If your saved return from last year doesn't include an Asset Entry Worksheet, you can also use the Depreciation and Amortization Report (see below). This is a TurboTax schedule and not part of your official IRS return. However, the information you need to re-enter the asset is included on this report.   Note that deleting an asset from your Rental Property will not change other information entered for that property or anywhere else on your return.    Please be reassured that our tech support team is aware of your experience and is working on a solution. We'll let you know when an update is released.  

First make sure that you need to amend your return.  You need to amend your return if there is information missing or incorrect on your original return.  When you amend only correct the information that is incorrect, do not change anything with the rest of the return.     If you filed your original return with TurboTax, then you need to sign in to your account:   On the home screen, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and  select the year you want to amend Select Amend (change) return, then  Amend using TurboTax Online If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax CD/Download below instead.

@emmajgarrett1580 The spouse phone number does not get entered anywhere on a tax return nor does it get filed your tax return.   If you want to change the phone number for a spouse on the Federal Information Worksheet, click on Personal Wks for your spouse on the left side of the screen when you are in Forms mode.  Change the phone number.

You should enter the W-2 exactly as it is without changing anything because the IRS will match the W-2 with your tax return. Any changes in state income allocations can be handled on the state returns.   To clarify: what state or states did you live in during 2025?    You will need to file a New York tax return for the wages earned while working in New York, but where you lived while working in NY and where you lived during the rest of the year will determine which state tax returns you need to file.   If you lived in Massachusetts at any point during 2025, you may need to file a resident or part-year MA return. If your W-2 mistakenly withheld MA income or if it will be double taxed by NY and MA, that can be taken care of on the MA return.   Take a look at the My Info area in TurboTax to make sure that you have answered the questions correctly about your residency in 2025 and money earned in other states. That will help generate the correct state tax returns for you to file.   See this TurboTax article about filing returns in multiple states for more information.
