Hello-I am doing my daughter's 2025 taxes and her box 5 is higher than her box 1 and I have to report income for this.  The software is not carrying over the income to Schedule 1 as noted in this replay. Do I have to manually enter it.?  If so, where/how do I do this? Thanks, Vivian    

TTx is going down!      Do NOT use them! We spoke with a supervisor for 1.5 hours and she even agreed we did not use any premium features. If you clear and start over, it could happen again. The supervisor, Jacklyn, that we spoke with still refused to void the payment and advised we clear and start over. Report this as fraud.   https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/form/main
