When you make the Box 20 entry, you should enter the code Z in the first column and the rental income in the second column. Later on, you will see a screen that says We need some information about your 199A income. One of the options will say (name of company) has IBIA of qualified property. Check that box and an option will pop up where you can enter the unadjusted basis of assets.

I am in the same situation. Back when itsdeductible was available never had to do "price of property" , date bought of multiple items, or something called cost basis. I used deductible duck this year and imported the multiple goodwill items into TT - some came greater than 500 (approx. 800 & 900 respectively) and when running the TT final analysis those 3 boxes kept coming up. This does not make sense for 100s of items donated. who keeps purchase receipts for cloths and minor household goods for many years?

Yes, you can amend your tax return to change from Married Filing Separately to Married Filing Jointly.  This is a common way to correct a missing 1099-R while potentially benefiting from the larger standard deduction and lower tax rates associated with a joint return.  You should pay what you owe first- if your original separate return shows a balance due, you should pay that amount first before or while filing the amendment.  See How to File an Amended Tax Return with the IRS - TurboTax.

Using ID.me is a step to strengthen security, prevent identity theft, reduce fraud, and modernize identity verification. This link is an IRS announcement from 2021 discussing the start of using ID.me for accessing their website. 

Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

It matters. Certain trusts do not get a stepped up basis. That is unlikely here but it's a possibility. Are you preparing a return for this trust (1041)?

You can try to view your files by going to  Tax Home > Scroll down to Tax Returns and docs > How can I access my return after I've e-filed or printed it? You can also try: Tax Tools > Print Center > How do I get a PDF of my return?  If you're unsure about what the IRS has for your debit/deposit information, try creating an account and managing it through the IRS site: https://www.irs.gov/your-account
