TT calculated my 2026 estimated taxes and showed I will owe more than $6,000, however, it says I do not need to pay estimated taxes for 2026 (it won't prepare vouchers).  Why is this?

Depending on what state you are in, TurboTax fees can be taken from your state or federal refund, which ever comes first.    Additionally, 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.   If the IRS "Where’s My Refund" tool shows your funds were released but you haven't received them, please note that Intuit does not hold these funds. You will need to contact the Santa Barbara Tax Products Group (SBTPG) directly: Website: SBTPG Support

Thanks, PK.   Yes, I believe that the HTKO did not come into effect. I believe Turbotax needs to generate two Form 1116's fot this situation but I am seeing only one.   Country - India   My status – US Citizen; My tax home from 1995 – present is the US.   Country of sale– India Capital gains (Passive income – is likely to be reclassified as high tax income and moved to General category based on my reading of Form 1116 instructions)   Property was used as residence by my mother who passed away in 2018. I owned 50%. (Gross proceeds – $ 170,100; original basis - $38,000, and adjustment in colum g 8949-$ 93,332). Original basis was as of 1995 for this portion. I inherited another 16.67% on her death in 2018. (Gross proceeds – $ 56,813 ; original basis - $23,779, and adjustment in column g 8949-) Basis was as of 2018 for the inherited portion. Totally, capital gain was 38,768+ 33,034 = $ 71802 Tax withheld - $36,871 Other foreign income (Passive Income Category) Interest - $1972; Tax withheld - $464 Worldwide Income – $ 264,000; Foreign: $ 73,774   My US tax liability without FTC - $35,732   Let me know if you need any other information
Generally only the account owner can get the deduction but some states do allow a contribution deduction by a non owner. I believe Indiana and Utah allow that but you would have to check.

Based on this information, it looks like you might be claiming an education credit for this person.  If you go back to the deductions and credits section of TurboTax and click on Update for Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T), you can scroll through each page until you reach a page that will ask if the person was enrolled in college full-time, at least half-time or less than half-time.   To qualify for the American Opportunity Tax Credit, a student has to be enrolled for at least half-time in order to get this credit.  The 1098-T that you received from the college will have a box 8 checked for at least half-time student.  If the student is a less than half-time student, they could still qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit.

Hey all,   Just hopping in here as someone who works for a crypto tax software company and has seen a lot of users face the same issue this year. There are a couple of workarounds that may help users who have too many txns to manually edit/add, given the desktop limitations currently:   Importing your data from TurboTax Online (free) to TurboTax Desktop. Summarizing txn totals and mailing in supporting documents. See the guide for step-by-step instructions on reporting crypto with TurboTax.
This form does not appear in TTax 2025 Premier. What to do?    Equally important: why is it not there? It's not exactly an unusual tax situation.

Hi Dianne:   Thanks for your response, I have a question regarding your input. Usually, I always took the RMD and instructed a brokerage to pay federal tax and state tax without any retaining amount with me. This time due to this missing action, I am owing federal tax and state tax without adding that missing RMD in the 2025 tax return. Now, if I add that missing RMD to the 2025 return, the amount I owe will double up of what I am currently owing at this point. Does it make sense?  Appreciate your help.

TurboTax does no have copies or images of your 1099R's or any of your other tax documents.   TurboTax only has the information that you entered---which is shown on the worksheets---no matter whether you keyed in the information by hand or imported it.   If you want a copy of your 1099R you have to get it from the financial institution that issued it.
