Q. Does that mean I need to add the $1000 to the $1186 for a total of $2286 in the workaround? A. Yes.   I have not seen this issue before, but that sounds like the simplest way and gets the right result, in your case.  Ideally, you make an additional/separate entry at less common income/Other reportable income for the $1000 taxable scholarship.

If your return was rejected by the IRS for not having the 1095-A, it means that for some reason their database shows that you did have coverage through the Marketplace and received the premium tax credit at some point in 2025.  If you NEVER ENROLLED in marketplace insurance, you will need to contact the Marketplace to find out why they are reporting to the IRS that you did have insurance through them and have them correct it.

@Odin1970 wrote: Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and thoughtful response I really appreciate it.    So my last question is, well more of a scenario (please let me know if this is viable).    Both my spouse and I complete F5329 forms for the tax years that we had the excess contributions and pay the 6%. For the 2025 filing we can mitigate the prior year contributions before 4.15.26 by pulling that money out, which would negate the penalty for 2025.    So the question now is, are the prior year excess contributions and their removal tied to the calendar year ending or the tax year filing date? If its the filing date, I can get get those contributions out so the 2025 6% penalty would not apply, if I am understanding the code correctly.  So now you've lost me.  I thought you were going to amend to file jointly, in which case your Roth contributions might be allowable (depending on your income) and there would be no need to file any 5329s or pay any penalties.     If we are running the scenario where you remain with MFS for 2023 and 2024, you file amended returns to include form 5329 and pay 6% on the accumulated excess for each year.   For 2025, it is too late to use the special rule to remove excess before the filing deadline.  That procedure would only apply to excess that was contributed in 2025.   For the accumulated excess from 2023 and 2024, it is too late to use any special rules to remove it, and you have to include form 5329 again and pay the 6% on the accumulated penalty.   However, if you had new contributions in 2025, you could remove them before April 15.  That would create space in the account that the accumulated excess could be applied to, which would reduce the amount to be penalized on the 2025 return.  I described that above.     Any remaining excess can be removed in 2026 as a regular withdrawal, not a special withdrawal.

The 2023 adjustments table could not be altered. In fact, there is an extremely easy solution to this problem IF you are willing to forgo the carryback credit (which I am, already having a lot of carryover credits anyway). It suffices to let the 2023 Check for Errors procedure find the carryback -- "Check this Entry" error screen -- and just eliminate it manually from the table that is displayed. Again, this is not for someone who wants to use that carryback credit. According to Anthrop\c AI, this credit does not have to be taken and eliminating it here does not permanently eliminate your possibility to use the carryback credit in future returns.  This may be more of a problem with the tax code rather than Turbotax, nevertheless one has to solve it in Turbotax. Foreign Credit Carryovers are a real can of worms! It would be good if Turbotax just asked the question by default whether one wants to take the carryback credit or not.     

When you're importing 1099's from your broker, a browser window open when you can Sign In with your broker credentials.  The 'Allow' may be needed for a LAN connection to complete the import.  If the browser window opens with a URL indicating your broker, try clicking the icon in front of the browser, and in the pop-up or 'Settings' choose Allow.  Some browsers have updated their security protocols.   @alexy0211     

Did you make a tax deductible IRA contribution?  If so that amount would be a deduction on your federal tax return and be reflected in (reduce) your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).  The starting point for computing Wisconsin individual income tax is the federal adjusted gross income (AGI) from your federal tax return.  So, your IRA contribution would already be deducted from your Wisconsin income.
