@princelovin3    It may depend on what state you are preparing.  Some states will not accept any e-filing until the end of January,  and the state forms in the software may be preliminary ones and not the final ones...thus you may have to go thru the state Q&A again AFTER the final state forms for your state have been implemented.

The Windows 11 requirement has been widely known and made available since the middle of the Summer of 2025. It's also in the system requirements.
WTF. I bought the program and then you tell me I have to upgrade? This is total BS.No where on any ad was I informed of this. Another rip off attempt by TurboTax.
H&R Block tax software is updated.
You can probably find estimates for the value of donated items on the Salvation Army website or eBay.

Selling a home in California. One owner clearly meets the "principal residence" exemption from California withholding (as well as exclusion of up to $250K gain from taxable income) on the sale proceeds per IRC Sec 21 (lived in home as primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years).   However, another owner moved out 6 years in the past. They definitely do not qualify for the exclusion of gain per IRC 121, BUT do they still qualify for exemption from California 593 withholding at the time of sale?   CA FTB Guidelines read:   Property Last Used as a Principal Residence You qualify for a withholding exemption if you last used the property as your principal residence without regard to the two-year time period (for withholding purposes only).   The other owner's last use of the property was definitely as their principal residence -- they did not rent back or otherwise use the home. They did, however, use the CA 593 exemption from withholding and the IRC 121 exclusion of gain on the sale of a different home in the intervening 6 years.   Searches of the web do not provide a clear answer for this scenario. If they do qualify for the withholding exemption, why then does the FTB even bother with detailing the first exemption for a principal residence if used for 2 years within the last 5 years before sale (because that would be subsumed by the exemption, "Last Used as a Principal Residence")?   
Yes, if you itemize. You can only deduct a total of medical expenses greater than 7.5 percent of your AGI.

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return. If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again. If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk

Why did your website not specify I needed Windows 11 before I downloaded it? It wasn't until that point it stated the requirements of 11. I couldn't speak to anyone and ask them if I can transfer that license code to my Mac. Now I had to buy a Windows 11 laptop just to run this software. If I hadn't been using TurboTax over a decade, I'd probably told you where to stick it and gotten a refund on the charges.
