Go to Federal> Deductions and Credits> Your Home to enter mortgage interest, property taxes, and mortgage insurance that you paid in 2025   You should have a 1098 from your mortgage lender that shows this information.  Lenders send these in January/early February or you may be able to import the 1098 from the lender’s website.

When you use online TurboTax you pay for every return, and federal and state have separate fees.   You get one return per fee.  There is no discount for preparing multiple returns online----sorry.     When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.   Each return needs its own account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596  

Sure enough, in prior years, the follow-up question is:   "For the years you received these distributions, was the amount shown in box 2a of the form 1099-R used as the taxable amount?"   Then I can select  "Yes, the amount in box 2a was used as the taxable amount"   (and those are their bolding, not mine) _____________________   @dmertz   I suspect the new wording for 2025 (eliminating the box 2a words) will cause a whole host of messes for folks who have a 1099-R which actually lists a  box 2a value lower than box 1 for (say) after tax contributions. 

Are you an employee of Fidelity?   A W-2 is a document you receive from an employer.     Or do you mean you are trying to import some other kinds of tax documents from Fidelity -- such as a 1099R or 1099B?   Most financial institutions do not have those documents ready for import into tax software until later in the season.   They might put them on their site for you to print or see, but they are not yet formatted for import into tax software.   If you want to enter them before importing is possible, then you can key in the information by hand.

Si. Siempre y cuando no la hayas enviado por correo, ni electrónicamente, puedes hacer cualquier corrección sin problemas. Puedes hacer los cambios necesarios en el formulario o el programa que estás usando y procedes enviarla cuando esté todo corregido.

That is correct. You normally do not enter anything from the 5498 on your return.   Note that in certain cases, such as in overcontributing to an IRA, you may want to refer to the 5498 to determine what to enter, but otherwise, just put the 5498 in your tax file along with your other papers.

I wasn't responding to you. I was responding to the commentor who asked why "Turbo tax didn't see this coming". I don't know why it didn't add it as a reply to them since that is where I pushed the respond button. Weird format. 

Suggest you read through the responses from op;  this suggestion(clear DNS  cache and release/renew IP) are not relevant to this issue (Intuit activation tracking via PC fingerprinting).  90% of the responders indicated the recommendation did not fix their issue.   Just because good security practices (VHD, encryption, etc) may be foreign to you, doesn't mean they are not widely used.    With regard to an apology, if one were due, one would be made.   🙂
