Sorry--you misunderstood.   The license code is for the desktop download software that must be used on a full PC or Mac in order to have the five federal e-files.    You cannot pay for online TurboTax using that code.   When you use online TurboTax you get one return per fee, and pay separate fees for federal and state returns.

You will need to amend the tax return to add the Form 1095-A.   The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/25/2026   An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

Thank you! Yesterday I spent from 2:15pm to 6:20pm on the phone with multiple TurboTax support reps in several departments and none of them knew this. I had to refuse, HARD, paying $60 for Live Advice ("I don't need CPA advice, this is a TurboTax bug" was met by "I can't come to that conclusion until it is confirmed by a CPA.") I was also told, "If TurboTax shows no errors, your return is correct." Three times, during screen share, I deleted and reentered the problematic 1099-DIV, and the 3rd time, it worked! That is crazy and frustrating!  The good thing was that I could see that I entered the 1099-DIV forms correctly and easily saw that one amount was being ignored. Today my challenge is to reconcile a $1000 discrepancy for Interest on U.S. obligations on my Georgia form. Unfortunately, I don't think there is anywhere in TurboTax that I can see what amounts it is including. When I ask for "Data source," some worksheets are mentioned but I cannot find those anywhere. I tried to address this with the last rep I spoke with, from the Resolutions Desk, but the call was disconnected and she did not call back. 

The doc number shouldn't include "IDUSA".  Try to enter the first 3 characters after the "IDUSA." Some other users experienced errors with incorrect issue and expiry dates, so double check they are correct and not swapped as well.    For more information, see Where do I find my document number so that I can e-file my New York return?

Wrong. Example: Question ID: 94815838 (Topic: Filing Requirements and Due Date) Bernie e-filed his 2024 tax return on April 15, 2025. Two weeks later, he received another Form W-2 in the mail that he had forgotten about. What should Bernie do? X. Bernie should contact the IRS by phone and ask them to prepare an amended return on his behalf. CORRECT ANSWER. Bernie should prepare Form 1040-X to include the additional Form W-2.CORRECT ANSWER X. Bernie should wait for an audit notice and an automatic bill from the IRS. wrong X. Bernie should prepare another Form 1040 to include the additional Form W-2. BERNIE should prepare Form 1040-X to include the additional Form W-2. Taxpayers should file amended returns using Form 1040-X to correct any errors or omissions on a return they have already filed.

Yes, depending on the amount I put in that box, I also get some or all of AOC credit. So what makes you think it’s not correct? Or a better question is - forget about AOC credit for a sec, think about 529 distribution and the fact that unless you show how it was spent, it will become taxable income. So where else are you going to enter room and board expenses? 

I am posting to report this issue with a rejected e-filed amended 2024 Federal Tax return. The error message received for the rejection is: "IND-689-01 - The year of the 'PrimarySignatureDt' in the Return Header must be equal to the processing year". TurboTax, by requiring the signature date to be in 2025, while the amended return is being e-filed for processing in 2026, is the cause of the rejection. The 2024 TurboTax application should allow today's date. Could someone in TurboTax product management please look into this and either: 1. Confirm that limiting the 2024 TurboTax desktop application to E-filing during 2025 is intentional. 2. If not intentional indicate if a fix will be implemented and if so a rough estimate of when the function to E-file will restored.

To e-file the 2025 tax return you need to enter the 2024 AGI as shown on the 2024 Form 1040 Line 11.   See this for the AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/find-last-year-agi/L0SiDtTNI_US_en_US?uid=mlwgf81c    

So sorry for your loss.   If your spouse passed in 2024, you could file a joint return for 2024.   Now for your 2025 return----  only if you have qualified dependent children---you can file as a qualified surviving spouse.   If you do not have a qualifying dependent child, then you will now file Single.   When your filing status changes to Single, you should start a new account with a new user ID.   If you use the old account that was used for past year joint returns, the embedded spouse information will cause lots of errors for you.   Start a new account with a different email, account and user ID.  Keep a record of how to access the old account; returns will be saved in that account for seven years.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596 https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/  

Thank you for trying to help me.  I actually withdrew the 429.00 plus 11.34 in interest. Fidelity is sending me a check.  I am still a little confused, however.  As I am doing my 2025 taxes, the 429 is included as income and as previously stated; the penalty of 46.00 is there, but I won't actually get a 1099-SA until next January, as I took the distribution in 2026, correct? So does that mean I have to claim the 429 as income again next year? And, since I won't have the 1099-SA, I'm not sure where the 11.34 in interest will be claimed....next year as well?
