I am trying to use TurboTax Premier via a Desktop download in Windows 11. Each time I load my TT program, a message entitled, Unexpected Error (no error number shown), followed by, "System.Runtime.Serialization... ."pops up. When I click OK the message goes away after a few seconds, and the program seems to open OK. However, while doing my taxes, just prior to the review section, when I responded to the TurboTax screen which said (paraphrasing), ...before we do a review let's check for updates... . At that point the Unexpected error msg popped up again, but everything froze, as in nothing works. I cannot move forward or back. I only hear a soft beep when I try to click on anything. I can use Task Manager to get out of TT and go back and start over again, but once back inside TT I get the same "Frozen" result each time. I am stuck and need help to resolve this error problem.

As a retired employee, your retirement income is generally reported on Form 1099-R, not a Form W-2.    If you haven't received your Form 1099-R, you should contact your plan administrator or the federal agency’s payroll office to request a copy.    You may also obtain the information from your IRS Wage and Income Transcript if it's available there. Always verify the amounts carefully before filing

I am very sorry for your loss. You're correct that Virginia Senate Bill 236 establishes a $2,000 refundable tax credit for any birth during the tax year; however, this bill is only for tax years starting in 2026 - so, next tax season.    Tag us with @username and any Employee Tax Expert will be eager to help out with next year's state taxes.

Where you enter the sale depends on what kind of real estate you sold. Was it your primary home? a second home or vacation home? a rental property? other investment property? bare land? a farm? etc. etc.? Did you personally own the real estate, and were you the only owner?  
Can you please clarify what state you are working on?

My 2025 MFJ TurboTax Deluxe 2025 e-filed return was rejected with code IND-032-04.  I understand this code refers to missing or erroneous AGI, or missing or erroneous PIN.  My wife passed away in 2025.  I see that I failed to enter her AGI in the original submittal, and I have now corrected that.   However, I do not see anywhere to enter her 2024 tax return PIN.     Shall I assume the error was only the missing AGI, and refile, or is there somewhere on the return I am supposed to have provided her PIN?  Thank you.
