Thank you, I did enter it correctly and 5b is -0-.  Spouse went on Medicare this year and the Summary Income showing this 401k rollover to IRA as Income and seeing it as a Pension caused me to panic for IRMAA.  For MAGI purposes the right column matters so the -0- in 5b is what is computed for MAGI.  Thank you for the detailed explanation and confirmation. 

If we consider these as cryptocurrency, then you would report the transactions by selecting 1099-DA even though you don't have a form.  In this case, you can select, first to skip import and when you make your selection choose 'Other' and then you will be allowed to make a selection of the type of investment. Name can be Crypto or something similar Crypto > Type of Investment can be 'Other' > I purchased it > Description Continue to answer the questions  If you use Something other than a date and select Various - be prepared to answer the questions about holding period. Additional information for your to consider for summary transactions.   A solution can be to enter summary transactions if you have many transactions. Your brokerage statements should include a summary of your transactions, grouped by sales category, for example, Box A short-term covered or Box D long-term covered.   You can always use direct entry if you choose, with summary totals.  The only exception if wash sales, which must be entered separately, if you have any. Where do I enter Form 1099-B? (Ignore import) How do I mail Form 8453? (review if alerted) Holding Periods: Long term is a holding period of more than one year (one year plus one day) and receives capital gain tax treatment (0%, 10%, 15%, 20% depending on your regular rate of tax) Short term is a holding period of one year or less and receives ordinary gain tax treatment (your regular rate) @thepep 

Same issue here with the desktop software version. Read that sometimes there is delay in availability of import even after PNC issues PDF's to clients. Contacted my banker- will followup if I hear anything.

@user17716983577 I believe it was noted the IRS delayed from the initial planed  revision date (02/18/2026?)  to just last week (02/25/2026) so hence the delay.  Also you need to allow a day or two for the Intuit team to apply the fixes, test, and "pack and ship" out to all of us users, which I suspect they don't do all at once but phase them possibly by geography.    

And just to clarify my own answer, we are talking about the "kiddie tax" and there are two ways to approach this.   The section for "report a child's income on your return" only applies to your child, which is not the case.   However, if you are under age 24 and have certain types of income, then your income can be subject to the higher kiddie tax rates instead of the normal rates, and you may be asked some extra questions and you will see a higher rate in some cases.  See @Hal_Al 's answer for your options.     Note that if you report the income in the educational section, you should delete the 1099-G from that section.  If the IRS sends an automated letter asking about the 1099-G, you can explain that you reported it in the scholarship section. 

There may be a reason why TurboTax thinks you have reached your limit of 5 e-filed returns. The limit may have been triggered by any rejected returns that were resubmitted, or multiple installations on different computers can sometimes trigger this prematurely.  An amended return may also count toward your e-file limit.   You can check this by reviewing your e-file history in TurboTax Desktop  by going to File, Electronic Filing, Show Electronic Filing Status History to see which returns were counted as e-filed.    Additional returns may have to be printed and mailed, or you can purchase a new license. However, the IRS limits you to five e-filed returns per email address, user, and computer IP address.  This limit is addressed in IRS Publication 1345.   If you believe this is an error, you should contact TurboTax Support using this link: Turbo Tax customer support.     Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.

I don’t believe you can e-file with the error.  I was on the phone for over 2 hours with different representatives at Turbtax. Nobody knows how to fix it. One person told me to split the real estate taxes between the 2 8829’s which is wrong. One person told me call a CPA which almost made me lose my mind.  They opened a case for me and someone was supposed to email me by today. I have heard nothing.  So frustrating.
