@PiSigma   No you don’t have to send in a main 1040ES ahead of time.   And every year the IRS mails me 1040 ES forms prefilled with my personal info so I only need to write in the amount.   Then they fit in the envelopes.   Or you can pay directly on the IRS website https://www.irs.gov/payments Be sure to pick the right kind of payment and year.....2026 Estimate

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. 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...

You actually don't have to do that; it's not taxable. If that were the only asset, item, or cash being distributed (with no income or gain), a 1041 wouldn't even be required to be filed. That line is for second-tier distributions.   Otherwise, you can enter it in Forms Mode.

You can still file your 2024 return.  It is important to file an unfiled return because there is no statute of limitations on an unfiled return.  You can file a past due return anytime, but you only have 3 years from the original due date of 4/15/25 to claim a refund, if you are due one.  See: Claim a refund   If you have not started a return in TurboTax Online that you can log in and continue to transfer to a Desktop version, you can start by downloading the 2024 software here: File your 2024 taxes

To complete and file a 2024 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2024 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/   A 2024 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.

TO ENTER THE NY INFLATION REFUND CHECK IN TURBOTAX (1099-G):   1.Open your return in TurboTax. 2. Go to Wages & Income in the Federal tax section. 3. Under State and Local Tax Refunds (1099-G) click Start or Edit. 4. When asked about the refund you received in 2025, enter: Tax return year: 2023 Payments and withholding: 0 Refund amount: enter full amount for MFJ or ONLY YOUR SHARE if half of the total amount on the 1099-G Continue. 5. You will see the question “Does either apply to your 2023 New York return?” Choose NO (even though you took the standard deduction) 6. On the “Tell us the taxable amount of your refund”, enter the SAME AMOUNT you entered before    

There was an update to Schedule E recently, if it didn't transfer you may need to enter the information from your 2024 tax return. The only other option would be to clear and start over, if you have not yet paid, to see if the import of information transfers to your 2025 return. How do I clear and start over?

Ah. Thank you @ChuckA58RI . I didn't see an override selection anywhere. I did try double clicking on that value but that didn't do anything. Just now I tried right clicking on it and Poof! a pop up menu where I could choose Override and I could change it. This is the correct way to fix it. You can still select Estimate instead of W-4 at the beginning of the TurboTax Step-by-step process as you wish and then just fix the worksheet. That Override function is not obvious.
