Due to TurboTax issues dealing with RMD, to avoid wrongful penalty, for each 1099-R, tell TurboTax that the calculated required amount is -0-..   This was a problem last year, and apparently still not fixed.   @mquint1969 

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.  You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.  You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.  Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.   The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due  Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.  You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment  Select your product below and follow the instructions.  Amend TurboTax Online  Amend TurboTax CD/Download 

If you have already addressed all of the areas of your return for which Review asked for more information or corrections, you have checked your Internet connection, and the program is not progressing to the next step, first try the following steps:    Try exiting TurboTax, restarting your device and starting TurboTax again. Try using a different browser. Chrome usually works well. Try clearing your cache and cookies.     If, after completing the steps above, you are still not able to progress past Review, try these additional steps:   Sometimes, if you enter a section and exit it, without making an entry, TurboTax will create a form for the entry that would go with that section, and Review will look for an entry in that form. It could also be that the form was created because of an entry carried over from last year.   If you have blank forms or forms with a "0" that are not needed, such as for W-2G or K-1, you can get out of this by deleting the forms that TurboTax has prepared from your opening the screens that support them.  If you are using TurboTax Online, see this help article and below for the steps to Delete a Form:    Open or continue your return. On Tax Home, select Start, Continue, or Pick up where you left off to enter your return. In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form. (Look for any form or worksheet relating to Medical expenses.) Select Delete next to the form, schedule, and worksheet in the list and follow the instructions. If you are using a Desktop version of TurboTax, you can switch to Forms Mode (click on Forms at the top of the screen when you are in Step-by-Step Mode), review the list of forms on the left, then select the one you wish to delete. When the form displays, click "Delete Form" at the bottom of the screen.    If after trying all of the options mentioned you still have the same problem:    See this help article and this one for instructions on how to contact TurboTax customer support depending on which product you are using.  

If you are using the desktop version of TurboTax, you use the Forms menu option to bring up that schedule. Use the Open Form menu icon and type in Schedule D. If you are using the online TurboTax, you will see that form when you print out your return to include all forms and schedules.

This is not available at this time however there are several places to arrive at your estimated value for the donations of personal items.   For examples see the links below for a guide to assist. Salvation Army Donation Value Guide Valuation Guide for Goodwill Donors How do I use the Fair Market Value (FMV) tool to enter donations in both TurboTax Desktop and TurboTax Online? Any reasonable method will be appropriate, just keep the details with your tax records should you need it later.   @wildernesswolf 

Some states will only accept payment directly to their website or by mail and not through tax software. While most states align with the federal deadline of April 15, 2026, several states have later deadlines:   States with Different Deadlines (2026): April 20: Oklahoma April 21: Hawaii April 30: Delaware, Iowa, New Mexico May 1: South Carolina, Virginia May 15: Louisiana    Check with your state tax agency as to how to make payment. See this link for contact information for all state agencies.

I agree, the only thing I had left to do on my taxes were the deductions and I had no idea It's Deductible was discontinued.  I used another product and then imported the file but TurboTax kept asking required questions which were just for the worksheet.  I had to do a bunch of overrides and it took me forever.  I'm so unhappy with TurboTax.  I will be looking for a replacement next year.

To find the bank information or other payment method used for an IRS tax payment, log in to your IRS Online Account to view your payment history or download a tax transcript. Alternatively, check your filed tax return copy (or 'Filing Instructions' page) or review your personal bank statement for the ACH withdrawal. It can take several days at this point in time. IRS Online Account: View your payment history to see which bank account was used. Tax Return Copy: Look at the 'Filing Instructions' or Federal Information Worksheet (Part V) in your tax software or paper return for direct debit details.
