You cannot install two different personal TurboTax desktop programs for the same tax year on the same computer because it can cause conflicts. The software is designed to handle multiple returns (up to five federal) in one installation.   However, you can install TurboTax Business along with one other personal version, such as Premier, or Home & Business. If you need to prepare more than five federal returns, you must use a different computer, use the online version, or file by mail.  However, keep in mind that the IRS limits individuals to e-filing a maximum of five tax returns per software license, account, or email address. This is done for security and identification purposes. Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.   {Edited 03/02/2026|08:03 AM PST}

If you're the beneficiary of an estate K-1 filing Form 1040 for yourself as an individual taxpayer, you will use the K-1 to pick up and pay tax on the passthrough income, but you will not attach the original K-1 to your tax return. Instead, verify that each K-1 box with an amount reported is entered accurately such that those amounts flow through to the corresponding lines on the 1040. Per the IRS Instructions for Schedule K-1 (Form 1041) for a Beneficiary Filing Form 1040: Use Schedule K-1 to report a beneficiary's share of the estate’s or trust’s income, credits, deductions, etc., on your Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Keep it for your records. Don’t file it with your tax return, unless backup withholding was reported in box 13, code B. You will use these same instructions to verify that each K-1 item on your individual return is consistent with the way the items were treated on the estate return. The agency already has a copy of the K-1 from the 1041 filing, they just need you the taxpayer to report the final treatment of the income.    Is any item of K-1 income missing from the corresponding lines of income on page 1 of your 1040 (pages 1 and 2 of 1040-SR), or is your taxable income lower than anticipated?

An IRS hold with this code can mean a few different things. You will receive a letter in the mail if they need additional information from you to finalize the processing of your return.   In the meantime, don't make any changes to your tax return in TurboTax.  There isn't anything you can do about the issue unless and until you receive a letter from the IRS asking for additional information.
