Thanks for letting me know.  So in the Business program it does let you do them 2 ways?  I wasn't sure.   Either on your Desktop or online using QEF?  Do you remember how you got into the desktop Create Forms first and not the QEF?  And how/where you finally found the QEF choice?   This is what it looks like on my Home & Business personal version.    

Thank you so much for your reply. Another thing I was worried about would be if she had school loans that still need to be paid because we never in the five years that we were married ever did married filing joint. We always chose married filing separate, but I don’t know since her passing if I am still accountable to her student loan debt

Sorry for you loss.  Did she pass in 2025?   You can file a Joint return as normal the year your spouse died. For the next two years following a husband's or wife's death, the surviving spouse can file as a qualifying widow or widower if they have a qualifying child. That basically lets you continue to use the same tax brackets that apply to married-filing-jointly returns. After the year of death if you don't have a child you file as Single. And then next year start over with a new return and new account. And don't transfer from the Joint return.

@user17684487303 Online can still use W10. Workarounds include creating VMs. Other desktop providers for now = H&R and TaxAct. Some think desktop apps will go away completelyin the future. Nothing prevents other current desktop providers from requiring W11 in the future. Could even be for 2026 returns.  Let TuirboTax be the guinea pig. 

Hi there,   I have a similar issue. I need to amend my 2024 taxes and reside in WA state. The online option does not work. The link/button is broken on your site. I've tried multiple computers and multiple browsers. WA state doesn't have an income tax/state return.  I downloaded your software for 2024, but there is an issue with WA state that doesn't allow the download unless you select you're applying for WFTC. I assume this is due to the lack of income tax for the state and I'm not applying for the WFTC. I filled out my amended return just to find out that I can't file online due to 0 for WFTC.   In summary, your link is broken to the online version to amend 2024 taxes and your desktop application doesn't work for WA state. Please fix one of this issues so the amended return can be filed.

Yes, I am using the desktop version of Turbotax Business.  I finally stumbled upon the Quick Employer Forms after 2 calls to Turbotax support and scouring the community online to no avail.   Frustrated that Turbotax did not direct the user to QEF within Turbotax Business.  I had created the 1099-NECs in Turbotax and assumed there was a bug because the "File" function didn't actually transmit a file to the IRS.   Instead, had to log into QEF and start all over. Thanks for responding!

Having exactly the same issue but I haven't even tried changing the number to just $23,000. I would assume is that problem and hopefully TT will fix it up in an upcoming release. Either way, I have to wait since I don't get most of my 1099-B forms until the middle of March. It's really awful that it just crashes like that with a blank page though.
