What is the entire exact error message that you are getting? (I'm sure it doesn't say "Box 1 is wrong.") When do you get the message? Is it on the screen where you enter the box 1 amount, or somewhere after that? Is it in Smart Check?  

100% agree with you!!  I am entering a 1099-B for a CD sale and have the same issue.  What the heck?  Why is the solution to "just call it a stock sale"?   And someone else saying to enter it as a 1099-S...get it together TurboTax!!!

You need the file ending in .tax2024 to transfer into this year.  It should be in Documents in a Turbo Tax subfolder.  Or Search your computer for all files ending in .tax or .tax2024.   And check the Recycle Bin.  The PDF file should be saved there too.  If you have Windows 10 check the OneDrive.  Or to Drop Box.  Check your backups.  Could it be under a different user on your computer?      If you don't have the main .tax file you might have one that starts with a Tilde sign ~ like  "~your name.tax2024”  That file is if your computer crashes or your real file gets lost or deleted or corrupt so you can restore it. Find your Tax file in Windows https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-data-file/help/find-your-tax-data-file-tax-file-in-windows/00/25926   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.  Go to FILE -  OPEN.  See if it is the right one.  Then save it again with a name and place you can find.  Go to File - Save As.  

If you used the Summary Method to report, you may have to mail your 1099-B if you have certain types of transactions.  TurboTax prints the 8453 as a mailing cover sheet, and Form 8949.   "If you're e-filing, you only need to mail the IRS a copy of your 8949 (along with Form 8453) if you entered sales section totals for one or more sales categories (instead of each individual sale) and one of the following is true: The sales category for one or more summaries is something other than box A (short-term covered) or box D (long-term covered), or The box A or box D summary includes adjustments (typically listed in boxes 1f or 1g on your broker statement)   @Ambilobe   

Same issue failed twice.  This last time I waited until 2/26, ran the update, double checked - no additional updates.   Rechecked for any errors, submitted ...  Fail again.   At first turbotax would not even import last years tax file because of a software bug. Frustrating that I paid nearly $100 for software that doesn't work.

I assume the Trust is a complex trust, since simple trusts do not typically distribute capital gains.  Make sure in the General Information section you have indicated that the trust is a complex trust.  Next,:   Go to the FEDERAL TAXES tab. Select Distributions. Mark the button for "Distribution Amounts" and click Continue. Enter the distribution amounts for each beneficiary by tier. First Tier is income required to be distributed such as interest and dividends.  Second Tier is any distribution that is not Tier 1, such as capital gains or principal.  

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE IRS/STATE     TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-audit/turbotax-audit-support/L6AcMoNFD_US_en_US?uid=m5z7by9u     https://intuit.taxaudit.com/audit-defense/help/contact     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/got-cp2000-notice-irs/L7Da6em2t_US_en_US?uid=m4of6ngd  

The amount of RMD due in 2025 is ZERO for a person of your age (first RMD due in 2026). That's how the IRS describes it. @user17719558842    That should get you past the confusion caused by TurboTax.

Don't use the email address as a User ID.  Start a new return with a new User ID, and in the account setup, you should be able to use an email address that is already in use by another account.    @cindyfancher1 

Are you asking about a 1099 you received??  If you already filed and your return was accepted, you will need to wait for the amendment software next week.   The 1040-X (Amended Tax Return) is tentatively scheduled for 03/04.   If you have not already submitted your return or your return was rejected, you can go back to the same section you entered the form and use the pencil icon to edit your form.   You can check this link to access the Forms Availability Tool to see if and when forms are available.    How to Amend my 2025 tax return? 

  A 1040 is the tax return form you prepare here to send to the IRS.   If you start entering data in this software you are preparing a Form 1040.   Please look at it so you will know what you are sending to the IRS:   PREVIEW 1040 https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/preview-turbotax-online-return-filing/L77WCkvnu_US_en_US?uid=m681fkhr
