But the Easy Form page says:       "Net capital gains" in the title of the page      "Enter your net capital gain/loss amounts for all periods through August 31, 2025 (even if 0)."      But then for "Qualified dividends" it only the total amount of the Qualified dividends appear in the box for 1/1/2025 to 12/31/2025.   There is not a place to enter the Net capital gains as in previous years.   As I mentioned, I could get around this by going into Form 2210 Schedule AI and entering the correct amount on the Capital Gains Tax Computation Smart Worksheet line B which comes from Schedule D line 15 and entering the correct amount on the same worksheet line E which comes from 1040 line 3a.    What I am saying is that the Easy Form does not actually show the Net capital gains amount, it just shows the Qualified Dividends even though the title of the Easy Form page is Net capital gains.    

If you're married filing jointly, DON'T check the box on Form 5695.  It is only checked if you split the costs with someone who is NOT your spouse.  If you're using TurboTax Online, delete Form 5695, close the program, clear your Cache and Cookies and step through the Home Energy section again.    @ttjunk     

If there are multiple multiple deleted prior years after updating Turbo Tax there is a problem with the application. I save my returns to my local machine but, they are gone as well. Are the prior year returns on the Intuit Turno Tax servers somewhere?

@Shin-lae-kyaw It looks like the Form 1040X Amended Return became available today Feb. 27 according to the Forms Availability table.  IF it's correct, and if  it's working.      TurboTax Form Availability Tool    Also, if you are due a Federal refund, it's recommended to wait on the refund to arrive before amending.  Or if you owed taxes due, to wait until the return processes.

I spent 2 hours today with level 2 support. Confirmed that with TT Advantage, you CANNOT decline Audit defense if you choose to efile state.  The issue is that if you efile state, you must pay for it. Any method you choose to pay requires you to log into your intuit account. When you log into your intuit account, it requires you first to enter Audit Defense personal information and agree to the terms before it takes you to a payment page.  If you close the log in window and return to TT, you will find that it has now selected Audit defense even though you have not selected it. This is irrespective of whether you have chosen credit card only or have a prepaid credit for state filing. The only way to turn off Audit defense is to remove TT Advantage from your account. 

Thank You.  I understand that it doesn't make a difference because there is no taxable income. Do I even need to produce Schedule K1 with zero income? "Distributions to beneficiaries is the dispersal of income earned during the year from investments or other sources. Distributions can also be made from the original assets or principal left by the decedent or maker of the trust."
