If you can download a PDF copy of your 1099's, you can use a Category Summary Total in your tax return (what we did before imports became available).    When a new browser window opens for your broker Sign In, try clicking on the icon just in front of the URL and 'allow' LAN.   @ahklpharmd     

@CatinaT1  Thanks for clarifying.  Strange such a helpful feature isn't in the US version.  Anyway, in light of the situation can you please clarify your below statement?  Are you saying a form or worksheet that is blank could still be tracking data/carryover amounts from prior years??  <confused>   "While this is not an issue in your case, you do want to be careful to not delete blank forms that track data from previous years if they track any carryover amounts."   SE

You can try to download the 1040-X PDF from the "Tax Home" area of your TurboTax account under "Your tax returns & documents" which is near the bottom when you click on your Tax Home. If it is not there, you can order a free tax account transcript from the IRS website.  Get your tax records and transcripts    

The credit for for non-itemizers who gave to charity was repealed in 2013 for later tax years.  Now, North Carolina does not offer a credit, but you'll get a deduction for charitable giving if you itemize your deductions. 

You may have answered yes to the questions about having foreign assets.  Follow these steps to troubleshoot:   Login into TurboTax Go to Other Tax Situations Go to Other Tax Forms Select Foreign financial assets report Answer no to the question and continue through the rest of the prompt so TurboTax properly updates. Additionally, make sure you didn't answer "yes" to any questions related to foreign assets so TurboTax doesn't keep prompting foreign reporting items.  You may need to delete foreign forms (i.e. FBAR, or Form 8938) if you keep getting these foreign related items from TurboTax as well.   Here are some links that talk more about the foreign assets section, as well as how to delete forms, if needed:   How do I file an FBAR report (FinCEN 114)? How do I file Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets? How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online?

Thanks. I was asking about the interview that you mention at the end. The choices it gives are to simply enter the CA total which is what I want, or include transactions by date, or mark them one by one. I know my total and it's not according to dates, and I don't want to edit dozens of tiny imported. transactions.  So after I select Total, it doesn't let me enter the total, but it uses some value that's off by a few hundred dollars. 

If TurboTax is not accepting your State ID number, try entering the Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) from Box b into the State ID box 15. Also try removing any  leading zeros. If that does not work, try entering a value such as 1234567 or leave the box blank if no state taxes were withheld.  

@Movie-Nut wrote: The point is, I don't need an import capability for H&R, as it is built into the software and has full features. It is not built into the software; I had a copy installed until quite recently and there was no apparent way to import donated items from a file (any type of file).

TurboTax is directing you to the “Child’s Income” section because you meet the IRS criteria for Form 8615 (kiddie tax). The kiddie tax applies if: You can be claimed as a dependent, You are under 24 and a full-time student (or under 18), You have more than the threshold amount of unearned income, And you do not provide more than half of your own support. In that case, you must complete Form 8615 on your own return, and your unearned income may be taxed at your parents’ rate.   [Edited 03/08/26 | 7:07am PST]   I agree that this is a taxable scholarship that qualifies as unearned income, not subject to self-employment tax. You definitely want Form 8615 attached to your return. These are the requirements: Who Must File  Form 8615 must be filed for any child who meets all of the following conditions.  1. The child had more than $2,700 of unearned income.  2. The child is required to file a tax return.  3. The child either:  a. Was under age 18 at the end of 2025,  b. Was age 18 at the end of 2025 and didn’t have earned income that was more than half of the child's support, or  c. Was a full-time student at least age 19 and under age 24 at the end of 2025 and didn’t have earned income that was more than half of the child's support. (Earned income is defined later. Support is defined below.)    4. At least one of the child's parents was alive at the end of 2025.  5. The child doesn’t file a joint return for 2025.

TurboTax may think you have reached your limit of 5 e-filed returns. The limit may have been triggered by any rejected returns that were resubmitted, or multiple installations on different computers can sometimes trigger this prematurely.  An amended return may also count toward your e-file limit.   You can check this by reviewing your e-file history in TurboTax Desktop  by going to File, Electronic Filing, Show Electronic Filing Status History to see which returns were counted as e-filed.    Additional returns may have to be printed and mailed, or you can purchase a new license. However, the IRS limits you to five e-filed returns per email address, user, and computer IP address.  This limit is addressed in IRS Publication 1345.   If you believe this is an error, you should contact TurboTax Support using this link: Turbo Tax customer support.     Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.  

Sounds like you transferred from the wrong 2024 return.   Or you might have gone in and changed something after you filed, like to test.   Did you use the Online version or the Desktop program?   How to view all your Online accounts https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx It's common to end up with multiple accounts. First LOG OUT of whatever TurboTax account you're logged into right now. Then use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of user ID's for an email address. Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery/ For Desktop,  see if you have any other files ending in .tax2024.  They should be in your Documents in a Turbo Tax folder.   Here's an idea.  Do you still have 2024 installed?  Try opening 2024 program and see if you can get your 2024 return to show up in it with the right info.  Go to FILE - OPEN.   Then save it again with a name and place you can find.  Go to File - Save As.  Then start a new 2025 return and transfer from the 2024 file.
