Try deleting the 1095-A and then re-enter it.   See ** below.   @dstautz1    Leave all columns A-C on the Oct - Dec lines completely blank; delete any zeros there.   You should only have entries in columns A-C on lines Jan - Sept.     **For any month you have an amount in column A, you have to have a positive amount in column B, and any amount (including $0) in column C.   If there is no amount (or $0) in column A, leave all columns blank for that line.       So, you should have zeros in Column C for Jan-Sept, but column C should be blank for Oct - Dec since those lines should be completely blank (nothing in column A).  

You are correct with regard to deducting only the state taxes paid in 2025 as itemized deductions on your federal return. You would have to review what you entered on your 2024 tax return to see if you entered only dates in 2024 for the estimated taxes paid. It is possible to indicate that the taxes were paid in 2025, and that would mean TurboTax did not make an error.

Follow these steps: I think you are using the annualized income installment method and seeing a mismatch between federal taxes and underpayment penalty sections. Go to Federal > Other Tax Situations.

This is where you tell the program your income/withholding wasn't "even." The Box Check: Look for a screen that asks about Withholding or Check here if you want to treat your federal income tax as having been withheld evenly. Since you entered specific dates elsewhere, the software will throw an error. Uncheck that box. Note: If you don't have a penalty, it doesn't matter.

If you owned the digital asset for at least a year and a day then it was long term.  If you owned it for less than that it is short term.  If the people issuing you the 1099-DA don't know how long you had the digital asset before you sold it then they can't check a box in box 6.  You'll have to figure it out using the date of the purchase and the date of the sale.
