There is NO where to enter information for the 1099-SSA. The input "button" only returns back to the same pages and does not allow for any input.  I have been using TT for over 20 years and this is the FIRST time I was not able to begin my taxes in mid February.

Hi Dave,   I live abroad and have several friends who have the exact same issue.  Turbotax Desktop Home and Business is calculating a huge amount of AMT that we do not owe.     I spent 90 minutes on the phone with TT yesterday with a product expert, but she could not help.  I then paid $60 for Live Assist and requested a call back.  Unfortunately, TT cannot call international numbers.  So I am stuck.   I have pinpointed the exact line number on Form 1116 AMT where there is a glitch.     There must be thousands of taxpayers living abroad who will benefit from a prompt solution.     Please help us with this issue.   Thank you.

I ran into a similar situation today using Turbotax Premier Desktop 2025.    During the entry of information in TurboTax  there was a question about having any Foreign accounts and the answer provide was NO.    When running the Federal review I had to answer questions on Schedule B about foreign accounts and trusts. I do not have any and have double checked all data input 2x for possible errors and there are none.   In looking over Schedule B Part III it says you must complete this part if you a) have over $ 1500 of taxable interest or ordinary dividends (I do not) b) had a foreign account (I did not) or c)received distributions from or were a grantor of or a transferor to a foreign account (again a No)   Lines 7a and 8 are the ones that had to have NO selected. Any idea why this might be happening ?  

Thank you! What is still puzzling me is that this is royalty from essentially intellectual property (reported on a 1099-misc) and that entering the information using this approach seemed like it was more geared to real estate royalties. When I declared that this was a Royalty (not using Other) and then marked it as not a QBI then the data flowed to Schedule E and line 8 of the 1040.  I initially tried declaring it Other it and it wanted rental information which is not what this is. So for now it looks like the royalty information got where it needs to be although the the path was not intuitive given that it was reported on the 1099-Misc. Have a good weekend!  

Hello,    I am having this issue. I have removed the form and entered it in manually multiple times and also tried uploading an image of the document. Every time it is changing the state to Indiana when it should be Arkansas. I have verified that the correct zip code is on the 1098-T form with the link provided in previous posts. The zip code on the 1098-T form matches the zip code for Clarksville, AR. However, it is still changing it to Clarksville, IN. I have looked up the zip code for Clarksville, IN and it is not even close to the zip code on my 1098-T. How do I fix this issue? I have tried clearing the caches. I don't want to restart everything completely as I have already paid the fee for filing my taxes and it is not a guarantee my issue will be fixed. 

Supposedly amending will open on February 19.    However, you should wait for the IRS to fully process the original return, and first receive your refund (if applicable) before amending.   In the meantime, do not make any changes in the original return.   It has to start off exactly like it was filed when you begin the amending process.   If you amend a Federal return, you may also have to amend the state return.

Thanks for the answer mesquitebean. I was using tables from Morgan Stanley that give income bracket steps that give a percentage to  calculate the tax over the previous step. So it's linear rather than the IRS tables which as you stated are in $50 steps. The extra penny that doesn't show up in the rounded $82,350 put me into the next bracket which costs me $11. I was more worried about the software than the $11 so thanks for setting me straight.
