The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 03/04/2026   Forms and schedules availability website - https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product...   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. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-curr...

I am unable to modify the expiration month for a new credit card as well. Turbo Tax Deluxe Desktop, desktop computer with mouse, no touchscreen. I tried both of the suggested workarounds, (scroll only then hit enter & tab to month and enter 2 digit number) and neither worked. Please help.

LIQUIDATION DISTRIBUTIONS Liquidation distributions, reported on Form 1099-DIV, are distributed when a corporation in which you own stock is going through a partial or complete liquidation. They may be received in the form of cash or noncash. An amount designated as a cash or noncash distribution is often not taxable, but is a reduction of your basis in the stock. So when you dispose of the stock, your basis for figuring gain or loss is reduced by the amount in this box. (It will result in a larger gain or a smaller loss when you dispose of the stock.) However, if the basis of your stock is already zero, or is less than the amount shown in this box, the amount is taxable and you need to report the amount that exceeds the basis in your stock as either a long-term or a short-term capital gain. If this liquidation is a final distribution from the company, you need to report a sale of the stock on Schedule D/ Form 8949     you can even skip entering the 1099 if that's the only line with an amount. TurboTax does not use it, it does not appear on Schedule B. The info is not transmitted as part of your e-file      Form 8949 is the proper place to report it      

@skaufmann , going back to our discussion re: Schedule-SE. While working on another 1116 issue, I came across Schedule-2 for 2025 and there is a box to check if you live/ earn in a foreign country with totalization agreement.  Turbo does have that box ( but I have not had a chance to test this yet ).  The instructions for Schedule-2 says ---  "If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien living outside the United States and your self-employment income is exempt from self-employment tax, you should get a statement from the appropriate agency of the foreign country verifying that your self-employment income is subject to social security in that country. Attach a copy of the statement, check box 3, and enter “EAS” on the entry space next to box 3."   Ref :  2025 Instruction 1040 -- page 112   Hope this helps

I have found it that whether you select Yes or No on Enabling Property, TurboTax does not actually check the Yes or No box on the return itself for 25a-e.  You can check this yourself on the Download/Print Return (PDF) option.     No idea when they will actually fix the glitch.  I spend a couple hours on this and another glitch with an agent the other day. 

I ended up calling the DOR number.  They are pretty quick to answer and very helpful.   I resubmitted my Wisconsin taxes at 7:50 AM this morning (2/27/2026) and received a notice that the taxes were accepted at 10:37AM this morning.  I went to my TurboTax application and did a "Check e-file Status" and I have a message that now shows the taxes are accepted by the state.  So I think this should be working for people with retirement income.  I see "mikobr" also was able to get his taxes submitted last night so that is all good information to have.   While I am happy this problem appears to be resolved, it leaves me little comfort that I received such a runaround and outright falsehoods as to whose problem this was, along with no acknowledgement as to what really went wrong as they missed multiple promised target dates to get this resolved.  I will keep this in mind when purchasing the 2026 tax year.  My taxes are not that complicated but what a basic tax preparation application would work. TaxAct is looking better to me all the time 🙂   I appreciate all of the interaction and updates on this string with people stating their problems.  I was able to put the argument forward that this was not just me having the problem when TurboTax support implied that it was not a big deal.  It shut down their argument quite quickly.

Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

@amvb005 it sounds like you're using the software for turbotax. So it might have had an early update pushed for the 1040X.  Trying to use the website to process the return shows that it's unavailable. Looking again at https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability it shows the 1040X will be available tomorrow on 02/28

1 Yes, you can take a tier 3 deduction prorated. Mi has an either/or system. Here are the MI retirement instructions for your age. 2. You do need to get back to that question and make sure standard deduction is selected for your pension since you can't claim pension and tier 3. Possible options: If you can delete MI and start again, that would alleviate the issue. Otherwise, stepping through the state again. Finally, you may need to remove the 1099-R in federal go through the MI state section. Close return and log out. Then add it back in federal and try MI with a fresh start.
