Here's a tool that should get you directly to the estimated tax payments section.  I've also provided an alternate navigation method in a comment that follows this one.   With the return open, go to the left menu column and click on TAX TOOLS, then the subtab TOOLS. In the Tools Center choose the blue button Topic Search. In the topic search line enter the phrase estimated tax payments without quotes. Make the selection in the list (it may already be highlighted), and either double-click it or click the GO button. Next screen is Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid. Use the subtopic Estimated Tax Payments. Choose the appropriate category and tax year you are reporting (Federal, state, local) and click START or Revisit. NOTE:  Before filing, make sure your Federal estimated tax payments correctly show on the Form 1040, Line 26, and that any state estimated tax payments (if applicable) show up on your state return.

Here is what I recommend on how to exclude it.   Enter the 1099 G exactly the way it is reported, including the amount in Box 6. Go to federal>less common income miscellaneous income>other reportable income (it's at the very bottom of the screen). Enter a description: "Section 126 Exclusion Statement attached: EQIP Grant for [Project Name] Give the name of the project if this is available to you. Now enter the taxable amount preceded by a minus sign.  (eg. -1000) This will remove the income from your return. @sherertzg

what did you file for 2024?   check your Form 8606's for 2024 and 2025 to see what's happening.   the $2000 should have been a non-deductible contribution filed for 2024 tax year, and carried over on Line 14 of 2024 Form 8606 to Line 2 of 2025 Form 8606.   you should then have a $7000 contribution for 2025 on Line 1 of 2025 8606, total basis $9000.

Agree...here it is March 17th and it still is not fixed.  Why on earth since there are updates every time I load TurboTax, this has not been fixed yet?  Fortunately, I did have another credit card that was ending in month "07" but my preferred card of "12" cannot be entered no matter what I tried.

As an early poster on this discussion group, I wanted to update my situation. I gave up and entered the information from scratch. What I find disappointing is that there doesn’t seem to have been a fix for the problem. Initially, I thought it was me. Seeing all of the replies to this topic, I don’t think it’s me. Intuit needs to address this glitch in a more formal way than just having their customers help customers.

I keep seeing answers for the situation where Box 5 is larger than Box 1. It involves allocating an amount to the student as taxable. I am looking for the parent version of this student’s question.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/how-to-enter-this-in-turbotax-aoc-coordination-with-grants-and-scholarships/00/3179821

assuming by 2 step process you mean this https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/retirement-benefits/enter-backdoor-roth-ira-conversion/L7gGPjKVY_US_en_US   Check form 8606 to see what is happening - if you're getting "half" the backdoor as taxable rather than fully taxable or fully non-taxable, that probably means that you have pre-tax balance in your Trad IRAs so Form 8606 is calculating the conversion as being partially taxable (pro rata calculation).  Did you have a MV in your Trad IRAs as of 12/31/25?

The Kentucky instructions say on page 10:  "Soldiers will claim the exemption by excluding military pay when filing a Kentucky individual income tax return starting with the 2010 return. Provided the military member has no income other than military pay, he or she would not be required to file a Kentucky income tax return." However, this assumes that you consider Kentucky to be your home of record. What is your home of record and where are you actually stationed?

I just created a student profile with scholarship and left enough to cover $4,000 for AOTC. It gave the $2500 AOTC as it should. I claimed it had been taken in prior years. I entered the 1098-T, books, room and board. I tried to answer in all the areas. Since you started back in February and there have been updates, I recommend you delete your entries.   A full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files). Online version: Delete the form/ worksheet- if possible, see How to Delete   Log out of your return and try one or more of the following: Don't use Internet Explorer. Clear cache and cookies, Sign in using a different browser. Sign in using a different device. Log back into your return. Enter the information again.  Desktop version:  Delete the form Save your return while closing the program. Update the program Open Enter the information again.

I am definitely having a problem with 1099-INT forms. I am uploading them from my laptop and going through all the steps for each one, but in the end, TurboTax just shows the income from one. Very frustrating!
