As @VolvoGirl stated, you can find the at-risk questions again by going back to the Business / Self-employed section of your return. The questions appear in the follow-up section after the main screen where you enter the income and expense items.   If you have a business loss and amounts invested in the business for which you are not at risk, you may need to apply a limitation that could reduce your deductible loss. The at-risk rules generally limit the amount of loss (including loss on the disposition of assets) you can claim to the amount you could actually lose in the business.   Amounts not at-risk include the following:   Nonrecourse loans used to finance the business, to acquire property used in the business, or to acquire the business that are not secured by your own property (other than property used in the business). However, there is an exception for certain nonrecourse financing borrowed by you in connection with holding real property. Cash, property, or borrowed amounts used in the business (or contributed to the business, or used to acquire the business) that are protected against loss by a guarantee, stop-loss agreement, or another similar arrangement (excluding casualty insurance and insurance against tort liability). Amounts borrowed for use in the business from a person who has an interest in the business, other than as a creditor, or who is related under section 465(b)(3)(C) to a person (other than you) having such an interest. If you didn't borrow funds to finance the business or its assets under circumstances such as these, then you can answer "not applicable".   See IRS Publication 925 and this TurboTax tips article for more information regarding the at-risk rules.   @linneaonan

Thank you @DaveF1006 . I should have mentioned that I tried that approach already. The checkbox for "Nontaxable Medicaid waiver payments" is not in the list on the "Let's check for uncommon situations" screen when there is an entry for this in box 12. When I delete the box 12 entry the option is available on that screen, but when I re-add the box 12 entry with code II for medicaid waiver payments, the option is removed from the list on the"Let's check for uncommon situations" screen.    Would you recommend I delete the box 12 entry so i can check the box on the "Let's check for uncommon situations" screen and add the income there, or add $1 in box 1, or is there some other approach?

Amen, pay all the money for TurboTax Business and TurboTax Deluxe and a bug in your software renders it useless and you can't get anyone to get it fixed.  Great service, I hear H&R Block may be more responsive after they take all your money....   Is this fixed yet??  If not when is it going to be fixed???

Same here. We’re all on the same boat. My CA refund was issued on 2/3, Tuesday, and as of today, Saturday, 2/7, it has not hit my bank. The routing number for Cross River Bank is shown on my Tax transcript under page 9, 8543-OL form. We’ll just have to, I guess, wait for a couple business days more to see our refund. If I don’t receive it by 2/11, there needs to be some escalation going on.

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".   After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

Agree this is a glitch.  Every year they have a "glitch" in the on-line version of their software.  "Helps determine if you're eligible for certain tax credits".... or whatever - I am not asking for any credits.  I'm leaving it blank, and if the IRS comes asking (they won't) i will refer them to Intuit.  Besides - does the IRS really need to know if you live where they think you live for any amount of time during the year if you are not asking for any credits?  My parents live in Europe and file US taxes there fro their SS income and investment income.  They have no US address (just a forwarding service).  They aren't asking for an EIC break either so....

@Mpasho001    No one can hazard even a guess.. ...you need to provide information about 1)   what tax form/document you are asking about. 2)  What numbers...if they ask for something in a specific area. 3)  If it's some state number or $$, what state you live in.   That's a starting point...maybe more questions to follow.  

The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/19/2026   An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk

I just tried the updated Desktop version and it is not fixed. It still treats all of the 529 distribution as taxable and there is no place to enter room and board. This is my 4th kid that I needed to do partially taxable 529 distributions for because of scholarships and it is definitely still not fixed for 2025.
