Currently, TurboTax supports the manual entry of IRS Form 1099-DA. We are in the process of enhancing our CSV import and upload features to make this process more seamless. Timeline: We expect the new CSV import functionality to be available soon. Please note that this is an estimated target as we finalize the experience.
Supported Documents: Once live, the import/upload feature will support both 1099-DA and DigitalAssetGainLoss files.
If you are ready to file now, you can still enter your information manually. Otherwise, thank you for your patience while we get these automated tools ready for you!

This sounds like a different issue to me. In my case, I could always see and "select" the months 10, 11, or 12, but I would not actually select the month as it either stayed at unselected or whatever month I previously selected. My workaround was that I had one card with an expiration month that I could enter.

When you went through the education section, it asked if the scholarship was used for graduate or postdoctoral study and that must be answered yes for the IRA eligibility. If you did, and the program still disallowed the ROTH, it must be entered as @ReneV4 states.
Caution: This means that you are no longer entering the full stipend in the education section. Instead, the nontaxable portion remains in the education section. The taxable portion is what you remove from the education section and is the amount reported under Other Income.

Make sure your W-2 entry doesn't show any tax county tax withheld (or income). If you imported your W-2, try deleting it and re-entering it manually.
Also, in the Indiana State interview, make sure you indicated 'non-resident' at the beginning of the interview. In that case, you should not be asked for an address or County in the following screens.

For my Illinois 2025 tax return, was Walgreens Boots Alliance still considered an Illinois High Impact Business located in a Foreign Trade Zone (Chicago/Sub Zone 22)? I can't find this information anywhere. I know where to enter the information on TurboTax, I just can't find whether it is still legitimate information for 2025 or not.

The senior deduction is automatically calculated by TurboTax based on the dates of birth you entered for each spouse.
The senior additional deduction is not included in the standard deduction but appears on line 37 of Schedule 1-A of your form 1040, with that amount flowing to line 13b of your form 1040.
In TurboTax Online, you can only view Schedule 1-A after registering and paying the TurboTax fee.
But you can preview your form 1040 and check line 13b of your form 1040 which includes the senior deduction among other deductions if applicable, such as the tip deduction, the overtime or the car loan interest deduction.
To preview your form 1040 in TurboTax Online, follow these steps:
Open your return
In the left-hand column, locate Tax Tools, click on the drop-down arrow then click on Tools
On the Tools Center page, click on View Tax Summary
In the left-hand column, click on Preview my 1040
Your form 1040 will display.
Scroll down to line 13b and you should see the amount of this deduction included in this line.

Yes. Depending on your combined income, you may have taxable social security of $0. "Combined Income" is calculated as your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) + Nontaxable Interest + 1/2 of your Social Security Benefits. If this amount is less than the threshold for your filing status, you could have $0 taxable social security. As long as line 6a shows your social security benefits, if line be says $0, then this would be correct. Now, if you are not done with your return and you add more income, this could change and more of your SS could become taxable.
Taxability of Social Security & SSDI
General Rule: Social Security benefits are not fully taxed. Depending on your "combined income," up to 85% of your benefits may be taxable.
SSDI Treatment: SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) benefits are treated exactly the same as regular Social Security benefits for tax purposes.
Thresholds for 85% Taxable:
Single: Combined income above $34,000.
Married Filing Jointly: Combined income above $44,000.
Married Filing Separate: Benefits are taxable at 85% regardless of income level.
Thresholds for 50% Taxable:
Single: Combined income between $25,000 and $34,000.
Married Filing Jointly: Combined income between $32,000 and $44,000.
Why did the taxable amount of my Social Security benefits change so much from last year?
If your income is over the amount that would keep your benefits from being taxable, go back through the social security section and double check your answer to did you live in a foreign country while receiving your SS benefits.

Question: Is there an error in the penalty interest rates used to calculate the underpayment penalty in CA's Form 5805? If true, what is the path to get Turbotax to fix this ASAP? Thank you! Current state: Looking at "Underpayment Statement", any amount due _before_ 07/01/25 is charged an interest rate of 7%. Any amount due _beginning_ 07/01/25 is charged 8%. Evidence 1: However, looking at "5805 Worksheet II", the instructions for line 11 (which is for the period 04/15/25-06/30/25) states "Underpayment on line 8 times number of days on line 10 divided by 365 days times .08". And the instructions for line 13 (which is for the period 07/01/25-04/15/26) states "Underpayment on line 8 times number of days on line 12 divided by 365 days times .07". This is the opposite of what is found in "Underpayment Statement". Evidence 2: Further, CA FTB's published interest rate schedule aligns with the instructions in "5805 Worksheet II" - _before_ 07/01/25 the penalty interest rate is 8%. _Beginning_ 07/01/25 the penalty interest rate is 7%. (https://www.ftb.ca.gov/pay/penalties-and-interest/interest-and-estimate-penalty-rates.html).

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS releases your refund.
The IRS states that most federal tax refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance, however, some may take longer if they require additional review. Also, by law, the IRS cannot issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This applies to your entire refund, not just the portion related to those specific credits.
Here are a few FAQs to help you track your refund: When will I get my federal tax refund? How do I track my state refund? Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"?
Why do some refunds take longer than others?
What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

Hi, thank you for the response. 1) You stated that in the home sale section towards the end, not to input a depreciation amount as this will be done in the sale of business property section to account for the room rental. So this along with the AMT part should then be left blank, yes? 2} You mentioned that if i wanted to use the depreciation for the tax year 2025, that a form 3115 must be used in order to do so. For clarification: If i dont want or care to use for 2025 and just calculate the cumulative depreciation.and use this figure on the sale of business property, is Form 3115 still required? 3) In the rental section, If i choose rental property converted back to personal use and sold (renter left at end of 2024 ) , will i still be able to input business use percentage, the date put in service, improvement cost minus land for that data to calculate the total amount of depreciation - so that willl feed to schedule 4797?
