@1103412324 We understand your frustration and appreciate the feedback. Our team is working to finalize this form. Once it is finalized and updated, we will post it in this thread and update the Locked forms link. We appreciate your patience as we work on this. Thank you.

But if you paid the 4th qtr state estimate for 2024 in Jan 2025 you can enter that one for federal Schedule A.   For Schedule A you can only deduct the payments actually made in 2025.   For a state estimated payment made in Jan 2025 for the prior year, go to the separate line 2024 state estimated taxes paid in 2025.

No, there’s no change to your residency. West Virginia and Ohio have a reciprocal tax agreement. This changes how your wages are taxed and which tax returns you need to file.   You may need to file a Ohio non-resident return if:    Your employer withheld Ohio tax by mistake, and You need to claim a refund of those Ohio withholdings. This is also stated in WV’s reciprocity guidance: if the other state withheld tax, you must file that state’s return to get the refund.   If your Ohio employer is withholding taxes on your salary, go to Human Resources and request to fill out a Ohio IT‑4NR (reciprocity exemption) form to prevent your employer from withholding Ohio taxes 

As you are probably already aware, federal law was changed in 2019 making alimony non-deductible on your Federal return.   However, California does still allow for an alimony deduction on the State return for 2025 (divorce agreements signed or modified on or after January 1, 2026, will now also be non-deductible on your CA return as well).   Enter Alimony Deduction: Open or continue your return. Under Federal tab, Click on Deductions & Credits. Scroll down and look for Other Deductions and Credit, and Click on Start/Revisit next to Alimony Paid. Enter the Date of the Final Agreement (after Dec 31, 2018, your Federal tax is unaffected, but you need to  enter it here to qualify for the California deduction). Enter the recipient’s SSN and the total amount paid in 2025. Check that Alimony was correctly "Added" to your CA return: After entering your information in the Federal section, Start your California State return. Navigate to the Adjustments or Income Modification section, and Look for Schedule CA (540) Adjustments. Your alimony amount should be listed as a "Subtraction" from your income (reducing your California taxable balance).

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS releases your refund.    The IRS states that most federal tax refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance, however, some may take longer if they require additional review. Also, by law, the IRS cannot issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This applies to your entire refund, not just the portion related to those specific credits.   Here are a few FAQs to help you track your refund: When will I get my federal tax refund? How do I track my state refund? Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"? Why do some refunds take longer than others? What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

1. No, because you must claim the credit in the year the property was "placed in service" (installed and turned on).  No exceptions.   2. No, because the credit is completely gone for 2026, as a result of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (or whatever its official name is) that was signed in 2025.  

Is this for a 1099-DA?   Currently, TurboTax supports the manual entry of IRS Form 1099-DA. We are in the process of enhancing our CSV import and upload features to make this process more seamless. Timeline: We expect the new CSV import functionality to be available soon. Please note that this is an estimated target as we finalize the experience. Supported Documents: Once live, the import/upload feature will support both 1099-DA and DigitalAssetGainLoss files. If you are ready to file now, you can still enter your information manually. Otherwise, thank you for your patience while we get these automated tools ready for you!

I didn't have a problem importing my 1099B from Schwab (I'm apparently in the minority; my import was ready by about Feb. 6 and it went in without any problem, as far as I could tell.) But all of these people who've had trouble this year has me worried for future years.  The main advantage for me to use TurboTax is the 1099B imports for our two brokerage accounts.  Since I've changed my holding method to actual cost rather than average for mutual funds (in order to be able to harvest losses to offset gains occasionally) it would be horrible to try to enter every sale for a given mutual fund because of all the dividend reinvestments.   Is there a problem with TurboTax's importing functions this year?

Your refund could be offset. The IRS and State Governments have the ability to offset a refund to pay for certain past due debts.  You generally will receive a letter stating what the offset was for.    The IRS provides a toll-free number, (800) 304-3107, to call for information about tax offsets.

Nous sommes conscients de ce problème et il sera résolu d'ici le 17 mars.   Pour le moment, vous pouvez saisir n'importe quel courriel valide dans la ligne TP1 10.1 pour contourner cette erreur.   Si vous saississez uniquement un courriel sans cocher aucune case (10.2...10.5), aucune de ces informations ne sera transmise à RQ, même pas le courriel.   Nous vous remercions de votre patience

A couple of possibilities: sometimes the program just doesn't go to zero - customers come back and say return is correct despite the meter. tax law updates - the program will update and if there were updates after you filed, that could change the numbers. Review your 1040X: column A matches with your original return.  column B shows the changes column C is your correct new return

Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

@ItsUnknown @Would you care to share your workflow here once you’ve finished in FreeTaxUSA? I’m especially interested in whether it’s able to generate the 8949 form from an imported csv file? All I have to work with are csvs provided by the defi platform. Thanks!
