Yes, but you can enter a capital loss carryover in TurboTax Online. You find the option under Investments and Savings, in the Wages and Income Summary section. Look for Capital Loss Carryover.

Thank you for replying. I've been gearing up for tax filing this year and wondering if using the online version is worth it, since I have Windows 10 and that's no longer supported.   Maybe I'll just look for an alternative product. I feel your pain, so sorry you are in TT hell. :(

After the headache of seeing my reduced fed yesterday, magically everything landed in my account today. Relieved about that; However was charged twice for my fees. Waiting for a callback and this better get resolved. I’ve used TurboTax for years, but thinking otherwise next year. The representatives were so inconsistent and left me feeling uneasy. Not to mentioned the first one I talked to yesterday just read verbatim why my fed would be lower, blaming the IRS and reasons why they could have lowered it. I’d rather pay the money to speak to a real professional and not go through the stress TT is putting us through.

It depends.  There is not a specific age requirement for the Pension Income Deduction. It is based on the type of retirement you are receiving and the rules to be eligible for that plan.   The maximum amount of the deduction is $48,216 per individual.     There is an income phase-out for eligibility for the pension exclusion.  If your federal adjusted gross income is more than $125,000 and you are single or married filing separately then the deduction begins to phase out.  The deduction is NOT available if your federal AGI is over $225,000 if single or MFS.  So depending on the amount of your 401k withdrawal, you may or may not qualify for some or all of the exclusion.           
Yes, the Federal ID number on your W-2 can be used when TurboTax doesn't like the State ID number.  Sometimes it's too large for the entry box; sometimes it's too small.    @monalynn1967

If you already e-filed you are stuck with "5 days early" if the return is accepted.  If it rejects you can try to remove that option in the FILE section before you re-file.       "5 days early" means you are supposed to receive your refund from one to five days sooner than the refund date shown on the IRS refund site.   If it does not meet that "at least one day sooner" date, they are supposed to refund the $35 fee.   You have to pay attention to the date on the IRS refund site. You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds

Yes. Costs such as car insurance, cell phone, and snacks/entertainment can be included in the calculation for support. For example, car insurance and entertainment can be considered part of travel and recreation expenses. Cell phone costs or purchases for things in his room may be considered a personal necessity.    See the following to assist in determining support:   IRS Worksheet 2   In order to claim your son as a qualifying child,  The child must be: (a) under age 19 at the end of the year and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), (b) under age 24 at the end of the year, a full-time student, and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), or (c) any age if permanently and totally disabled. The child must have lived with you for more than half of the year - education is considered a temporary absence. So if the child is away at college, they are considered to have lived with you. The child must not have provided more than half of his or her own support for the year. Rules for Claiming Dependents on Taxes   @AndrewA87

I tried following the instructions but was never prompted to answer whether I had any nondeductible IRA contributions to your traditional IRA from 2024 or prior years?"   I deleted the 1099-Rs I had and started over. That part is fine. But it never asks me about nontraditional IRAs except whether or not I’d ever converted from a traditional to a Roth and the answer was no.

I was railroaded into using the Expert Assist version which I don't need. The web page designed to deceive. I was about to file my taxes and saw I was being charged twice what I usually pay. I only wanted the Deluxe without all the extra crap. Please tell me how I can back out of this?
Hi!   i have 2 jobs. So, do I put head of household on both W-4s? Then, do I claim my 2 dependents on 1 of the W-4s?

First off, thank you for any help.   My Mom passed in late 2024 and as Executor I set up 4 trusts (each with its own EIN) for her 4 grandkids (my 2 included).  Trusts were set up and funded mid 2025.  I put the money ($25K each) in a bank account, but to get better interest I moved $24K in a CD.  The interest for all 4 accounts (for those CDs) was exactly the same ~$476.  Consequently, I received 4 1099-INTs all with the same ~$476.  It seems like I would have normally to file a 1041 except the amount for 2025 is below the $600 threshold.  Is this correct?  However, I anticipate more than $600 in interest in 2026, so it appears I will have to file a 1041 in 2027 for 2026; is this correct?  Finally, I have been using TurboTax Deluxe for about 30 years, but it seems to do taxes I need TurboTax business; s that correct and if so do I buy them separately? Again, thanks for any help.
That is great news! Did you get an acknowledgement back from the state yet?

E-filing is closed for 2024.   Print, sign and date your amended return in ink, and file it by mail.   Use a mailing service like certified mail  to track so you will know it was received since you will have a long wait.   Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return
