The Adjusted Gross Income on your Form SD 100, Ohio School District tax return, is the same as what appears on your Ohio state income tax return, Ohio IT 1040, Line 3. If you believe the number may not be correct, revisit the Ohio state return section and go over the questions that determine the additions and subtractions from your Federal AGI to arrive at Ohio AGI.   You can make certain additional entries for Ohio School District Taxes, such as to correct your school district code, in the Ohio state return. In the Ohio interview in TurboTax, continue past the income, credits and other taxes section, until you get to the screen "A few things before we wrap up your state taxes". See screenshot below. Select Edit or Revisit next to School District Taxes and complete the screens that follow.   If you entered your school district code in the W-2 section of the Federal return, the Ohio interview will have it and will inform you if anything needs to be revised. The W-2 interview does allow you to enter Ohio school district codes.    You should file an SD 100 if you:   Lived in a taxing school district at any point during the tax year, Received any type of income while you were a resident, AND You have a tax liability on that income (SD 100, line 8). Important: You may have a school district income tax liability even if you do not have an Ohio income tax liability. In such cases, you must file both an SD 100 and an IT 1040. If you lived in a taxing school district and received income, ODT recommends you file an SD 100, even if you don’t have a tax liability, to avoid failure-to-file billings.   See this Ohio DOR webpage for more information.   You can preview your return before filing to find out how your taxes were calculated and to find a line item on your state return. See here for details. You can also view the Tax Summary under Tools on the left-side menu in TurboTax Online.  

Typically, you can just delete the information for the box you are completing or enter a 0.  Some answers are completed by TurboTax and will not be able to be changed.     If you give us more information about the specific form and answer you are wanting to delete, we can give you specific information.  

Just a guess, but if you are using Bank of America, be aware that in larger states, BOA may have 2 routing numbers--one that is used for paper checks and one that is used for ACH electronic deposits.    So for some people using BOA, the correct routing number to use may not be on the paper check.   If that's your situation,  you should be able to get the correct electronic ACH routing number in your online Bank account, or by looking up your state on the BOA website, or by phoning BOA.    Of course, if this is not BOA, then none of this paragraph will apply to you.   There may be a couple of other banks that have a similar situation in some states.  So if your bank uses different ones for different regions of your state or for paper checks vs. electronic deposits, either look it up in your online bank account or phone your bank to verify which routing number to use.

If you search on this site you can see that the same issue has occurred every year since at least 2019.  Workarounds posted here help. Calling the Intuit helpline also works but will burn a bit of time for you. (They will not fix the issue, but may issue you another license.)

I had the same issue with my 2025 return. TurboTax help line said that I did not have a legal copy of TT. So it was cancelled. This was after I had already filed two other returns.   I called the company that I purchased TT from. They quickly sent me a new activation code and instructions. It worked perfectly after that.   Hope this helps someone.

You can deduct payments only if your divorce or separation agreement was finalized on or before December 31, 2018, and not modified after that date to explicitly disallow the deduction.  To enter in TurboTax, go to Deductions and Credits and look under Other Deductions and Credit.   See Can I deduct alimony I paid to my ex-spouse?

I don't know where to mark the After this i"best answer" but this is it.  I just needed the tools to move forward. It was easier before.  After this it's on to calculating cost basis on non-covered shares with drip accounts going back to the 90's and the hard drive with the data crashed last summer. I must like tax pain. lol

@lethabaker2022  If you are having an economic hardship, you can contact the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service for help in getting information and possibly expediting the processing of your refund.   That is one of the the criteria they use for helping people, so be sure to stress your economic hardship when they are asking you about your request for help.   Select your state here to get the phone number of the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Office in your area: https://www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/contact-us/#FindlocalTAS   For more info about the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc104 and https://www.irs.gov/taxpayer-advocate
