UEFI is the modern method for loading the operating system on the PC and provides enhanced security over the use of an old-fashioned BIOS.  Standard Windows 11 installation requires the use of UEFI.   I suspect that TurboTax requires and checks for Windows 11 not for any security reasons but instead for software compatibility reasons, and does not check the boot method or for TPM presence.  Maintaining compatibility with older OS versions can increase software development and maintenance costs and is probably the main reason for the Windows 11 requirement. 

More information is needed.     Are you talking about 2025, 2024 or both?   Who owns the HSA?  An HSA is owned by one person only, there are no joint or family HSAs.  Are you the owner, or your wife, or do you each have accounts.  How much was contributed to each account?   Are you or your wife or both age 55 or older?   How were you covered in 2024 and 2025?  If you were covered by a family HDHP, then you can contribute up to the family limit even though your wife has other coverage (such as, you kept the family plan at your job so your wife would have secondary coverage).  However, if you downgraded your coverage to single, then your limit is reduced.   We can give more specific help if you can answer these questions. 

Also, get your act together. Your original question was "I need to efile an 1120S tax return for 2024 for the State of Alaska."   First order of business, determine what you are trying to accomplish and then post the appropriate question instead of screaming at volunteers on this board who are trying to answer your (inartfully and inaccurately posed) questions.

For the excess contributions made for 2025, you have until the due date of your 2025 tax return, including extensions, to request and obtain an explicit return of the excess contribution.   With regard to an excess contribution made for 2024, it's too late to request a return of excess contribution before the due date of your 2024 tax return.  If there was an excess contribution for 2024, your 2024 tax return should already have included Form 5329 to show this excess contribution and pay the penalty and on Schedule 1 include the excess as income if deducted from your wages or not deduct the excess if you personally deposited the contribution.  If your filed 2024 tax return does not reflect the excess contribution, you need to amend your 2024 tax return.   With regard to an 2024 excess carrying forward, this would again be subject to a 6% penalty on your 2025 tax return unless you obtain an ordinary distribution from the HSA and make it taxable (and potentially subject to a 20% early-distribution penalty) by not applying it to qualified medical expenses.  If it would be subject to the 20% early-distribution penalty and you will be eligible to apply the excess as part of your HSA contribution for 2026, it would be better to just pay the 6% penalty for 2025 and reduce your new 2026 HSA contributions so as to absorb the excess toward part of your 2026 contribution limit and deduct it on your 2026 Schedule 1.

Alaska S corporations do not pay any income taxes, unlike C corporations. An S corporation with more than one shareholder is responsible for filing a tax return. The shareholders submit their personal income tax returns with their portion of the corporation's income or loss.

If you itemize your deductions, you can deduct property taxes that you pay to the city or county, if you are the person against whom the taxes are assessed.   That means that if you are a tenant and the property tax bill comes to your landlord, then you can't deduct anything even though part of your rent covers the taxes.  If you own an apartment/condo, and the city or county bills you for the taxes, you can deduct the taxes you pay (including taxes that you pay throw a mortgage escrow -- but you can only deduct the taxes paid to the city or county, not the amount in escrow, because that is still your money until it is used to pay the tax bill).    If you have some other arrangement, we need more details.
