"The problem is really where to properly enter the foreign income. " If using forms, I believe that you compute the number, and enter that into  "1116 Comp Wks:   line 1c in the appropriate column.   This is working for me down through form 1116 line 8. My problem is getting from line 8 to line 9, which seems like an odd place to stop getting the numbers. Form 1116 with Premier will not propagate line 8 to line 9.

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.    Sometimes—not always— the IRS corrects your mistakes, while they are processing your return.    If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

TurboTax gets no information after you file your tax return, so no one at TT knows that you had to verify your identity.  Only the IRS is in control.   It is not unusual to get a request to verify your identity, especially  if you filed really early in the tax season.  You will need to watch the IRS refund site for information; it may take nine weeks for your refund to be issued after you verify identity, or it might be sooner.   You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:      

i understand that. but home office 2 is a LOT more expensive than home office 1 - and so putting only 25% of the year there is going to make turbo tax bias home office 1 more in my final home office deduction and a lot of those expenses for home office 2 will not get deducted.   am i making sense? is my fear reasonable?   is this just how it works and there is no way to capture that extra deduction from the more expensive home office because it was only used 25% of the year?   the way i'm looking at it is that in in 2025 i spent $XXXXX.XX dollars   on home office related expenses ( rent, utilities, internet etc., )  and MOST of that money came from home office 2 which was only used 25% of the year..   but in my mind somehow, i still spent all that money on JUST my home office, why cant I deduct all of it? why does some of it get left on the table because i didn't spend enough time at home office 2?   home office 1 was, simply put, a LOT cheaper rent wise but i spent 75% of the year there   is there any legal way to capture all of the deduction i deserve and deduct all of my home office expenses for the year?

A few people have mentioned a class action lawsuit, I am very interested I feel extremely robbed - it's insane that my refund was a thousand dollars and Turbotax STOLE $249 of it when I declined every single upgrade they kept trying to force on me, I kept requesting the most bare bones and they never gave me a chance to consent to what they stole from me. I'll ask my lawyer about this too but please follow through if enough people do this we will get refunded because this is so wrong. I'll never use Turbotax again.

It isn't fixed. I have one dependent child and one non-dependent. Both received distributions for their 529 accounts. I can deduct room and board for the dependent child, but not for the non-dependent. The software will allow the expense if I go back to personal info and make her a dependent - not that that is solution, it just highlights the glitch.

The advice to open up the "Federal Information Worksheet." Scroll down to Part 6 and at the 5th paragraph see the "Foreign Tax Credit Form 1116". Checkmark the box to file form 1116 does not work. The form is not generated.
