No, if TurboTax notified you that you need to update the 1099s then you may need to amend or refile your return.  Check and see if your return has been rejected by checking your efile status here.   If the return was accepted then you may need to amend your tax return.  Follow these instructions here.   @davidemilymarks 

Yes, you do need the 1099R and it has to be entered .   Contact the financial institution that manages the retirement plan to see how to get the 1099R.  You might be able to import it or print it from their website.   To enter your retirement income, Go to  Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA  401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.     You had tax withheld from the distributions from the retirement account, just like when an employer withheld tax from your paychecks.  When you enter it all into the software, the calculations are done to reconcile the amount of income you received and the amount of tax that was withheld.  You might owe more or you might get a refund.  

So, are you on Medicare now?   "Seems like it is too late to take out the excess contribution for 2024 taxes" NO, it's not.  1. Go look at your HSA custodian's website to see if you can request a "withdrawal of excess contributions" online. If you can, print off the request and put it in your tax files. If you request the withdrawal by April 15th, then you can argue that you made a good faith effort to comply with the rules. 2. Alternatively, file an extension today (like right now). If you file an extension, then you have until October 15th to withdraw the excess contribution.   From Pub 969 (page 8 ): You may withdraw some or all of the excess contributions and avoid paying the excise tax on the amount withdrawn if you meet the following conditions.  • You withdraw the excess contributions by the due date, including extensions, of your tax return for the year the contributions were made. Then, if you file for an extension, you have six months to straighten this out.

It depends. You can select that option (vacation rental) to enter your rental income and expenses.

If there's nothing in your W-2, try entering "0" or leaving it blank. If your state doesn't have state taxes (for example Florida) but have "FL" in box 15 and nothing in box 16, then leave both 15 and 16 empty. 

I suspect you purchased the download and used online by mistake. We see people get confused and they keep logging in to online software which will require them to pay at the end.   You need to use the desktop software.   One way to tell if you are using the right software---your tool bar.   Online software has the toolbar in a black vertical column on the left side of the screen.   Desktop software has the tools up on the top of your TT screen.     You appear to be posting from online software instead of the desktop CD/download software that the license code is for.  If you are using online, you are using the wrong program.  You need to switch to the desktop software to get what you paid for.  You have to download it, update it and open it up from your own hard drive to use it.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/choosing-a-product/help/how-do-i-switch-from-turbotax-online-to-the-turbotax-software/00/26129     HOW DO I GET STARTED WITH TT DESKTOP   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/license-information/install-turbotax-cd-download-software-license-code/L1wFOSXur_US_en_US?uid=m5zp8c5h
