Yes, you can manually adjust 2026 estimated tax payments in TurboTax 2025 to reflect fluctuating income. Navigate to the Federal > Other Tax Situations tab, select Start next to Estimated Taxes for 2026 to adjust income/withholding estimates, overriding the automatic vouchers. 

I prepared my own taxes through Turbo Tax. I agreed to have the fees taking from my refund. Normally they will take the fees from your Federal tax refund. However I received my state taxes back first. Turbo Tax took the fees from state which was fine. Later I received my Federal taxes back. The charged me again. I called to get this resolved and was offered a partial refund back. How you going to make and error and offer me partial reimbursement? I used Turbo Tax for years, I will not use this company again as I have no trust in them, and feel they stole from me, and nothing Im able to do about this. They have lost my business and if you do continue to do business with them, please be aware of those aggressive actions they take.   Good Luck  

Well it is a Refund Processing Service Charge because your refund has to go though a 3rd party bank  to take the fees out.  It is also called Pay with Refund in many places and FAQs.     Are you in California?  In CA the Refund Processing fee is $45 (not 40) because you have to take Premium Services which includes Audit Defense.    What is Premium Services? https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/choosing-a-product/help/what-is-the-premium-services-bundle/00/25541

This answer is correct, but TTax has made getting to that form absurdly complicated. Why is it not listed in the general list, which would make it much easier for users to find without having to drill four levels down?

You must go into the rental property income section first, then follow the steps to enter your carryover loss. Any passive activity loss (PAL) carryforwards allowed would be listed on your Form 8582, Worksheet 5 or 6, in your 2024 tax return as 'unallowed loss'.  If you have a PAL and it does not seem to be populated in your 2025 tax return you can take the following steps to enter it. Use the magnifying glass to Search (upper right) > Type rentals > Jump to Rentals > Select Edit beside your Rental Activity  > Under Less Common Situations > Review Carryovers, limitations, at risk info, etc. > Continue to enter your passive loss carryover.  See the image below for assistance.
