Yeah I'm not seeing that either. That screenshot I posted earlier is the only thing I see besides a prompt to start my 2025 return on the Tax Home section.   I will say, I have already filed my 2025 return with a different account ID. Could that be causing a problem?

I did a mock return for Pennsylvania and all 1099-MISC forms had their income reported on PA 40.  The one thing that I did notice is that each 1099-MISC had to be edited to enter required Pennsylvania information.  From what I read on your posting, I wasn't sure if you had 1000 transactions reported on one 1099-MISC or if your had 1000 1099-MISC forms.  Do you know if your Federal income from the 1099-MISC is being reported correctly?  If so, the same amount should be carrying over to your Pennsylvania return as well.  Were you able to edit the 1099-MISC forms on your Pennsylvania return to show the type of income it was?  There is also a checkbox for each of the 1099-MISC entries for PA in TurboTax to make it non-taxable - if any of those are checked accidentally, that could be throwing off the calculation of the correct amount of income.   If you have additional questions or concerns, please reply back with as much detail as possible as that will help us to better help you.

There was more than one explanation shared in this thread and I am not sure what you tried. Here's another explanation of the steps for both the Federal return (to report the income) and for the New York return (to subtract the income there).    Because the special New York Inflation Refund is not a regular tax refund but a special payment that is taxable at the Federal level, you can report it instead in Other Reportable Income. In TurboTax Online:   From the left menu, go to Federal and select the first tab, Wages & Income Add more income by scrolling down to the last option, Less Common Income, and Show more Scroll down to the last option, Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C and Start Choose the last option, Other reportable income and Start and Yes Enter the applicable description and amount and Continue   Then, to subtract an item of income from your New York return that was included in your Federal return income (because it's not taxable for New York), you can enter that subtraction in TurboTax Online at the screen in your New York return labeled "Changes to Federal Income".  Look under Other New York Adjustments to Federal Income, and select Start next to Other changes (adjustments) to your federal income to make the subtraction entry. You should not have a zero in total payments and withholding unless you entered a zero in a field where that will cause an error, such as may occur if you entered the payment in the state tax refund section. The "Total of all your payments and withholding" field in the state refund interview includes amounts from your W-2 (Box 17), estimated tax payments, and any extension payments from the prior tax year. This is why we are recommending that the special New York Inflation Refund NOT be entered as a tax refund.   @lwkaufman 

TirboTax asks the question to help ensure that it was posted correctly, and that you didn't miss anything. Do you have a state posted in box 15 If the 1099-INT box 17  is blank or zero, enter zero.

You can search the form but first it has to be added.  You have to make an input into the schedule D that requires a form 8949.  At that point the system will add it to the return and you can search it.  But it won't be added unless it is needed based on entries.

La réponse demeure la même,     Vérifiez que l'établissement que vous fréquentez est admissible aux frais de scolarité fédéral : Établissements d'enseignement admissible situés à l'extérieur du Canada  et au provincial: Frais admissibles   Entrez vos frais de scolarité dans la section fédéral avec votre TL11A et ensuite à la case B du Relevé 8 sur la page suivante.  

That depends on how you filed in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.  I assume you did not remove the excess.  Did you include form 5329 in each of those years and pay penalties?  Did you include form 8606 in 2021 to track the non-deductible basis?   Also, let's clarify what you mean by "Excess".  In 2021, you could contribute up to $6000 to any IRA, or $7000 if you were over age 50, or up to the amount of your compensation from working (wages or self-employment income).  You can contribute that amount no matter what your other income and tax situations are.  You might not be allowed to contribute to a Roth IRA, and you might not be allowed to take a tax deduction, but you can always contribute $6000 (or $7000).  And the IRA broker should not allow you to contribute more than that amount, unless you have more than one IRA account at different brokers.   So to start, what do you really mean by "excess"?   Did you include form 8606 with your 2021 return?   Did you make any additional non-deductible contributions in following years, and if so, did you include form 8606 to update your basis? Did you include form 5329 on your 2021 and every following year tax return?

You need to review your entries for your state identification number for your W2 Forms.  You can enter 0 ahead of the numbers.  To correct this you will need to go back and review your W2 forms, to go back to this section:   Go to the W-2 screen under Wages & Income Select Work on my W-2 and Continue   Answers to Frequently Asked Questions Regarding W-2s  

If you downloaded a TurboTax Desktop product that you previously purchased that included a state return, you may need to download your state again.     Try starting a new return, enter some basic info, then go to the State tab and redownload the state.  Then open the return you were working on and your state should be there.   @luisadelavoce 

@RogerD1 ’s suggested steps resolved the issue for me.   I originally omitted the 1098T form from my filing as TurboTax help info suggested that it should be entered on my son‘s tax return instead.  Following these steps allowed the “Smart Check” to complete without any errors.
