@GatitaSF Are you still having this problem? I am experiencing the same thing. I don't know why it is so challenging to update the software for one form. This is going on for way too long! My screen still shows that it will be corrected by March 6th. Would be nice if TT would continue to provide accurate updates.

Your employer did not report the bonus correctly. The change of ownership isn't the problem. All payments from an employer to an employee are supposed be treated as wages and be included in the employee's W-2. It doesn't matter whether it's regular pay, a bonus, or some other special payment. Form 1099-NEC is for "nonemployee compensation." But you are an employee, not a nonemployee. All of your compensation from your employer is employee compensation and should be included in your W-2. However, there is a way to report the 1099-NEC correctly on your tax return, in spite of the employer's error.
When you start to enter the 1099-NEC in TurboTax you will get a screen that asks "What type of income in on your 1099-NEC?" Select "Income that should've been reported on a W-2." Then click Continue. On the next screen enter the information from the 1099-NEC. The next screen asks if you also got a W-2. Answer Yes.
TurboTax will include Form 8919 in your tax return. The bonus will be reported as wages on Form 1040 line 1g. Form 8919 calculates the Social Security and Medicare taxes that your employer should have withheld on the bonus. The total of these taxes will appear on Schedule 2 line 6 and will be included in your total tax liability. It will not be reported as a business, and you will not have to pay self-employment tax.
This is actually not an uncommon situation. Employers sometimes report a bonus or other special payment on a 1099-NEC either out of ignorance or to avoid paying the employer's share of Social Security and Medicare taxes and other payroll taxes.

The preparer of your K-1 has reported more than one activity on one Schedule K-1.
At the screen Choose Type of Activity, click This K-1 reports in more than one of boxes 1,2, and 3.
Since your K-1 reports amounts in more than one of boxes 1, 2, or 3, the partnership/LLC is involved in more than one type of activity. You should treat each activity separately in TurboTax.
So there will be one K-1 entry for box 1 income. Only click on box 1 and the statement "This K-1...".
There will be a second K-1 entry for box 2 income. Only click on box 2 and the statement "This K-1...".
The other boxes of the K-1 may refer to either box 1 income, box 2 income or a combination. The preparer of the K-1 may have included attachments or detail which explain how those items break down.

@MelindaS1 Can you please tell me when this will be corrected? TurboTax has not updated the error with the estimated date and it feels like there is no end in sight. I have been using TurboTax since ~2003 and I would rather not use another company in the future, but the lack of communication and continuous delays are starting to wear on me. I even got a letter in the mail from TurboTax letting know that I have not filed my taxes yet. That letter felt like salt in the wound since the problem is with TurboTax, not my desire to file.

Thank you for reply. Unfortunately I have deleted and re-entered RMD 1099R ($700) multiple times and nothing changes - $700 is not being included as taxable income , but $70 Fed tax withheld is included in total taxes withheld. i am using TT Deluxe, Desktop edition (download). There is no follow-up question asking if RMD was cashed out, or anything similar to indicate it. I did likewise put that entire amount applies to RMD for 12/31/2025. Only solution I can figure out is to go into FORMS, specifically 1040/1040 worksheet and 1099R Summary and manually add on the $700 into the other taxable income from another Distribution already on line 4b. Additionally, on though I have other 1099R's which are reporting correctly, no totals of their amounts are showing up on line 4a of 1040 which shows Total Distributions (vs 4b - Taxable Amount of Distributions. Would be very appreciative of response at your earliest convenience. Have spent multiple hours googling, posting, entering/deleting/entering again, and cannot figure out why this is not working. Thank you.

I have a K1 for an LLC I'm a partner in. My K1 has entry in box 1 (ordinary business income) and box 2 net rental real estate income. TT is asking me to choose what type of activity this partnership is involved in? I am not sure which option to choose and the help section states choose based on amount in boxes 1-3. My last year's K1 had entry only in box 1. I'm a bit confused now how to enter the values from both box 1 and 2 in TT.

When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.
Each return needs its own email, account and user ID. If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.

Are you attempting the transfer of the 2024 desktop data file into a 2025 online return this way: Log into the 2025 online return. In the left menu column choose TAX TOOLS, then TOOLS. In the Tools window choose "Transfer last year's TurboTax return from your computer." When you agree to the warning, point the online program to the location of the *.tax2024 data file on your computer. And when you continue, it just spins? Is your computer a Windows PC or Mac?

Double check this amount- did you elect to have 100% of your distribution withheld for NY tax? If not, it sounds like there is either an error in the input or on the 1099-R.
If you did elect for your entire distribution to be withheld, decrease the total in Box 14 by one cent. It will clear the error and your return will stay the same since rounded numbers are used.
