You are confusing  desktop download routines with online.     There is no "Add New Return" with online.   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

@user17692885947    Some folks have apparently seen that form be required, if the $$ in box 6 of the W-2 , are not exactly 1.45% of box 5.   One thing that has worked for some, is to drop the cents in the box 6 value.  There may be some strange rounding issue that's messing it up, and being a bit below 1.45% isn't usually an issue.

It depends. If you meet the all the qualifications you can claim your daughter as a dependent.  The key element here is that if your daughter did not provide more than half of her own support then only you would be entitled to claim her as a dependent.  If she is claimed as a dependent she is not allowed to claim anyone else as a dependent, even her own child. .   Qualifying child: They're related to you. They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a US citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students). There's no age limit for permanently and totally disabled children. They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply). They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year. Use the links below for further assistance.  Who may I claim as a dependent? IRS Publication 501 This answer assumes your child was a full time college student for at least some part of five different months during the calendar year.

Perhaps you should delete that form and try to enter it again.....make sure you "Type it in Myself".   after first deleting the form, make sure there are not any tax-exempt $$ showing anymore. .....Don't import the form, don't upload a picture or PDF for...just  Enter Another Way and "Type it in Myself".  

Your employer must meet specific Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requirements to qualify.  If your employer doesn't meet these qualifications, then you do not have qualifying overtime. Qualified Overtime Deduction Rules   The overtime description is as follows under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA):  'For tax years 2025 through 2028, individuals who receive qualified overtime compensation may deduct the pay that exceeds their regular rate of pay (generally, the “half” portion of “time-and-a-half” compensation) that is required by the Fair Labor Standards Act and reported on a Form W-2, Form 1099, or other specified statement furnished to the individual.' (Overtime Received in 2025)

For anyone else who stumbles across this, I'm not happy with this solution but what worked for me was paying for the (what should be free) service through the app via apple pay. It then allowed me to get the money through direct deposit.

Maybe you are waiting for some forms.  Click Review to see if you are missing some forms needed in order to e-file.   Many federal and state forms are not yet available.  Check here for form availability. The dates are subject to change.   Tax form availability tool     Be patient.    IF you e-file now, your return will go into “pending” until the IRS starts to accept/reject returns in late January. You cannot make any changes while the return is on the server. The IRS will start to accept/reject 2025 e-files on January 26.   And….a state return cannot be accepted until after the IRS accepts your federal return.         https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-announces-first-day-of-2026-filing-season-online-tools-and-

I was navigating correctly.  I have resolved the issue. But I'm not sure which of these two actions resolved it: 1) my new computer only had TurboTax 2025 installed on it. I'm not sure if it wouldn't transfer from the 2024 files because I didn't have the 2024 version installed on it. So, I installed 2025 version on my old computer and was able to do the transfer on my old computer.  2) I have my network folders mapped, when I navigated to the mapped folders the .tt files weren't available, but when I went directly to the network folder, I was able to find the .tt files.  Either way, I've been able to transfer over the 2024 data to the 2025 returns.  Thank you for your quick response.
