What tax year?   If you mean your 2025 return you are way ahead of yourself.    You cannot amend a 2025 return now.   The IRS has not even begun to accept/reject 2025 returns.   If you mean you need to amend a past year return:   Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US?uid=m76mq6z2       Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return

Child support is not entered on a tax return.    Unemployment benefits are taxable income.   Did you have any other income in addition to the unemployment?       Who has to file? http://www.irs.gov/uac/Do-I-Need-to-File-a-Tax-Return%3F

You cannot use desktop download software on an iPad or any other mobile device.  If you want to use desktop download you need a full PC or Mac.   https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/     If you only have an iPad, you can use online TurboTax.  With online, you get one return per fee.  Federal and state returns have separate fees with online.  

Others have also reported that the "items" donations for charities....that it isn't fully ready for entering those donations properly.....   Look for a software update on either 15 January, and if not then try again on 22 January.  Then see if reviewing it either adds some questions that might need answering...or goes away entirely.

Nothing worked. So i just started my 2025 from the beginning.  As I recall, I had the same problem last year when I could not import my 2023 Turbo Tax info into my 2024.  It seems as this is a recurring problem.  I have all of my past turbo Tax files on my iMac desktop, so I never can understand why each year the new version of Turbo tax cannot find the previous year’s version to import.  What a pain.

Are you possibly adding up all of your itemized deductions without taking into consideration that many itemized expenses have limits or thresholds based on your AGI? Because of IRS limitations, itemized deductions don't always add up dollar to dollar.    Medical expenses: only the portion of medical and dental that is great than 7.5% of your AGI is deductible.  State and Local Taxes (SALT):  For 2025 and 2026, the maximum SALT deduction is $40,000 for MFJ, Single, and HOH ($20,000 for MFS).   Mortgage interest: this varies depending on when you took out the mortgage. But if it was after 2017, for MFJ, Single, and HOH, the debt limit is $750,000 ($375,000 MFS).  Charitable contributions: Generally, this is limited to 60% of AGI for cash gifts and 30% of AGI for non-cash donations.    How to check your itemized vs. standard deductions:    First, in TurboTax Online, double-check all entries in itemized deduction categories. Then, go to Tax Tools > Tools > View Tax Summary. This should give you a comparison between itemized and standard deductions, as well as your AGI.    If you still feel that the itemized deduction would be better, you can manually override.  Go to the Deductions and Credits section. When you get to the screen that says, "Based on what you told us, the standard deduction is best for you", look for an option to "Change my deduction" and manually select itemized. Caution: This may result in a higher tax bill.    If you still feel there is an issue, contact TurboTax customer support to check for technical issues.
