Turbo tax is asking me to correct a line on my 1099 R form from line 14a. My form is blank. I tried to correct that on my filing and it won’t accept it. Turbo tax keeps kicking me back to correct this. It won’t let me put zero on that line.

Well that’s not cool.  I haven’t purchased something from them since 2015 which was my one and only purchase.   All other copies I bought from eBay or Amazon but was still able to do what I said above to get it. 

Yes.  Your W4 has no affect on your filing status. If you fill out your W4 as Married filing separately with one child, only one of you should include the child.  Otherwise, you will both have less withheld based on that child.  Although the credit is only $500 for your child over 17. How you fill it out depends on your goal, your income, your spouses income and your overall tax situation.  If you want a refund, this is slightly more likely to happen if you both do fill out the W4 as Married Filing Separately, then actually when you file your return file jointly.  You may want to use a W4 withholding calculator to help you decide. What Is a W-4 Form?

@opieg53 You were asked to provide the following information so that you could receive assistance.     Please clarify your question by adding some additional information so we may better help you. Such as: What version of TurboTax are you using? What form are you entering? What TurboTax screen are you on? What is it asking you for?

@TurboTaxAniqua Nope, this error has not been resolved.  I called your help centre and they confirmed that the error is not fixed for all users. Line 68150 on form T936 is now filled, but line 17600 on Schedule 3 is not making it impossible to Netfile.  Expected fix April 23. So not only I have this issue, every time TurboTax says it's fixed I wasted my attempts to netfile.  Now I am locked out and it is impossible to get through CRA to get unlocked.  I am very frustrated with TurboTax this year.

TurboTax has no way to know when or even if the taxes owed were ever paid, so that type of information will never be shown on the TurboTax Tax Home web-page If you selected to have the taxes owed paid from your bank account by direct debit, that information is on the Filing Instructions page for the tax return and on the Federal Information Worksheet in Part V of the worksheet.   The FI page and worksheet are available if you use Print Center and the option for all worksheets.   To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state.  This will take you back to the 2024 online tax return. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

You must file taxes with the IRS if you are a citizen of the United States. You are exempt from filing Canadian taxes if you do not have a SIN or a Canadian residency status.

If you are asking about your child tax credit if the amount is $512, then it is likely you only had $512 in tax liability.  The child tax credit is a non-refundable credit. This means, you can only get as much as you owe in taxes.  Once your balance is $0, you can't claim more than that. However, if it is possible then to get the Additional Child Tax Credit which is refundable.  If this amount was only $512, it is because your income limited the credit.  This credit is calculated by taking your earned income and subtracting $2,500 then multiplying it by 15%.  The credit is then limited to the lower of that number or $1,700 which is the maximum amount for the additional child tax credit.  What is the Additional Child Tax Credit?

If you work independently or as a subcontractor, you must report your earnings, which will be classified as self-employment.   If you are self-employed, you can report your income and claim expenses when filling out T2125. Use the T2125 form to report either business or professional income and expenses. This form combines the two previous forms, T2124, Statement of Business Activities, and T2032, Statement of Professional Activities.   Tax Deductions for the Self-Employed   Thanks for choosing TurboTax.

If you hired a contractor to remodel your bathroom for personal use (not as a business), you do not need to issue a 1099 form. The IRS requires 1099-NEC forms only when a business pays an independent contractor $6000 or more for services. Since this was a personal home project, you're not obligated to file a 1099 for the labor.
