Does "add a K-1" mean you need to report one?   i.e., if you need to report a K-1 that you received (as opposed to generating one), that can be done in the personal product, but in Online TurboTax you have to be in the correct edition.   What does "on here" mean?   Are you using Online TurboTax or desktop software?   If Online TurboTax, it has to be Premium edition to enter a K-1.    We can tell you how to get to the interview topic to enter a K-1 when you confirm what you need to do and what product you are using.

Well, gosh, that makes sense. /s  Tell tt you want to answer a question when actually you want to ask one.  That's like me telling the phone answerbot that I want to talk to a salesperson when I can't get through to a support person, because you *know* the salespeople are going to answer the phone.

@umiboo , just wanted to close the loop with you .  I created a scenario with both parents having active foreign source income, having one child with un-earned income, parents  required/choosing not  include child's income of 20,000-- thus 8615 coming into play. The parents' active income completely excluded under  FEIE, plus  passive income untaxed  because of Foreign tax credit.  Parents' did have  SECA  tax  but it looked wrong ( I have not investigated why it looked so low --will do ) The child's return of 20,000 was taxed at parents' marginal rate using 8615. I did not find the questions on the screens unusual ---  since I had no Schedule-D or other items , I left these  entry boxes blank ( could have placed zero but that is extra useless work ).   So I am left with the feeling that the on-line screens must be different  from the windows H&B version or you would have had a easy time.  My humble apologies for the inconvenience.   Is there more I can do for you ?   pk

You don't need last year's 5-digit PIN to sign your 2024 return.   The majority of people likely didn't save it.  You can make up a new one every year, if you wish.   The signing page says to use any 5 digits of your choosing except it can't be all zeros.   That being said, if you are convinced you want to use the same one even when not needed, then if you have a copy of the 2023 return with all the worksheets, you can look way down on the  Federal Information Worksheet. It may or may not be there.  Or you can also look at the 2024 Federal Information Worksheet to see if it transferred-in from last year's filing.   ADDENDUM: You didn't say why you want the 5-digit signing PIN used last year.   Did you recently get a rejection code saying the 2023 AGI or PIN was wrong?   In that case, it's likely it rejected due to 2023 AGI.   If you verify what your circumstance is, we may be able to comment further on a rejected 2023 AGI issue.

There is no need for a reciprocity agreement between TN and AL, because TN has no state income tax.   If you live in TN but work in AL, you file a non-resident AL tax return for the income earned while working in AL.

As explained above, this is not something that TurboTax can help with.   TurboTax provides software for you to prepare a do-it-yourself tax return.  TT does not get any information from the IRS after you file your return, and cannot intercede with the IRS regarding your tax return or your payment plan(s).    Sorry, but you are at the mercy of the IRS and will have to be tenacious in your attempts to contact the IRS yourself.

Then the other parents' return might be getting rejected for some other reason.   If they are claiming the child for the child tax credit, they can still do so---but print, sign and mail their return and let the IRS sort out the duplicate use of the SSN.

Original poster in this thread apparently edited the post after receiving a reply.   The original question remarked that they were being charged $135 to prepare a tax return, but that they had had no 2024 income and were living on savings.
