if this is the question about market value of IRA as of 12/31/25 which does on Form 8606 Line 6 the guidance from IRS is to use your month-end brokerage statements not Form 5498 which is not typically available until May.  The on-screen guidance from Turbotax is misleading on this.   https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i8606.pdf

In TurboTax Desktop, in FORMS, Open Form 'Tax and Interest Worksheet'.  Scroll down to Line 1g, where you can delete the amount of Sales Tax.  Make sure the box below is checked for 'Greater Amount'.   In TurboTax Online, in the left-side menu, go to Deductions and scroll down the list to Sales Tax, (where you may see an amount) and choose EDIT.  Continue, and use the Trash Can Icon to Delete your State, and Continue and Delete any Major Purchases.  Back at the Deductions topics page, you should then see no amount next to Sales Tax and it will show 'Revisit'.   Remember that TurboTax may have calculated a Sales Tax amount for you based on IRS Tables, but the program uses whichever amount is highest (sales tax vs. state tax paid).   @RogerLi     

@Joan2, how do you display the "data source" information?  When I place the cursor in a field on the Foreign Tax Credit Computation Worksheet ("1116 Comp Wks"), I do not see a "data source" option.   Thank you for your assistance.   P.S.:  I am using TurboTax Deluxe (desktop) on macOS.

MY RETURN IS UNDER REVIEW The IRS is getting more and more vigilant to prevent identity theft and fraud.   People who file very early in the season are sometimes scrutinized more.  Do not take it personally.   TurboTax does not get any information from the IRS after they accept your return, so no one at TT knows that your refund is delayed or why.  All you can do is wait for the IRS to finish processing your return.  Watch the refund site.  If the IRS wants more information from you they will request it. If they want you to verify your identity, you must follow the IRS’s instructions in order to do that.   In many cases they will send you a letter—and you will have to wait for that letter.
