We're currently working on an update to form 5695. A potential calculation error has been identified on the federal return related to the Form 5695, Energy Efficient Home Improvement section, specifically the Enabling Property group.   This return can't be filed at this time due to a processing error. The fix is scheduled for March 6, 2026.

To enter information on your EV charger for Form 8911 in TurboTax Online, go to:   Deductions & Credits>Cars and Other Things You Own>Energy-Efficient Vehicle Charging Station   Follow the prompts to enter information about your EV charger for the credit.   If you do not have your charger certification/permit number, you can enter zero in that field in TurboTax.   Here is a TurboTax article about Form 8911 (Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit).

We took $198000 out of our TSP account (at age 621/2) and put it into this Lincoln account. The original plan was to have that money supplement our retirement. After a couple of years and noticing that the account had a value of about $225000, it was recommended that we 'close' that account and pay off most of our debt (other than house and 1 vehicle). We did that and were provided a check for $179000 with no tax withheld, payed off everything, and put $50000 into a CD that has matured, so that we had funds to pay our taxes. We knew that we would have to pay and have no issue with that. We just want to know if we are able to account for the loss between the original $198000 (that, since we moved the funds into another qualified account so there were no taxes paid on that amount) and the $179000 that we actually received. Lincoln charged us a penalty of $19000 for closing the account early so they made money from that transaction.

I have this same problem. Since I started working on my return in early January I assumed it was a bug that would be fixed with an eventual update. I check each time there is an update but still not fixed. It is March 5 and I just checked again and still broken.   I was hoping to see some info about if/when it would be fixed. Or if anyone knows if it matters if I file 8283 with "comparative sales" instead of "Average share price".   Thanks for reading.

Where do I find my AGI?   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947   Your 2024 tax return shows your 2024 Adjusted Gross Income  (AGI)  If you filed a joint return then the AGI is the same for each of you.   Form 1040        line 11   If entering the amount from your 2024 tax return does not work, then try entering “0” instead.  If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.   You can get a free transcript of your past return from the IRS:   https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript Note: If you filed late or amended your return, your correct 2024 AGI may not be in the system.  https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1944348-how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online Note:  If you mail your federal return, you will also need to mail your state return.  You will not be able to e-file your state return.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online/00/26258 it is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it like UPS or certified mail.  Then you will know the IRS received it.     If you used the wrong AGI, your e-file  be rejected.  When you get the rejection notice, correct it and re-file. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/where-do-i-correct-my-agi-in-turbotax-online/00/26311 @Jusmar

Bonjour,    J'ai pu régler le problème de transmission de la déclaration provinciale de mon mari qui a une déclaration simple en effaçant l'annexe 3 - mais pour moi ça ne fonctionne pas. Possible que ce soit du au formulaire TP-80 qui ne serait pas encore finalisé ?    (les 2 déclarations fédérales ont été soumises sans accroc)   Merci Louise

Yes, I would suggest waiting until after March 6th. After that time, run the manual update again. Once the federal "E-file" option appears, send both the Federal and California returns at the same time.   It sometimes takes 24–48 hours for the e-file transmission servers to catch up with the form update in the Desktop software. As a cautionary measure, I would wait the full 48 hours before filing your return.

Thanks for the note and the link.  After looking through the document I think there's a further restriction for Roth IRA contributions that we're running to.  On p40 of the copy I just downloaded, it says for Roth IRAs "your contribution limit generally the lesser of: $7,000 ..., or Your taxable compensation". This tracks with the IRS making us pull back part of my Roth IRA contribution last year.
