You are correct, TurboTax does not support returns with Shared policy allocations of a Form 1095-A linked to self-employment income.  In general, this is a situation where you would not be able to e-file.    No.  If you are allocating 100% of your premiums to your son, then you have nothing to claim.  All of the premiums are his.  Basically, you cannot deduct what you didn't pay. You would need to allocate some of the premium to your wife if you wanted to claim this deduction.  Then you would only be able to claim the amount you allocated to her.     Also note, if your son is over 26, you would not be able to deduct his premiums even if you did pay them.     If the PTC fully pays the premium, you cannot claim a health insurance deduction.     Deducting Health Insurance Premiums If You're Self-Employed

You can add a second 1099-B from another broker in TurboTax,    Go back to Federal  Wages & Income Scroll to Investment Income Click Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B)".  Select "Add More Sales" on the summary screen to import or enter additional broker data.  If you're still entering the first set of data,  look for the Add More Sales button on the "Here's the investment sales info we have so far" screen.  This will bring you step 5 above.

Let's get working on this. They think that they are going to get away with this. Turbo Tax, Intuit Inc., are already being sued hence the reason why they are collecting interest on all our money because they are going to need it to pay the many class actions lawsuit they have coming their way. 

You'll receive a form 1099-R if you received during the tax year a distribution from a retirement plan such as an IRA, 401(k) account, 403(b) account or a pension plan. So you had no such distribution, you will not have a form 1099-R.

What the hell are you talking about? The receiving bank is my bank and it could not find my account number or name? Really? My bank stated " there was never a transaction even attempted". Therefore, please stop trying to justify Turbo tax Intuit Inc, scamming ass with your stupid narrative. 

Q. Why are the answers that I provide in the easy step sequence not reflected in the forms? A. As a dependent, she is not eligible for the education credit.  As such, form 8863 is not submitted.   What is it that you are trying to accomplish by trying to enter her education info on her return?   Here's a post on the five main points on the  1098-T: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/college-education/discussion/re-what-do-i-do-with-form-1098t/01/3760212#M63114

I'm not sure if it is fixed or not. I spent well over three house on the phone with TT on Saturday trying to find out if they were still working on it. No one had an answer for me. I was on hold with staff who were on hold trying to elevate this situation. Eventually, I was able to get the desktop version for "free" and fixed the forms that way. I was extra frustrated when I realized I had to pay another $25 to file my state taxes, but it's now done.     Then I got an email Sunday saying they are still working on the 5695 issue and another email Monday saying it's actually fixed. All a help person had to tell me was they are working on it on Saturday and possibly saved me hours of my life and $25.  All to say, this has been super frustrating and I will not be using TurboTax again.

You can use TurboTax to file form 1040.  That is the form that is generated for everyone who files through TurboTax.  So as you walk through and answer the questions in TurboTax, your form 1040 and any supporting forms will be filled out.    There is nothing you have to specifically do to SHOW your wife is not an American.  How are you filing?  Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately?     If filing separately, then there are only a few questions about them such as name, DOB and SSN.  If they do not have an SSN or ITIN and you choose to file Married Filing Separate, you can try typing NRA in as your spouses last name.  Make sure you put a check mark in the box that says My spouse is a Non-Resident alien in the My info section. When you get to the end and try to transmit the return, ignore the e-file errors regarding your NRA spouse and select transmit your return. If that does not work you will need to print and mail your return and write NRA (Non Resident Alien) in the space for her SSN. When you print your return, the instructions for mailing your return will be printed on the cover sheet of your return.  If you file as Married Filing Separate, then you would only include your income.     If your spouse chooses to be treated as an US Citizen for tax purposes, and you want to file as Married Filing Joint, you would need to include their income on your return. If you choose filing jointly, and they do not already have a SSN or ITIN, you will need to print and mail your return along with the W-7 and any other required documents to IRS ITIN Operation P.O. Box 149342 Austin, TX 78714-9342   The benefit to filing as Married Filing Jointly with a spouse that has no income is that your standard deduction is increased to $31,500 instead of $15,750 and you are not excluded from several of the credits.  So depending on your current tax situation and his worldwide income, it may benefit you to include him on your return.   Married Filing Joint versus Separate   Taxes for Expats

Desktop version. Deleted 5695, went through easystep again, zeroed out my home energy audit entry, and updated my IRS Identity Protection PINs —from IRS website, these change every year, assigned by IRS.  Refiled and returns were accepted.
