Have you tried all the recent options presented in this thread? Deleting, entering zero, switching entries, etc.? If so, and you are still seeing the form error, please follow the instructions posted previously for obtaining and posting a token for your return.   @snowtwins67 

The following questions must be answered correctly so that your incentive is not recognized as self employment.   Open your TurboTax Online or TurboTax Desktop tax return Search (upper right) > type 1099misc > click the Jump to... link Begin your entry of the 1099-MISC. Be sure to select No this did NOT involve work and No it did not involve an intent to earn money Continue to complete this section.

Which state? You generally get an exemption number by applying for one through your state.  You can also generally select that you are not exempt, but then you would have a penalty in some states for no coverage. 

How much extra you need to remove will depend on your earnings. You can calculate the earnings for you and you spouse with this worksheet and then enter it in TurboTax to check if you still get a new excess contribution. To be safe remove a few extra dollars, just in case it takes time to process the return of excess contribution.      You will enter the recharacterization when you enter the contribution to the Roth IRA for 2024 on your 2024 return:   Login to your TurboTax Account  Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions”  Click on “Jump to IRA contributions" Select “Roth IRA” Answer ‘Yes” on the “Roth IRA Contribution” screen Answer “No” to “Is This a Repayment of a Retirement Distribution Enter the Roth contribution amount  Answer “Yes” to the recharacterized question on the “Switch from a Roth To a Traditional IRA?” screen and enter the contribution amount (no earnings or losses) on the next screen. TurboTax will ask for an explanation statement where it should be stated that the original $xxx.xx plus $xxx.xx earnings (or loss) were recharacterized. On the screen "Choose Not to Deduct IRA Contributions" answer "Yes" if you are thinking about doing a backdoor Roth. Otherwise select "No". (If you have a retirement plan at work and are over the income limit it will be nondeductible automatically and you only get a warning and then a screen saying $0 is deductible)       You will get a 2025 Form 1099-R  for the recharacterization with code R-Recharacterized IRA contribution made for 2024 and this belongs on the 2024 return. But a Form 1099-R with code R will change nothing on your return. You can only report it as mentioned above. Therefore, you can ignore the Form 1099-R with code R when you get it in 2026.

So it seems that different people are having different results.  You can try to enter the 1095-A by selecting yes I did receive one and then enter that you shared the policy with another taxpayer and if your parents claimed 100% of the premiums, you would enter 0% as your allocated amount. If this causes a rejection by the IRS, you may need to print and mail your return. 

Please follow these instructions to post your token (this process has changed for tax year 2024):     In TurboTax Business, open your return and go to Online in the TurboTax header. (On a Mac computer, choose Share or Help.) Choose Send Tax File to Agent. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click Send on this screen and wait for the Token number to appear. Reply to this thread with a screenshot of your Token number (this avoids Community filters for numbers with a dash) and tag (@) the Expert requesting the token from you. Please include any States that are part of your return - this is VERY important. We will then be able to see the same experience you are having. If we are able to determine the cause, we'll reply here and provide you with a resolution.    @bquosigk 

When you e-file a tax return there is no physical signature.  You "sign" electronically by entering your AGI.     Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”     When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.   First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/ If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?   https://www.irs.gov/refunds            Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?” Or “Rejected?” Or “Printed?”  

Here is the reason you may owe tax to your resident state. Your resident state requires all worldwide income to be taxed. However they will give you a credit for taxes paid to another state on the same income. If you didn't take advantage of this credit, it's reasonable to have a large balance due. See the details below.   You must wait until the return is either accepted or rejected before you amend. Accepted would need an amendment and rejected would mean you can change your return and resubmit it.   State Returns - Your resident state requires you to include all worldwide income. Assume both states require income tax returns to be filed:  Report the income on each state return that is from the nonresident state Report it on your resident state and receive credit for taxes paid to another state. Credit for taxes paid to another state is allowed by a resident state when the same income is being taxed to another state.  Your resident state does not want you to pay tax twice on the same income. The credit that is allowed will be the lesser of: the tax liability actually charged by the nonresident state, OR the tax liability that would have been charged by your resident state In most cases complete your nonresident state first.

You can add forms as long as you didn't submit your return. If you did, you need to amend it in order to add your 1095-A form.   Open your return  Go to Deductions and Credits. Scroll down to Medical Select Affordable Care Act (1095-A)  

Those four 1040ES vouchers are optional to use.   They are not for paying your 2024 tax due.  They are meant for making estimated quarterly payments for tax year 2025 to help you avoid a big tax bill and/or an underpayment penalty at tax time next year when you prepare and file your 2025 tax return.   You are not required to use them, and they have no impact at all on your 2024 tax return.

Appreciate all the input, but I was not able to resolve.  I was able to see the data that carried over from my 2023 return, but it was not posting to Line 7 of the 1040.  Went ahead and filed without it since the impact was not great.  Also, I was seeing different menu layouts from what others posted.
