I am very frustrated that I cannot preview what is being entered until the error checking review at the end. How do I get to see those underlying tax form documents generated from my input?

@VolvoGirl All entries and calculations on the forms view is correct. My issue is when Acrobat converts to a PDF it is rendered improperly. This is not a tax or "how to use TT" problem. This is a tech issue. What lines are wrong? Are these lines wrong?..... When Acrobat "renders" (converts) the forms view to a PDF... what it is now on PDF what it should be line 20 123. blank (or zero) line 21 123. 123. line 22 is blank 123. It's like line 20's data got left out during PDF conversion and the rest of the data got moved up (filled in). And yes, I tried to put a zero in line 20 to force everything down. No success. Note (if you pass this on to the tech side for trouble shooting) some of the form info (below line 23 bottom of the page below "work area") is overwritten/garbled. Page 2 is ok Thank you for taking the time to help out!

It is possible that some of the sales listed on the Form 1099-B may not report a cost basis. If so, it would be to your advantage to research those and enter the correct cost basis, so it can be subtracted from your sales proceeds, thus reducing your reported capital gain income. There could also be other issues. You will have to review the investment sale entries and see what needs your attention.
You enter the 1099-B forms in the Wages and Income section of TurboTax, then Investments Sales, then Stocks, cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, etc...

NYS is very busy between:
the NY inflation checks -taxable on fed but not state
enhanced fraud filters for EIC and child tax credit
NY may have your return set aside for one of the above reasons. They request 4-8 weeks officially so you are only half-way through the potential wait. Many of the states are experiencing delayed refunds this year also due to the tax law changes last summer. Refunds are up and so it the wait time.
If you do want to reach a human - do not choose the refund status option. Pick another option - general or account. Taxpayer Assistance Line at 518-457-5181 (8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET).

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/substantial-presence-test
She would be dual-status if she entered the US during 2025, but you say she entered in 2024. So she is considered a resident for tax purposes for all of 2025, even though her legal status changed at various times during the year.
https://www.irs.gov/publications/p519#en_US_2025_publink1000222165
Ownership of foreign assets is not declared unless they are sold and generate a capital gain or loss. You need to file an FBAR if she owned a foreign bank account if the account had more than $10,000 US equivalent in it for even one day, but that sounds not the case. You are also correct that her student loan interest would not be deductible.
It sounds like you will just file a standard married filing joint return.

I think while I was doing my PA state taxes I think I saw a message that I can't e-file because of my 1099-R retirement income that they demand that I send a paper return. Can someone refresh my memory? Is it possible that you could pay the e-file fee and try to e-file, only to find that it fails because you have to send in a paper return (and then you spent the e-file fee for nothing) ? Could someone remind me if that's possible? Should I just give up and file a paper return?

An inherited IRA actually does have a Required Minimum Distribution based on the age of the person who it was inherited from.
The easiest answer - and the correct one, in your case - is the exact amount that you received. Just enter that as the RMD amount and you're all set.

I was able to find a loophole to enter it. I changed my selection for if I had education expenses besides tuition to "yes" even though I didn't (have qualifying education expenses) and it then prompted me to enter my 1098T. I saved my work and then I went back and changed my selection back to "no." I double checked and the 1098T form was filled out in the manual view of forms. Hopefully updates won't delete the progress.

Did I miss something? Your post just instructed me to acknowledge a post to my question with a thumbs-up, but I didn't see any reply to my question about where to find messages from a TT expert.
