as I did for 2022, but I can't seem to get an answer. What do you think? Thanks.   TT's joke:   Can I e-file my federal Form 1040-X amended return? by TurboTax •       4833 Updated January 14, 2026 9:34 AM   Generally, you can e-file your amended 2025, 2024, or 2023 federal return via TurboTax if your original return was also e-filed in TurboTax. However, there's a chance your return can't be e-filed based on your unique situation. If this happens, you'll need to print and mail your tax return. If you're amending your return for 2022 or earlier, you need to print and mail your amended return. Follow these instructions to amend a prior-year return. Your amended return can take up to 20 weeks for the IRS to process. If further review of your return is necessary, the IRS may take longer. Three weeks after mailing your amendment, you can start tracking it at Where's My Amended Return? on IRS.gov.

Hi @xxserenityxx,   If you e-filed your return before the IRS starts processing returns this year, it'll stay in pending status until then. After that, e-filed returns generally sit in pending status for 24–48 hours before being either accepted or rejected. You can read more here.   Did the replies above answer your question?

First, if you made contributions by payroll, they are captured automatically from your W-2.  Don't enter them again when asked.  You are only being asked about extra contributions you made out of pocket.   Then, make sure you reviewed the entire HSA interview and indicated that you had qualifying HDHP insurance all year and no other disqualifying coverage. 

Revisit the answers about the dependent under My Info.     Review the answers to the questions at the screen Dependent's additional info for each child.   Does either child live with you less than twelve months of the year?  How many months?   How did you answer the question Do you have a written or verbal agreement with the other parent about who can claim the dependent?   Rules for Claiming Dependents on Taxes

Yes it is in the home sale section.  I work through the whole thing and it asks the typical eligibility questions but it never prompts the questions that would indicate it qualifies for the partial exclusion, such as "reason for move". Which is my situation, moving for a job.

What tax year is that corrected document from?   If it is from last year---or some other prior year-- you cannot import it.   Financial institutions take down past year information and only allow importing of current year data.   Most financial institutions will not have 2025 data available for import into tax software until mid to late February.   They often have it up on their website so that you can print it for yourself and/or enter it by hand sooner if you want to.   A corrected past year tax document will have to be entered into your amended return by hand.

Thank you for the quick response. Instead of listing a long process, Sprint Tax will tell you what you need to prepare this return. It'll also issue instructions and forms regarding the workday and income allocations on both your federal 1040NR and your California 540NR returns.   @Mohit 

If you're still seeing "Needs Review" or "Not Started" on topics you have already finished, we recommend that you wait for a few days before working on your return again. Updates to the TurboTax program are being released every night. It's possible the update that will affect your entries may be released over the weekend.   Log out of TurboTax for a few days, then refresh your browser and clear your cookies and cache. Then restart your browser and log into TurboTax again. Or try a different browser.   For more help, please see: How do I delete cookies? How to clear your cache

It is possible that you are entering as your personal contributions, amounts that were already payroll deducted which you consider to be "personal". If so, since HSA contributions that are payroll deductions are already part of the amount that is carrying from your W-2 (box 12, code W), you must not repeat that contribution in the second line as a "personal" contribution.   This is not obvious, but it is the way the IRS uses the terminology.

I haven't tested this. If you enter your home sale with the correct dates, Turbotax should pop up a screen that says something like "You don't qualify for the full exclusion but maybe you qualify for a partial exclusion."   Are you in the section for "sale of your home"?  If you are in the section for selling other kinds of assets, you will get different questions. 

Generally, if your full HSA contribution is showing as taxable, it is because your HDHP coverage has not been correctly entered. You must have proper HDHP insurance coverage in order for HSA contributions to be non-taxable.   Can you see your form 5329? If so, please look at form 8889-T and tell us the values on  Line 2 Line 3 Line 9 Line 14c Line 16 Line 18   Also, are you filing married joint, and does your spouse have a separate HSA? If so, please list the same numbers for form 8889-S.   I believe that we can quickly straighten this out if you will work with me.
