Hello, I received this same error. I did go through the "fix" process which didn't seem to change anything at all. I resubmitted and my return has now been rejected a second time. I have no idea how to tell what I am missing or what is wrong with my return. Can anyone help?

You should not enter a state other than the correct one in any menu questions for TurboTax. Tennessee does not have an income tax (and so no need to file a state tax return, or have state withholding), and it is possible that you might leave this state option blank if you are a TN resident, but I can only speculate without more information about your problem.    Which part of state taxes are you working on, and which question in particular do you need help with? Does the page have a title? Is there a form you are entering?    TurboTax Article - Tennessee state income tax in 2025: A guide

This is amazing! Does TurboTax ever read what is going on in the community?  The social security window not opening under the wages and income tab was also the case last year with TurboTax 2024.  The way I resolved the issue last year and this year is to go to Forms and open the ssa form.  Next fill in the information in the specific items related to the SSA form you received and you are done!  Now this makes me wonder whether the TurboTax executives are using TurboTax personally?  If they were, the problem would have been fixed.  Just a thought from my warped mind.  Take Care and pass the word around.

I am afraid they are NOT working on it.  TT 2024 had the same issue...  Showed you that you get 20% off butr charged you full price.  I did the "contact TT for support thing".  They never applied the refund.   Clearly giving us the perks that we signed up for - and paid for - are not at teh top of their fix-it list.   

Your New York tax return has not been e-filed successfully due to an issue related to the New York E-File Declaration statement. This issue has now been fixed.    To re-file your New York tax return, please sign in to TurboTax, go to the File tab, and follow the prompts to e-file.

The Child Tax Credit (CTC) is only a partially refundable credit, this means only a portion of it can be refunded to you, if you qualify; the non-refundable portion is used as a normal tax credit, just to lower your tax liability for the year. This is why you would not see the Child Tax Credit reflected in your refund, because the base CTC is non-refundable. The portion of the Child Tax Credit that is refundable is called the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), and is refundable up to $1,700 for those who the CTC is greater than their tax liability. Additionally, you must have earned income of at least $2,500 to be eligible for the ACTC.    Do you need help checking your eligibility for the refundable ACTC?   Learn more: TurboTax - What is the Additional Child Tax Credit?

I got another error when e-filing the amended return. TurboTax blocks me because it expects a signature date between 01/01/2025 and 12/31/2025. It's a forever loop that I click e-file, but keep getting bounced back to the date validation.

It works for me now. What was saved in the previous version reopens fine after turbo tax update (I did my fist and only update since my previous post). Keep in mine that I enter fees, rom and board and books by DOUBLE clicking to the appropriate cell and inserting a value into the panel that opens up, then click OK. What is saved in the new version also opens up fine. I have not tried to go through the interview in the new version.

I am facing the same problem. I have been using Turbo Tax and Fidelity Import for decades. This is the first time I am facing this nasty surprise. Earlier I had issue entering my credit card information for purchasing the product -- it would not take expiration months beyond 9!! I sensed that rigor is dropping fast -- when such small errors are not only committed but testing/release rigor did not even catch this basic issue. I guess it e absence of rigor is reaching the tipping point.   I hope this is corrected.  Entering manually is not an Option. Automatic Import and Processing is one of the important reasons for using Turbo Tax. I do at least 100 trades each month -- no I am not a day trader -- but an active investor.    Look forward to hearing the good news of fix from Turbo Tax. I am usually done Taxes before Feb 1st. This time it is already February 7-8th.   Thanks in advance. 

The OBBBA (One Big Beautiful Bill Act) overtime deduction requires a valid Social Security Number (SSN) for employment to claim the deduction for tax years 2025–2028, not just a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).    The taxpayer who received the qualified overtime compensation must have a social security number valid for employment and must include the social security number on the tax return claiming the deduction. If the taxpayer is married (within the meaning of section 7703), the taxpayer and the taxpayer’s spouse must file a joint return to claim the deduction. If both spouses received qualified overtime compensation, both spouses must have a social security number valid for employment and must include both social security numbers on the tax return claiming the deduction. Thus, if you have an SSN and only you had overtime pay, then you qualify if you meet the other requirements.    This IRS questions and answers page provides the following information about qualified overtime for purposes of the new deduction:   Qualified overtime compensation is overtime compensation paid to an individual required under section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) (29 USC § 207) that exceeds the regular rate at which the individual is employed. For example, if an individual is paid at “one and one-half times” their regular rate for an hour of overtime work as required by the FLSA, the “half” portion of the “one and one-half times” paid for an hour of overtime work is qualified overtime compensation.   For overtime to be required under the FLSA, it must, among other requirements, be paid to an individual who is both covered by the FLSA and not exempt from the FLSA’s overtime requirement (an FLSA overtime-eligible employee). See Q2/A2 and Q3/A3 to determine if you are covered by and not exempt from the FLSA’s overtime requirement. An individual who is ineligible for overtime under the FLSA does not receive qualified overtime compensation regardless of other laws or circumstances (such as a collective bargaining agreement) providing for overtime pay. Individuals eligible for overtime under the FLSA generally must receive overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than one and one-half times their regular rate of pay. If an individual is eligible for overtime under the FLSA, but the individual’s employer pays more than is required under the FLSA, the qualified overtime compensation is limited to the portion of the overtime that is required by the FLSA that is in excess of the regular rate. For example, if an employer pays double the individual’s regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek, only the one-half portion that is relied upon to comply with the FLSA requirement is qualified overtime compensation.
