You can contact your employer to request a replacement.   For more information, refer to the TurboTax Help article What To Do If You Haven't Received a W-2 and How do I file a substitute W-2 using Form 4852?

Thank you. You are absolutely right! Not sure why I assumed R&B were included into 1099! I have additional $8363 for the room and board paid to the college and I withdrew from 529 based on that and thoughts it was already in the 1099.  Thank you for pointing it out. I added it to the TT and it seems that now everything make sense and working properly.   I have 3 1098T entered right now. Should I combine still combine?   I also realized that one 1098T was for payment made in Dec 2025 for the 2026 winter semester (box 7 checked). Should I still keep it on this return? Given that, can I withdrew in 2026 towards this 1098T or is it cash basis and withdrawals are based on payment days, not education received dates?   Thank you for your suggestion about putting $9k tuition on my kid's. Given that there is no penalty anymore after I added R&B, but we do have higher taxes, is it still worth shifting $9k to him? What other criteria we should consider in this situation. Thank you

@Mark-In-Chicago    without getting into the complexities of Form 2210ai, if you do the conversion in May, 2026, the estimated taxes are due on June 15.  There is no "60 day rule" on estimated payments that I am aware of.    completing form 2210ai will tell you the minimum amount due on June 15. 

I assume you mean May 2026 - when you prepare your return you would enter estimated taxes under Deductions and Credits / Estimates and Other Taxes Paid   If you expect a significant increase in taxable income for 2026 due to the Roth conversion you may be better off paying fixed quarterly estimated tax based on 100% of 2025 tax (110% if 2025 AGI > 150k or 75k if filing MFS) rather than 90% of 2026 tax (see Form 2210 for the safe harbor calcs); with uneven ES payments you likely need to file Form 2210 AI method (in TT - Other Tax Situations / Underpayment Penalties) to show the uneven income vs. ES payments otherwise you may get a penalty for Q1 underpayment.   Without the AI method then by default IRS will assume your income was even thru the year, but ES applies to specific quarters so you may show underpaid for Q1.  To file AI method you have to calculate your AGI, withholding, qualified divs and LTCG by quarter which is extra filing work, and note the quarters for this method are uneven thru 3/31, 5/31, 8/31, 12/31.   If you are using TT desktop you can create a dummy return for 2026 using the 2025 s/w and play around with the numbers albeit with 2025 tax tables but will be in the ballpark and you can validate the Form 2210 calculations for your situation.

Thanks for this guidance.  When you say, > Keep the 1099-NEC in the tax file and delete that form from your return (see the link below).   do you mean, enter the 1099-NEC information into the associated form in TurboTax, but then delete that form before filing?  Or are you simply saying to keep the 1099-NEC paper form for your records and follow the steps you outlined?  

Duplicate post, which can cause redundancy and confusion.  I'm not sure why you started 2 threads.   Please stick to your original thread below, which was answered previously.   It told you another way to verify your email address in your Intuit Account or change it to a different one.  It also advised you to check your email's spam/junk folder just in case the verification code is ending up there.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/i-didnt-get-verification-code-to-my-email-how-can-i-get-it-i-click-many-times-didnt-get-it-still-not/00/3847440

@brommabo either way, it will have to be paid back.   He will have to check the box stating he CAN BE claimed by someone else.  And dependents are not eligible for PTC on their own tax return; you are mistaken that he would not have to repay the PTC.   Dependents who take out an ACA policy are not eligible for PTC.    So whether you claim him or not claim him, the PTC will need to be repaid.  Better to claim him and at least get the $500 other dependent credit to offset some of the PTC repayment.    read the last FAQ:    https://www.healthcare.gov/income-and-household-information/household-size/

It depends. If you’re self-employed, you can deduct work-related education expenses if the education maintains or improves skills that are required by law or industry regulations.   Work-related education expenses are no longer deductible to employees for tax years 2018-2025 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Refer to the TurboTax article Can I deduct work-related education expenses? and IRS Topic # 513 Work-related education expenses.   For additional information, review the TurboTax help articles:  What self-employed expenses can I deduct?  and How do I report income from self-employment?    

Oui mais dans la section personne à charge, il y a la se tion h ligne 260 qui indique l'argent reçu de l'aide social de dernier recours reçu pour la personne. Mais ça indique pas si c'est combien lui il a reçu ou si c'est ce que moi j'ai reçu pour lui

If you are a qualifying senior, TurboTax does calculate the Enhanced Senior Deduction automatically.   Be aware it is not part of the standard deduction.  It is a completely separate deduction that ends up on a different line of the Form 1040.  You do not have to make any specific entry.  Here's how to view and confirm:   For seniors age 65 and older and who meet the other qualifications for the new Enhanced Senior Deduction, TurboTax automatically fills out Schedule 1-A in the background and then enters the amount of the deduction on the Form 1040, Line 13b.  It is not part of the standard deduction--it is a completely separate deduction on its own line.   If you are "married filing jointly" and both qualify, then you both get the new deduction.  If you are "married filing separately", however, you are not eligible.   Single filers, HOH filers, and qualifying surviving spouse, if they otherwise qualify, are eligible.   You appear to be using Online TurboTax--at least that is what a tag shows underneath your question above.  If you are still preparing your online return, and want to verify that you received that new senior deduction, here's how you can preview the Form 1040 and confirm you are getting the enhanced senior deduction.   If you already printed out a copy of your return, you can view the Form 1040, Line 13b and Schedule 1-A where it was calculated.  If still preparing your return, here's how to preview it:   With your return open go to the left column menu, and click on TAX TOOLS, then subtab TOOLS. In the Tools window choose "View Tax Summary." On that Tax Summary screen you should see that you are getting "Additional Deductions (Schedule 1-A)." Then, while still on that Tax Summary screen,  you can further verify it by going over to the left column menu and under Federal clicking on "Preview my 1040."  That opens up the Form 1040 Worksheet.    Scroll down to Line 13b, and the figure there includes the enhanced senior deduction from the Schedule 1-A. And while you are there, you should see your standard (or itemized) deduction on Line 12e.
