You all have some math work to do.  The IRS states in pub 501: Support includes amounts spent to provide: Food, Lodging, Clothing, Education, Medical and dental care, Recreation, Transportation, and Similar necessities. The value of the home and vacations do add to their support along with the food and insurance.  Sit down and go through all of this together. The IRS has a quick online quiz to determine who gets to claim you, see Dependent.

I had the same problem.  Even today, saw only 2024 and earlier when using my Chrome browser.  I tried Edge, and I could see 2025.  Could also see 2025 if I used Chrome incognito mode.  Try that and see if you can get 2025 numbers.  Good luck!

Thanks for the response.  I am aware of the eligibility requirements/tax rules and have used TurboTax for years and was also an auditor/manager with IRS.     In my previous post I explained that I already completed a friends return and there was a question about the source of the distribution which was not on the joint return.  AGI for the joint return is below the exclusion threshold.   There is no code "M" in box 16.  CA is selected for box 15.  The program is not computing the tax/exclusion for the joint return.   I believe there is a "glitch" in the program.   I can do a work around, but should not have to.  Intuit/Turbotax needs to fix.

I think it's still broken if you have tuition expenses for K-12 (elementary school / high school checkboxes under 'School Attendance').   Actually nevermind, it depends on whether the state recognizes k12 expenses as exempt from taxation/penalties. 

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.    https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   Start a 2025 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/27010     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-2021-turbotax-online-return-pdf/L8dHfRkpT_US_en_US?uid=m5y4ch1y   Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery     Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-tax-file-computer/L0XJvPaJr_US_en_US   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/data-systems/find-tax-data-file-mac/L4VNGm33S_US_en_US?uid=m6guhab0   You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf       SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

At the age of 18, she can still be claimed as a qualified child dependent.   Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number.    Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment.  If your child was born in 2025 make sure you said he lived with you the whole year.  There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support.  Say NO to that question.     WHO CAN I CLAIM AS A DEPENDENT?   You can claim a child, relative, friend, or fiancé (etc.) as a dependent on your 2025 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements: Qualifying child They're related to you. They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students). No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children. They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply). They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.  

@Oliver @SteamTrain @user[phone number removed]  Dear All: After updating the turbotax software, I resubmit both Federal and State taxes.  This time both were successful. So the updates did the trick. Thanks everyone. Best regards.

This has appeared several times; the workaround for you is this:   1. Do an HSA Reset (below) to delete all your current HSA data 2. re-enter all your HSA data 3. See if the screen "Let's enter [name]'s HSA contributions" now appears (it has for others). The second line has the entry for "personal" contributions, i.e., not through the employer.   Make sure that if you are using the desktop software (Windows or Mac) that you update your software before doing the steps above.   HSA RESET ***Reset***   1. make a copy of your W-2(s) (if you don't have the paper copies) 2. delete your W-2(s) (use the garbage can icon next to the W-2(s) on the Income screen)   *** Desktop/Windows***   3. go to View (at the top), choose Forms, and select the desired form (1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)). Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the screen.   *** Online ***   3. go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to Tools->Delete a form  4. delete form(s) 1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)   5. go back and re-add your W-2(s), preferably adding them manually 6. go back and redo the entire HSA interview....     For step 3 for the Desktop/Mac, I am told that you go to the form and then press the delete key to delete the form. If you find out differently, please let me know.
