It depends upon how the transaction has been reported.   At the screen Review your XXX sales, click the pencil icon to the right.   Does the screen report Sales section?  If so, you may be able to change the Sales section from Short term basis not reported to IRS to Long-term basis not reported to IRS.   If the screen does not report Sales section, change When did you receive this investment to a date.  Then change it back to Various.   You want to trigger the screen Did you acquire this investment more than a year before you sold it?  Then select Yes, acquired this entire investment more than a year before I sold it.

The Qualified Manufacturer IDentification Number is required for filing the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Form 5695). It's a 4-digit number. To find the QMID: Check the paperwork provided with your equipment for a "Manufacturer Certification Statement". It may be listed on the invoice provided by your contractor.  The code may be listed on the Manufacturers website.  You can also check   Find Qualified Manufacturer ID codes for IRS Form 5695. If you cannot find the code, contact the manufacturer directly.
To resolve this problem, you can enter $1.00 into column B of the annual totals from your 1095-A.  This will have no effect on your tax outcome.

No, there is no need to change your 2025 tax return filing to make you the primary taxpayer.  Since he was still alive during part of 2026, he can still be listed as primary taxpayer for your 2026 joint return if you wish to file it that way.   If the return was filed prior to your husband's death, then it was filed properly.  However, if it is was filed after he passed away, then the return should show his date of death under the Personal Info section.  If it did not show that information and it was filed after he passed, then you should probably amend the return to make that change.  It will not change the numbers in the return, but it will show that he passed.   To learn more about amending your return, see the following TurboTax help article:   How do I amend my federal tax return for this year?   My condolences for your loss.

SELECT MERRILL INSTEAD OF MERRILL MANAGED ACCOUNT.    That was the fix. There were two options, if I selected merrill managed, I got the prompt for the 24 character code. Selecting only "Merrill" avoids that.    To all the people who said "just key it in" or "you dont need to do this or that." These are terribly unhelpful answers. Please, do better. 
I amended my return and both the federal and state (VA) refunds changed. Yet, only the federal return is provided to me to mail in. (I did not e-file... everything is being mailed this year.)

I was on the phone to support until they cut me off after an hour and didn't call back   I am using the version on my tablet, to file my Canadian taxes   I received stock options, not through payroll. Therefore it is not on my T4, box 38 etc.   I have exercised these options so I need to file the income on them. This is easy as I can do this in the "other income" line (FMV when exercised less the grant price). I also used these line for the income from my RSUs.   However, the issue comes with the deductible. I qualify for the 50% stock option deductible. So I need to be able to input this so it flows to line 24,900. However there is no form or option to fill out a line item that would flow properly.   So right now I have the income, say $1,000 , but I need to be able to put in the stock option deductible (50%, so $500), so that it flows to 24,900. This is not possible I don't think. Please help. Is it version issue? Do I need to upgrade or something? It's very unclear but when I spoke to support they seemed to understand the issue but confused how to fix it.
Yes, if you are asking about the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit claimed on Form 8880, it is reported on Line 4 of Form 1040 Schedule 3.

You will have to amend the 2025 tax return you filed to add the W-2   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.
