I agree.  This is TurboTax answer to me last year as well and I ended up mailing in the tax instead of e-filing.   My story is that in 2023, it asked for pin in 2022, but I did not have the filing for 2022, so there is no record of last year e-pin number.  The software asked for the last year e-pin, but since there was no 2022, I am stuck.   Fast forward to 2024, I am again asked for 2023 which I did not e-file because of the same problem.  It looks like I am stuck again because of this e-pin issue.   This will be two years in the row that I have to mail in the tax because Turbo Tax did not fix the problem with this e-pin issue.   I am truly disappointed in Turbo Tax for not having the answer for the problem that plague so many users.

@MonikaK1 Is there any update on this? Or should I be e-filing the way TurboTax generates 568 - without the EIN? it has already been over a week delay in my process, I’d like to please file early this week as I’m on vacation later. but if this is an issue with no EIN on 568 - just let me know so that I can switch to a different product and redo the taxes Thanks

Claiming home office depreciation for 2024 can be beneficial if you use part of your home exclusively for business purposes.

In the couple of examples I have seen/heard of where supplemental information was included with a Form 1099-B import, it duplicated transactions and caused additional problems.  You're right, Fidelity has the correct information; however the transactions are non-qualifying and therefore the cost basis is not reported to the IRS, so that's they way your 1099-B is prepared.     You may want to consider entering summary transactions and then emailing or uploading to your return a copy of your Form 1099-B.   If all of your transaction are for RSUs, you will have to enter two transactions at the most - one long term and one short term.  Just determine what each category total is, enter those with a zero cost basis, and then enter the total adjustment for the correct cost basis.   To do so you will need to delete your 1099-B that you imported.  Here's how to do it:     In the income section, Select "Investments and Savings...."  On the page "Did you have investment income in 2024?"  Answer Yes On the page "Let's Import your tax info" click on "Enter a different way" Select "Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds" on the page with "OK let's start with one investment type" When asked "Which bank or brokerage is on our 1099-B?" enter the name of your or broker or mutual fund company, leave the other fields blank. Click Continue Answer the next three questions Answer Yes to "Did you buy every investment listed...." (unless you inherited or were gifted the funds) Select "Sales Section Totals" Locate your sales section totals on your 1099-B Enter your Investment Sales Section Totals and repeat till you have entered for each category. After entering all your sales section totals,  Look for "Now we'll help you upload your 1099-B since the IRS requires a copy" and follow the instructions,  or you can mail a paper copy of your 1099-B to the IRS.  If you want to mail, click on "How do I mail my statement".   Take a moment to double-check that your statements are complete. For each sale listed, there should be:  - A Description  - Date Acquired  - Date Sold  - Sales Price  - Cost Basis  - Gain or loss for each sale  - A based on how the sale was reported to you and the IRS  In some uncommon cases, there will be an adjustment code and adjustment amount.    NOTE: Any sales summaries that include only Box A or Box D sales, and which have no adjustments to gain/loss, do not need to be included on a statement mailed to the IRS.    Here's how to mail your statements:  If you are e-filing your tax return, then mail your statements along with Form 8453 to:   Internal Revenue Service Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254 Receipt and Control Branch Austin, TX 73344-0254
