I do not want a postmarked. I need the original transmittal report for the state. My taxes were submitted 10/15/2025 for 2024 Received stupid agi verifications that went on for days. Have email stating when submitted on 10/15/2025 but state said they need the transmittal report from turbotax... But the stupid postmarked show 10/18/3025.. Tax person did not know why received agi for wife & I separately and across 3 days. WHO DO I NEED TO GET IN TOUCH TO GET THE TRANSMISSION REPORT.

Enter a 0 for the spouse's 2024 AGI and e-file again. If this is rejected then enter a 0 for your 2024 AGI and a 0 for your spouse's 2024 AGI and e-file again.

Glad to hear a fix is in the works. This is an extremely common tax situation that the software should handle. I buy TT so I don't have to wade into the forms / worksheets, so my tax liability is what it should be, and so I can complete my taxes in a reasonable amount of time. If I have to rely on AI, the TT community, and "work-arounds," this product loses significant value. I nearly overpaid my taxes because of this problem. I caught the issue, but I'm still not happy.

In both the 2024 and 2025 versions of TurboTax Desktop there is an "Analysis" tab in the Review section of the program. To access it click on the Review tab in between State Taxes & File.

Please clarify the exact error message you are seeing with regards to passive operating losses. Also, which version of TurboTax are you using? Online or Desktop?

Yes, you can claim QBI using TurboTax Desktop. Did you work through the interview for all companies/rentals that you consider to be qualified for QBI? Form 8995 is completed based on your responses to the interview questions about QBI that appear near the end of interview for each company/rental. Overriding any calculated or link value will invalidate the return for e-filing. This is an IRS constraint.
Your other option in TurboTax Desktop is to open Schedule C or Schedule E for each company/rental and complete the Qualified Business Income Deduction Smart Worksheet on those forms. The interview process may be easier and faster.

It may be due to the way the description is written. Try entering a description similar to the example to see if that clears the message.
If you are still receiving the message, try deleting the entry and starting over:
Go to Tax Tools, Tools, then Delete a Form and remove any "Form 1099-B" or "Worksheet" that is causing the loop.
If the import keeps asking for a token you don't have, select "I'll type it in myself" and enter the summary totals from your Form 1099-B instead.

A new, forthcoming feature is being designed to help users determine the fair market value of donated items. The new feature may be released by sometime in March. Users can file in the meantime.
There are a number of alternative commercial products available online. Some charities offer their own.

Any word on fixing the 1098T and other expenses problem like room and board? Currently my tax burden is larger and incorrect for 529 distributions because of this issue. Wish they would have left this alone. Worked ok previously.

I am trying to use TurboTax Premier via a Desktop download in Windows 11. Each time I load my TT program, a message entitled, Unexpected Error (no error number shown), followed by, "System.Runtime.Serialization... ."pops up. When I click OK the message goes away after a few seconds, and the program seems to open OK. However, while doing my taxes, just prior to the review section, when I responded to the TurboTax screen which said (paraphrasing), ...before we do a review let's check for updates... . At that point the Unexpected error msg popped up again, but everything froze, as in nothing works. I cannot move forward or back. I only hear a soft beep when I try to click on anything. I can use Task Manager to get out of TT and go back and start over again, but once back inside TT I get the same "Frozen" result each time. I am stuck and need help to resolve this error problem.
