I'm a long term TT user.  It has slowly deteriorated the past few years but this 2025 version is horrible. If I could return it I would.  I will attempt to struggle through, if I am successful it will take me hours longer than usual.  There are some thing AI or FAQ's have yet to handle better than humans.   If I could get to a human I might be able to get an answer to the road block TT has planted squarely in the road of my progress.

 If your 19 year old is not a full-time student and if he earned more than $5200 in 2025 --not outing any Social Security--- he cannot br claimed as anyone else's dependent.    If he was a student, you can claim him as a dependent and get the non-refundable $500 credit for other dependents.  IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed: https://www.irs.gov/help/ita/who-can-i-claim-as-a-dependent     Are you sure you have  a W-2?  Does it show amounts withheld for Social Security and Medicare?   Or do you have something else---like a 1099NEC?   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/irs-tax-forms/what-is-a-w-2-form/L6VJbqWl5      @user17700594508

TurboTax Business does not support Kansas fiduciary returns.   See https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotaxbusiness_states_windows_selector.html

It depends. If you itemize deductions (versus taking the standard deduction) and if your medical expenses are more than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income, you can include insurance premiums paid in medical expenses on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions.   See this TurboTax article for more information: Are Medical Expenses Tax Deductible?

We know ItsDeductible is kaput and I've prepared for that. However, my desktop TurboTax 2025 has a note saying:   "COMING SOON: We’re working on a new tool to help you look up the fair market value of your item. We expect it to be ready soon, but you can file without it."   Do you or any of the other Experts here have any general knowledge if this is actually something that may come out this year? 

That's not correct.  See OAR 150 - 316 - 0165. The law in OR for non-residents is that you only pay tax on work performed within the state in most instances.  Turbotax allowed me to correct this issue when it happened a couple years ago.

We are aware that some customers are experiencing issues when trying to file but are looped back instead of being able to proceed and file.     We are currently investigating this issue.    We will notify our customers once the program is updated.

@ask4gems  Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home & Business) Click on Wages & Income (Personal Income using Home & Business) Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Less Common Income On Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, click the start or update button   On the next screen - On Long-term care account distributions (Form 1099-LTC), click the start or update button

You can use Quick Employer Forms to prepare and file your 1099-NEC forms.   You will see an option on your home page, under Your Account, when you log into TurboTax to create W2 and 1099 forms. Otherwise, you can type "Quick Employer Forms" in the help section (see the looking glass icon on top of your screen) and look for an article on entering employer forms, where there will be a link to the website.    

I appreciate your comments about how to do distributions in the future.  However, I need help with my taxes this year.     I have a 1099-Q form that says the money has been distributed to me.  Tuition was paid, so the 529 withdrawal is a qualified withdrawal. The student is the beneficiary on the 529, but not my dependent.     How do I enter the tuition into TurboTax so I am not taxed on the withdrawal?

I was just told by a phone operator that this is a New York State problem, not a TurboTax problem, and that the solution was to print and file by mail. She could not explain why, if New York State only has an efile issue with TurboTax returns, it's considered a NY State problem and not a TurboTax problem. She also could not explain why some people seem to be able to eFile TurboTax NY State returns and others of us can't, or why that would be a NY State problem and not a TurboTax problem.    I'm going to wait and see if we get yet another different answer before I switch to different tax filing software, but this customer service experience is absolutely terrible. 

unfortunately, TurboTax Premier 2025 doesn't mention 1099-LTC as you noted above. that form name is not to be found anywhere in this year's Premier version. Again, you guys need to get this fixed for the elderly filers who may not be as able to sus out the actual way to enter this data. I spent more than an hour searching online sources to determine how to enter the information under misc medical expenses as a reimbursement. you should add this 1099-LTC topic to your FAQs and to the search terms that FIND the right place for data entry. Don't slack on this point because most filers don't get LTC income - you handle far less common items than this so please fix this and get an update pushed out ASAP.

I have a w2 I'm trying to understand all this I didnt withheld fed or state so can I still claim my 19 year even if he have a job he doesn't by all or more of his expenses i do he just got the job he gets paid Friday whqt do i do
