Did you move during 2025?   Make sure your personal information is correctly entered in the My Info section.   You are asked about all the states you lived or worked in, so TurboTax knows which state returns you need to file.      Do you have to file multiple state returns?  This article will help determine which states you need to file a return for.   

Please explain more.  If you filed in Turbo Tax you need to amend it in Turbo Tax.  How could you correct it on   HR Block?   And do you mean your 2024 return to transfer into 2025?    How to Transfer into the Online version https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/entering-importing/help/how-do-i-transfer-last-year-s-return-into-turbotax-online/00/25953   TurboTax Online and the Mac Desktop program only supports PDF transfers, if you used other tax software last year. But a pdf only transfer very basic info like your name and AGI. It would be just as easy to manually enter all your info. So it's probably not worth even trying to transfer it.  

You cannot import a 2025 return that you prepared with H & R Block into 2025 TurboTax.  When you say you "filed" a 2025 tax return---did you actually e-file it?   Did you click that big orange button that said “Transmit my return now?”  If you did that, you cannot do anything to fix it yet.  You have to wait for the email that tells you if your return was accepted or rejected.   Since the IRS will not begin to accept/reject returns until January 26, you are going to be waiting in “pending” for awhile.  Your return is sitting on a server, where you cannot fix  it or get it back.   You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.     If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X you need becomes available in late February,  But wait until your return has been processed.

Congrats! you get a deduction of $0 is not useful.   I agree that some of those TurboTax screens are unhelpful, but they are also sometimes misleading or outright wrong.   At any rate, at first glance it appears it is doing the calculations correctly.    

Are you self-employed or are you an employee that receives a W-2 each year?   You can claim business expenses if you are self-employed - no deduction if you used it for work you did as an employee.     And if you lived in the trailer, you may be able to deduct mortgage interest if it qualifies.   If you are asking about something else, please provide more details.  A mobile home, RV, house trailer, or houseboat that has sleeping, cooking, and toilet facilities counts as a main or second home, and as long as it meets all the other requirements for deducting mortgage interest, you can claim the interest like an immovable home.

It's possible that the error could be caused by entries in the personal info section of your return.  Did you select CA as your state of residence?  Did you serve in the military and have CA as your home or record but are serving outside of CA?  Are there any income items you have with foreign income?

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE IRS/STATE     TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-audit/turbotax-audit-support/L6AcMoNFD_US_en_US?uid=m5z7by9u     https://intuit.taxaudit.com/audit-defense/help/contact     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/got-cp2000-notice-irs/L7Da6em2t_US_en_US?uid=m4of6ngd

Are you issuing the W-2?  I would ASSUME the employee is working remotely in Florida and therefore line 15 would be blank, but we do not have enough information to give you an accurate, definitive answer. You would need to consult with the company's payroll department.    If you are entering in the information from a Form W-2 into TurboTax, enter it the way it was issued. 

You can only import Quicken directly into the Turbo Tax Windows Desktop program and not to the Online version. If you need to transfer Quicken to Turbo Tax for Mac or to older Windows tax returns you need to export your Quicken data as a txf file. (Neither TurboTax Online nor TurboTax Business supports imports from the .txf file.) https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/entering-importing/help/how-do-i-import-from-the-txf-file/00/25642   Import Partners https://www.intuit.com/partners/fdp/implementation-support/tax-import/program-overview/partner-list How to import 1099s https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/import-1099s/L2hPcduMb_US_en_US?uid=lcw7rbhy
