Try this: Use the trashcan icon in the Canadian Pension section next to where this appears, but you don't click Continue, because it creates a new Canada RRP Worksheet. So click the trashcan and go right back to Federal Review.
We are currently investigating the issue and will provide updates as soon as possible.

My MAGI is $117,000 and I have over $25,000 in rental loss. TT is currently reducing my $25,000 deduction by $8500 (50% of the amount over 100k). I was reading on a forum that if the average stay in my property is under 7 nights, i.e. this is a short-term rental, and I should be able to deduct all my loss, regardless of MAGI. Is this correct? If so, how is this accomplished?

I have attempted to connect with a Tax Expert four times today, and each time they connect me with a product specialist who cannot talk taxes with me. Why is this system even around if it cannot deliver even basic service that it claims to offer? What a waste. I feel locked into TT and losing confidence in its ability to meet my needs. Perhaps I will have to try another platform.

I am a non-resident of Idaho but have paid into the Idaho permanent building fund for many years, including the last two using TurboTax. This year, I filled out the state tax questions in TurboTax and it indicates that I have NO TAX DUE. Did I miss something in the questions that somehow caused TurboTax to overlook the permanent building fund tax of $10?

Any other ideas Melinda? The phone rep says that TurboTax doesn’t know what the issue is and doesn’t know if/when it will be resolved. Do you know anything different? Thanks.

@PS56k if you've just finished 2025 on desktop why do you need online? Main difference with online is no forms mode, and it is good for 1 return only (per account, you can set up more accounts to do other returns but have to pay for each). Online is generally more expensive than desktop especially for those who need to prepare multiple returns.

Not an offset, a reduction. SE tax is self-employment tax - the Medicare and Social Security tax that w2 jobs take out when paid. Wherever you have self-employed income flowing in, that creates the tax. I know you have the Lyft on Sch C. You may have a k-1 with income earned that requires the SE tax since none was withheld.
You should be making estimated tax payments throughout the year when you have a Sch C. At least one each quarter but you can make a payment each paycheck or however you want to work it out. You don't want to owe a lot of money and have penalties added on top.

Since the IRS already has copies of all your 1099's a Summary Total is all that is required for your tax return.

Just got a chance to read through the 1116 Comp Wks. I don't know what "deductible other interest" actually means. When I view data source, it shows I am itemizing, the total on Form 1116 3d does exceed 5000. I can't quite parse that bit of the sentence about Form 1040, but I assume that's saying that 4b1a should match Schedule A, line 9. Clicking there, that is indeed 0. Following that, I get to Form 4952 where it's not showing any Investment Interest Expense Deduction. But clearing that 0 that was entered in 4b1a and setting it to null is removing the error.

Eight weeks is not very long at all, for an amended return. I believe the IRS says eight to twelve weeks is normal; however, you shouldn't be surprised if it takes 16 weeks, or more. As you mentioned, it's the middle of tax filing season, so that's their priority. That said, they could process it next week.

And some things to know….. If you edit or review a 1099R it does not keep your answers from before but resets them to the defaults. Then you have to go' through and answer them all again. So be sure to go all the way to the end of the 1099R section. They are right unless you go back. If you are looking at an income summary screen or review screen those show all the full amounts as income and lump a lot of stuff together. You need to check the actual 1040 line 4b or 5b and make sure it's right.
