Here's a way to enter estimated taxes paid for 2025 in the online product using this shortcut tool:   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.

Thank you for your reply. This is for a 401 that I rolled over after retiring mid-year, and for which a portion was Roth contributions.  Box 7 has code B. The issue that I'm encountering in Turbo Tax is that Box 1 has a value of 0, and Box 5 has a value of 1000.  The error that I'm getting during the Review is that Box 1 cannot be 0.  This is preventing me from e-filing. My question is - how do I get TT to accept the entry and let me submit electronically? Thanks in advance.

Aw shucks ☹️...everyone was hoping to answer.  You can come back any time.
TurboTax accepts code B.  Make sure that you answer No if TurboTax asks if the distribution was from a Roth IRA.  The designated Roth account in the 401(k) is not a Roth IRA.

While you are not required to issue a 1099 to an S corp, you can issue one without irs issue. The s corp however is required to report  said income and should it be found they are not it would be considered tax evasion which can carry 75% penalty and up to 5 years I believe in jail.

Thank you   for TT 2025, how can I get the tool to deduct both sales taxes and the WA Cares taxes ? when I enter the WA Cares under “ Estimates and Other Taxes Paid” the tools pick the sales tax deduction as it is slightly higher in value ( it says it can’t deduct both )

I wanted to post a PSA in case this helps anyone.   I just finished filing my taxes with TurboTax after a great deal of frustration.  I filled everything out, double checked, and ran the Turbotax review function.  Everything looked great and I proceeded to enter my payment information.  I got to the screen that allows me to download the PDF of my return - and I did so, for my records.  I looked at the PDF a final time - and discovered a mistake!  Good thing I checked!  No problem, I'll just fix the mistake before I file. I went back to Tax Home and edited the relevant sections, but I did not see my return amount change.  The 1040 form did not change.   I spent about 4 hours, cumulatively, on several calls with three different agents (All very helpful!  No complaints there.)  We tried deleting forms, re-entering forms, and quadruple-checked my information.  Nothing affected the needed changes to my 1040. We even tried to wipe the entire tax form and start completely over - but TurboTax does not allow you to start over once you've entered payment information. We came to the following conclusion:  Once I passed the Payment screen, Turbotax locks in certain forms and doesn't allow them to be deleted or altered.  You can re-enter information all you want, but those forms are immutable.  I couldn't go back, I couldn't start over, and I couldn't very well submit a bad tax return.     The solution was ultimately to create a brand new account and start from scratch.  This worked fine, and I was able to avoid my first mistake, and filed successfully.     I promised the TurboTax support crew that I would post here so this issue is documented.  Learn from my mistake:  Do not enter your payment info until you are 100% certain that the return is correct!  You cannot review the PDF you download at the end and go back to fix mistakes.   I hope this helps someone.

I have been attempting to import data from Merrill for the past seven days. I have spoken with Merrill support multiple times, but they have not been able to resolve the issue. I have also contacted Intuit support twice. We attempted several troubleshooting steps, including resetting my Merrill password, updating my operating system, and clearing the cache, I have no VPN etc. but nothing has worked.   I am using TurboTax Premier Desktop. Below is the error message I am receiving.   We couldn't connect to Merrill. Try connecting again in a few hours.

Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to FILE - NEW).  Just enter some basic personal info like your name and address then click on the State tab at the top and it should ask if you want to download the state program.
