I assume you are entering your Form W-2 and have more than one state with income and possibly withholding.    After you enter the information for the first state, there should be a box just below that that says "Add another state".  Click on that, and add another state (second line).  

You can e-file the return if you do the certification and attest that you did not have Obamacare during 2025.   You won't be able to edit the statement, but you will be able to e-file your return without having to upload any of the 1095-A information.      From the How to Fix reject F8962-070 article >> If you don't have a Form 1095-A and know you won't be receiving one, you can certify this in TurboTax Online/Mobile in order to refile your return:   Go to the Do you need to report any 1095-As? screen. You'll be asked if you received a 1095-A. Select No. By selecting this certification, you will be able to e-file your return and meet the requirements under rejected code F8962-070. Select File from the left menu and continue through the process to resubmit your return.

No, you don't need to report this. For 2025, the IRS annual gift tax exclusion limit is $19,000.    If you were to exceed this amount (per recipient), you would be required to report the gift on IRS Form 709, which is a separate filing from your 1040.    See: The Gift Tax Made Simple for more information.

Yeah TurboTax reps are fuxing idiots and cant help me. that company as a whole is useless. I posted this in hopes that when they are sued i can join. or for others to comments in hops to file a class action lawsuit against this crappy company. needless to say ill find a different way to file my taxed from now on.

Gifts given to family members, friends or other individuals are not deductible.   Gifts received are not taxable to the person who received the gift, and are not entered on a tax return.   If your gift exceeds the yearly limit ($19,000 per individual)  imposed by the gift tax rules, then you will need to complete a Form 709 gift tax form and send it to the IRS, although it is very unlikely that you will owe any tax.   TurboTax does not support Form 709.  It is not an income tax form and would not be included as part of an income tax return.   Here is a link to the form: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f709.pdf   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/estates/the-gift-tax-made-simple/L5tGWVC8N     Here's a link for Form 709 preparation software:  https://www.puritas-springs.com/product-category/federal   Here are some useful videos on the Form:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5wJow5h-No   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z_28sVOrTY  

A California Secretary of State (SOS) file number is a minimum of 7 digits long, a maximum of 12 digits long, and can only contain the numbers 0-9. If the SOS number contains a letter (such as "B") that letter should NOT be entered - only enter the numbers.   @Allday123 

I looked at the 2025 instructions for Schedule SB, line 16 for the Retirement Income Subtraction (RIS).  It stated that any IRA withdrawals that are taxable at the federal level are eligible for the RIS in addition to qualified pension.    To test this in TTax, I created a "test" tax file where I entered $40,000 for a pension and $5,000 for an IRA withdrawal taxable at the federal level.  The WI Retirement Income Subtraction allowed was $45,000 (married filing jointly and at both age 67)   I the then changed the taxable IRA withdrawal to $10,000. TTax correctly only allowed the maximum of $48,000 as the RIS deduction for WI.

Ive been rejected three times. I have marked no on the 1095-a for not purchasing market place insurance and removed form 8962 and retransmitted and it still is rejected. Should i just print our federal return and mail. No one on my tax return received a 1095-a. We both received 1095-c forms. What should i do

Did you buy it in the store?  Then after you pay  you have to go to the service windows to get the real package with the License Code.   12/1/25 I Bought Home&Business from Costco online on sale for only $85.99. When I finally got the Software Activation Keys email (email took a long time, maybe an hour) I clicked on Download link. It took me directly to Turbo Tax to download. Had to pick my product then select Win or Mac. Program downloaded.  

A TURBO TAX agent was able to determine that TURBO TAX cannot assist with this issue for e-file.  The IRS requires a copy of the VOID 1095-A and this cannot be done with TURBO TAX e-file.  I will search other software to see if another brand can handle perform this simple function and report back.

If using Online TurboTax, here's a navigation shortcut:   With the return open, go to the left menu column and click on TAX TOOLS, then the subtab TOOLS. In the Tools Center choose the blue button Topic Search. In the topic search line enter the phrase estimated tax payments without quotes. Make the selection in the list (it may already be highlighted), and either double-click it or click the GO button. Next screen is Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid. Expand the section Estimated Tax Payments. Choose the appropriate category and tax year you are reporting (Federal, state, local) and click START or Revisit. NOTE:  Before filing, make sure your Federal estimated tax payments correctly show on the Form 1040, Line 26, and that any state estimated tax payments (if applicable) show up on your state return.
