I installed a second new software of turbotax but I try to open a file created from my first  software, I keep getting the error 190. the state information was installed then I closed TT and reopended but still getting the same error 190  

The reminder is simply that your 2024 tax return should reflect that the excess contribution was returned and that any attributable investment gain was reported on the 2024 tax return.  Only if these were not already done do you need to amend.   Other than providing you with this reminder and crediting any tax withholding on your 2025 tax return, 2025 TurboTax ignores the code-JP 2025 Form 1099-R.  If the form shows no tax withholding (it's rare that any taxes are withheld from a return of contribution), your 2025 tax return will be the same whether you include this form or not.

Hi,   I came up with a similar situation for 2025. Would you be able to help me out?   I was in a car accident where the amublance came. The ambulance ended up being out-of-network with my health insurance, but I appealed the health insurance's denial of payment, and they ended up sending me a check for the ambulance bill (which I paid).   Do I need to report this anywhere? I'm thinking it's a similar situation as my original post. I would think that the $200 check from my health insurance as a reimbursement would offsent my $200 medical expense that I paid to the ambulance company, so therefore I shouldn't need to report either.

To change your driver's license:     Log in to your TurboTax account. Click the File tab. Proceed through the screens until the section requiring your driver's license information. Edit the number, issue date, or expiration date.  

Assuming that you have a question about state tax exemptions for Illinois:   The standard personal exemption is calculated using the basic exemption amount of $2,050 plus the cost-of-living adjustment. See this Illinois webpage for more information.   For tax year beginning January 1, 2025, it is $2,850 per exemption. If someone else can claim you as a dependent and your Illinois income is $2,850 or less, your exemption allowance is $2,850. If income is greater than $2,850, your exemption allowance is 0. For tax year beginning January 1, 2026, it is $2,925 per exemption.  If someone else can claim you as a dependent and your Illinois base income is $2,925 or less, your exemption allowance is $2,925. If income is greater than $2,925, your exemption allowance is 0. For prior tax years, see Form IL-1040 instructions for that year. If you (or your spouse if married filing jointly) were 65 or older and/or legally blind, the exemption allowance is an additional $1,000, whichever is applicable. (If you turned 65 at any point during the tax year, you may claim this exemption.) Please see the IL-1040 instructions for additional information.    Note: The Illinois exemption allowance is not allowed if a taxpayer’s federal adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeds $500,000 for returns with a federal filing status of married filing jointly, or $250,000 for all other returns.   TurboTax will calculate any personal exemptions allowable on your Illinois state return, based on information you entered in the My Info / Personal Info section of the Federal return plus any additional questions in the Illinois interview, along with your income.   @THicklin

Sorry DianeW777, but this is so lame compared to It'sDeductible it's not even funny.  TurboTax was SO benevolent to provide us with a FMV tool.  Hope it wasn't too taxing on the programmers.  In October I downloaded all my YTD donation data in all formats, thinking that since Intuit cut us off at the knees in the midst of the tax year (ridiculous, unimaginable!), and made such a point of instructing us to download the data, that surely you would provide a tool or utility to import that data in one of the formats offered come tax time.  Silly me!  I am some kind of stupid!  I should have known better!  So I just finished re-entering all the data that I had entered prior to October 21 - item by item, donation by donation, a total pain.  And I'm still trying to figure out the benefit of using your program when I also have to do some of the math offline.  Isn't that why TT exists?  To save us time and effort at tax time?  I guess not when $$$$ are at stake.  With each entry I became more and more angry.  So, even though H&R Block and the other providers don't have a similar tool I am leaving TT as soon as I finish my return because as I said in my initial post months ago, you guys have absolutely NO loyalty to your long-time customers and have proved it yet again this year.

The only way one can do this on MAC desktop is use the Print option of the File menu at which point you are presented with options to print    Tax Returns only Recommended forms and worksheets All forms & worksheets

so I did the same...contributed too much in 2024 $8000 and I removed it plus earnings on 4/7/25.  I received a 1099R 2025 and put in the numbers in my 2025 Turbo tax and TT said I should  amend 2024.  IF I amend 2024 I assume I can just remove the info I originally put in my 2025 return so as not to get dinged twice? 

I had a problem with the standard deduction too for the 2025 California CA 540 income tax return.  After inputting all my income and expenses, I completed federal and state reviews until no errors were detected.  However, I found that the CA 540 tax return showed NO deductions - not standard or itemized.  I did not have itemized deductions for federal, so the standard deduction should have been populated automatically.  But the software has some sort of bug because it had a $0 deduction.  I looked at prior posts with a similar topic and tried to address any inconsistencies that might be affecting the deduction, but found none.  Shouldn't the software have an error check that says "you have no deductions to taxable income - do you want to review? before allowing me to file my taxes?  I ended up having to manually override the deduction on Schedule CA line 30 to complete my return.  I wonder if the error has something to do with the new tax law this year that removes tips and overtime premium from federal income tax calculations, because that is the only difference between  my 2025 and 2024 tax returns.
