This is correct.   Scholarships in excess of tuition and fees required for enrollment or attendance at the educational institution, or for fees, books, supplies, and equipment required for courses at the educational institution are taxable.    So in your case, if you have other fees or books nd supplies, you can add them to education expenses to lower the taxable amount of scholarships.   For more information, read this IRS document.

It can be totally random.....Millions of people e-filed in early January and some of them are still waiting too.   Sorry----the IRS does not want its computers to crash and neither do you.   Be patient.   And.....if you are getting earned income credit or additional child tax credit---you will be waiting until at least early March for your refund no matter how soon they accept your e-file.

It depends. If you are unable to determine the fair market value (FMV) on the date of death of your great-great grandmother then you should use $0 as the cost basis.

You are seeing this because the amount of Medicare taxes withheld in box 6 is Not exactly 1.45% of the Medicare wages in box 5.  Remove any cents for the Medicare taxes and see if the upgrade message goes away. OR - Delete the w-2 and re-enter.  Make sure the amount in box 6 is 1.45% or less of the amount in box 5.

This is a TT issue that is affecting everyone this year trying to allocate federal withholdings for community property MFS purposes. There are many posts about it on these forums. If you search "community withholding subtract" you'll see plenty recents complaints. The software is adding, instead of subtracting, negative federal withholding adjustments. Hopefully they fix it soon. @LeticiaF1 

Go to Tax Tools on the left side of the screen and then click 'Tools'.   Then click 'Delete a Form'.   Find the form that you want to delete and then select it and then click 'Delete Selected Form'    Be careful - forms link together and if you delete something unintentionally it can cause problems later.

    "old taxes"    How old?     Each tax year has to be filed separately using the forms for the specific tax year.  They cannot be combined in any way--do not even put them in the same envelope when you mail them.  Software for past years is available back to 2022.  Any earlier years can only be prepared on paper forms by hand--and those refunds have been forfeited now.   The current online program can only be used for a 2025 return--no other year.  And if you did not file a timely 2024 return you will have trouble e-filing 2025.  When it asks for your 2024 AGI try using zero.  If zero does not work then you have to print, sign and mail 2025.     It might be better for you to seek local paid tax help in a situation when you are several years behind in filing your tax returns.  Do you even have all of the documents you will need to enter and show your income—like your W-2’s and any 1099’s?     You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2025 only.   Only a 2025 return can be prepared online and only a 2025 return can be e-filed.   Online preparation and e-filing for 2022, 2023, and  2024 is permanently closed. Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.   To file a return for a prior tax year  If you need to prepare a return for 2022, 2023, or 2024  you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s) https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/ You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.   Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
