It is a complete misread of the email I received on my part. I thought it stated since I filed but it stated since I last visited turbotax and the email was labeled as a follow-up. I just misread and misunderstood. Yes my question is answered. Thank you again. I apologize for any inconvenience.

I am having the same issue.  suddenly now they dont accept CSV files and "will soon" do only 1099.  But I bought CoinLedger specifically because it stated was compatible with Turbotax.  CoinLedger has PDF "friendly" files to download which are nice and was super easy to set up but when time came to upload it to Turbotax, it kept saying file too large.  Which I could have already told you the file was larger than 30mb.  How am I supposed to enter in this now if it doesn't accept CSV files OR PDF files?  Its not like I can upload little by little.  And I have no clue how to do the summary part.  Us two cannot be the only ones having such a difficult time doing this. 

I agree Freetaxusa is good software but for more complicated returns turbotax shines.    I had a taxable distribution from an Education Savings Account which required paying a penalty. Turbotax used a clear interview to determine the tax and penalty. Freetaxusa  requested to "enter the taxable portion of the distribution" and "enter the penalty". So turbotax calculated it based on simple questions and Freetaxusa made you understand the tax code.    

To enter your 1099-INT:   Open TurboTax Select Federal from the menu Select Wages & Income Select the down arrow at Investments & Savings Select Start or Revisit next to Interest on 1099-INT Select Yes on the Did you have investment income in 2025 screen Select Enter a different way on the next screen Select Type in in myself on the next screen Follow the prompts to add your 1099-INT. Refer to the TurboTax articles Where do I enter Form 1099-INT? and  Filing Tax Form 1099-INT: Interest Income for additional information.  

We still don't understand.  Are you ok now?  We are curious.  What did the email say?  Anything else like how much it was raised?  The Standard Deduction is raised from last year 2024.  If you are over 65 there is a new 6,000 deduction but that is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction.  

Enter a 1099-Int under Federal Wages & Income Interest and Dividends Interest on 1099-INT - Click the Start or Update button If you didn't get a 1099 put the total in Box 1. Don't try to import it. For Online…..On the Let import your tax info go down to the bottom and pick Change how I enter my form. Then pick Type it in myself. For Desktop program scroll down to Skip Import.

Well I was able to efile both state and federal taxes using another software, OLT. Turbo Tax definitely need to update their software for Wisconsin. OLT also does filing for people with foreign addresses, in case anyone else needs to file WI taxes from abroad.

Yes.  The amount not paid by insurance is deductible, but only if you itemize.  Additionally, the amount you can deduct for medical expenses is limited to the amount in excess of 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI).  So, if your AGI is $100,000 and your medical expenses are $10,000 you can include $2,500 as an Itemized Deduction.

Check the printout or PDF of your return; look for the state cover sheet with the Turbo Tax logo. If you owed tax, it will show the payment information and how/when you decided to pay. Read the state payment instructions carefully since most states cannot be paid from within the TT system and requires additional steps.

The IRS (federal) and New York (state) processes your tax returns separately once you e-file with TurboTax. You can pay your balance due to New York by making a payment on the NY Department of Taxation website: Make a personal income tax return payment online.  

Where did you buy the Desktop program?  There is a $25 fee to efile a state return which some stores like Costco gives you a $10 rebate.  I think It just says 100% maxium refund guarantee when you file, it's not something extra being added.  Except for the state efile fee.
