January 1, 2026, still nothing. Charged $70 in Nov.  and it is useless. I needed to know how IRA withdrawals would affect my SS taxable.  Why can't I plug in numbers to test out different amounts. Not even a test version labeled test only. Nothing. Dead stop.   Why should I file a dispute on my credit card for fraud and beg for my money back? Just give me what I paid for.  Even a clearly labeled test version. How hard is that? Excel1040.com and FreeTax USA were able to show my SS taxable based on various IRA withdrawals amounts.  

@singardia You are posting to a very old thread that has had no activity since 2019.  The original poster in this thread was asking about using a vehicle inspection fee as an itemized deduction on Schedule A.   That is not your issue.   You state that you are a rideshare driver and want to enter a business expense (inspection fee) on a Schedule C.   Tax Tips for Uber, Lyft, Sidecar and other Car Sharing Drivers FAQ  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/Self-Employment-Taxes/Tax-Tips-for-Uber--Lyft--Sidecar-and-other-Car-Sharing-Drivers/INF28820.html      https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/enter-lyft-tax-information/L68Y2Ze1T_US_en_US   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/self-employment-taxes/self-employed-expenses-deduct/L37ZS1B8T_US_en_US

When is this suppose to be available to enter into TurboTax desktop version? We can only guess when that section will get the green light.   Last year that 1099-R section became available around January 9, which was that week's regular update day.   So extrapolating from that (and guessing), perhaps it will become available this next week around January 8 (Thursday).   Regular weekly updates normally occur on early Thursday mornings.     If someone in this user community has more specific info, perhaps they will post in this thread.

You didn't say what you are using for 2025, and what you used for 2024.   So for this answer I'll assume you are using Online TurboTax for 2025, and that you also used Online TurboTax for 2024 as well.  If that's not the case, then please make it clear.   If you used 2024 Online TurboTax last year and are now using 2025 Online TurboTax in the same account, then the 2024 data should have transferred-in automatically.   So after you started your 2025 online return, and once you have gone through enough initial screens to choose a product edition and start entering data, did you arrive at the MY INFO section to start data entry?  And if so, are you saying the  2024 data did not automatically transfer in to populate your 2025 return?   If that's your situation, then first, check to be sure the 2024 online return was prepared in that account.  In the left menu column choose the TAX HOME tab, which takes you to the Tax Home page.  Then scroll way down to "Your Tax Returns & Documents" and choose 2024.  Is the 2024 return not there? If there's no evidence in that section of a 2024 return that you prepared last year in Online TurboTax, then you may have multiple accounts.       How to look for multiple accounts: You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes.  A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be.  It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.   To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, etc., you can use the tool at the link below.  When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first if you can still access it.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access. NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session. https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery If still no luck after running that on your phone number you can still access and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method: Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, scroll down a bit, then choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by other parameters.

You only enter it from the 1095-A.  If you enter the 1095-A and select the "Self-employed and bought a Marketplace plan" box, it will automatically include those premiums in the SE Health Insurance section.  So you shouldn't enter it again on schedule C.     Self Employed health Insurance does not go directly on Schedule C so it will not reduce your Net Profit or self employment tax.   If your health ins exceeds your net self-employment income it gets split. An amount equal to your net self-employment income goes on Form 1040 Schedule 1 line 17 (to 1040 line 10) and the remainder gets added in to medical expenses on Schedule A.
