So sorry for your loss.   For 2024, the year that he passed, you were allowed to file a joint return.  Now with a filing status of Single, start a new account with a new user ID.   You need to do that because using the old account will cause all kinds of errors for you; the embedded information about the spouse just cannot all be removed effectively.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596     https://blog.turbotax.intuit.com/tax-planning-2/tax-implications-for-taxpayers-who-have-lost-a-spouse-45419/    

It depends. If your only income is active military duty, then no, you do not need to file a VA return. If you have other income from VA, you might need to file. See Who Must File if you had additional income.

Why am I STILL not able to get the update on my IMAC for form 5695.  I have received three emails saying the update is available.  Trying doing update, program says no updates available.  Restarted the computer did not help.  Is this available or not and when will the problem be corrected

Let's try a couple other things. Let's look specifically at the Schedule K. The program may be flagging a contribution that was imported or entered at the entity level.   In Forms Mode, open your Schedule K (the entity’s summary). Find the line for Charitable Contributions (usually Line 13 for 1065 or Line 12 for 1120-S). I know you said they were blank, but is there maybe a space entered? It would look blank but TurboTax would see it as an entry, possibility from the imports you did. Double-click the field to see which supporting worksheet is providing that data and delete it. If the forms are clear but the error persists during the Review phase, try this: Switch back to Step-by-Step mode. Go to the Business Expenses or Deductions tab. Find the Charitable Contributions section. Even if it says $0, click Update or Edit. If any item is listed in the summary table, Delete the entire row rather than just changing the amount to zero. Finally, if you still cannot proceed, ensure the software is fully updated for the 2025 Tax Year. Occasionally, filing blocks for specific forms occur if the IRS has not yet finalized the electronic filing schema for that form. Go to the Online menu at the top and select Check for Updates.   Hoping this solves it.

Yes but that information is not relevant to my issue. I didn’t file my taxes with IRS. I filed them with TurboTax, the IRS haven’t even received my taxes. I checked I’m trying to get in contact with somebody with TurboTax. This was the only year that I ever used TurboTax Help with an expert which I paidand suddenly I’m delayed two days to get accepted I’ve been filing since 2018 with TurboTax and I get accepted the same day or next day. I literally just helped my sister do her Taxes an hour ago. She just got her notification of acceptance so I’m not understanding this is my sister‘s first year using TurboTax, it’s not an issue of being impatient I know that it open today I know they do a test batch. I know that I know all of that but it just doesn’t seem right that this year I’m waiting two days and last year there was a batch of people that TurboTax never sent their taxes to IRS I just hope I’m not that case this year

You can use the same email for up to five returns online, but --- and this is very important----each return needs its own account and its own user ID.     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  

No, it is not necessary to update your federal Schedule A. You are entitled to that full amount even though your California tax is less. It does not matter if your final California tax liability is lower for you to claim your full deduction on your federal return. 

You can use the same email address for 5 accounts and returns. You can start another return in TurboTax Online by: Logging out if you are in your account Choose what TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/compare/online Create your account screen Set up a new login for the second return Start working on the new return Or use the Desktop program.

So you could use a lower version than you might need in the Online version.
