Taking a look at your tax data file, the amount shown on line 10 of Form 8606-S is actually blank and the calculated amount on line 15 has an asterisk beside it.     This is what TurboTax help content says about the situation where line 10 is blank:   However, if there is a star next to the amount on line 15, this field will be blank. Refer to the Taxable IRA Distribution Worksheet for the spouse. The Taxable IRA Distribution Worksheet may be used if there is also a contribution to a traditional IRA that may be nondeductible. This worksheet can be accessed from the Smart Worksheet at the bottom Part I of this Form 8606.   Then, there is also an asterisk beside the amount shown on Form 8606-S for line 13 and the help content says:   However, if there is a star next to the amount on this line, the amount comes from the Taxable IRA Distributions Worksheet (spouse's copy), line 11.   So, there is not an error on your Form 8606-S, the values are calculated on a different worksheet due to the situation in your return where there was a distribution and non-deductible contribution with the Traditional IRA.   You can either look for the form Tax IRA Dist-S in Forms (if you are using TurboTax desktop), or look for Taxable IRA Distribution Worksheet when you print all tax forms including worksheets (if you are using TurboTax Online and have paid the fee).  This is the form where you will see the calculations that have been used and included on Form 8606-S.   @redmarlen 

If you don't have an annuity but are stuck in the annuity information section in TurboTax Online, you can remove or skip it by doing the following: 1.

Select the option to Delete or Remove that annuity income entry. 4. Continue through the interview to bypass the annuity section. This will clear the annuity info and allow you to proceed without reporting annuity income.

No. Income reported on a 2025 Form 1099-NEC generally must be reported on your 2025 tax return, regardless of when related expenses or deductions occur. Tax rules require income and related deductions to be reported in the tax year they are earned or incurred. You usually can't carry over income from 2025 to 2026 just because expenses happen later. The income is taxable in 2025, while deductions for expenses paid in 2026 are reported on your 2026 return. This separation means you report 2025 income on your 2025 tax return and claim expenses when paid in 2026 on your 2026 return. This follows standard tax accounting principles for income and expenses across tax years.  

I found one posting suggesting a work-around in TT to manually add books, computer & room and board to the student worksheet (from manisman1995 - see link below)   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/retirement/discussion/how-to-enter-room-board-expenses-in-1098-t-1099-q-sections/00/3745114#:~:text=Level%203-,How%20to%20enter%20Room%20&%20Board%20expenses%20in%201098%2DT%20/,Level%203    When I tried to do this, I still have some issues.  This is what I did.   1) I entered my 1099Q for 2.3K (from 529 distribution) into the wages/income misc section where the next screen allows you to enter 1099Q.   2) I switched to Deduction section entered more info about my son as the student (but put NO on the question - did he receive 1098T).  This screen allowed me to enter books, computer & room and board expenses.  But I still have to pay some tax for the 2.3K amount.   3)  I switched to view the "forms" and reviewed the student worksheet under my son's name to see how the numbers were created.  If I manually put the entire 2.3K on computer expenses, then I will pay NO tax.  But if I have some amount on Room&board and Books, I have to pay some tax on.  Am I doing something wrong?  or this is one of the TT software bug that has not been fixed yet?  I thought my entire 2.3K should be tax-free if they are qualified education expenses.   Please help with my questions above.  thank you   HHP

For home purchases in 2025, there is currently no federal "First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit," as there has been in the past.    However, you could possibly be eligible for Mortgage Interest Credit if you obtain a Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) from your state or local government, which allows a direct credit for a portion of your annual interest paid for moderate income homebuyers. Additionally, 2025 is the final year to claim the Residential Clean Energy Credit (30% for solar, wind, or battery storage) and the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (up to $3,200 annually for upgrades like heat pumps, insulation, and windows).   While not a credit, many homeowners itemize their deductions on Schedule A rather than taking the standard deduction, which is $15,750 for singles and $31,500 for married couples. The primary benefit is the mortgage interest deduction, which allows you to subtract the interest paid on up to $750,000 of mortgage debt from your taxable income. Additionally, the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap was recently increased to $40,000, meaning you can now deduct up to $40,000 of your SALT, which includes property taxes.   You can navigate to See this helpful article to find all the ways you can save money on taxes this year Tax Breaks and Home Ownership

If you are all in the same policy,  after you enter your form, there is a question in TurboTax that asks if you shared the policy with someone else.  Answer yes, and then enter the information for one of your adult children.  Then you will need to allocate the amounts between all three of you.  They will also need to do this on their return.     Where do I enter my 1095-A?   @rleaf             

You’re right about the math. If your basis is zero, then zero divided by any number is still zero. There’s no underlying tax issue here.   However, the software and the IRS require that year-end balance because of the Pro-Rata Rule and how Form 8606 is designed. This helps prevent picking and choosing which funds to report. It’s not just about this year’s numbers.   The IRS treats all your traditional, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs as one big account. When you convert to a Roth, you can’t choose to move only the after-tax money. Instead, the IRS requires you to convert a mix of both pre-tax and after-tax funds, based on their share in your total IRA balance. To prove that slice is 100% taxable, the IRS requires a "snapshot" of your retirement portfolio as of December 31st.   Verification of the Ratio: Even if your basis is "0" the IRS uses Line 6 of Form 8606 (where that year-end value goes) to establish the denominator for the fraction. Without that number, the form is technically incomplete.  The "Paper Trail" Requirement: Even if the calculation results in 0, the IRS wants to see the inputs. If they ever audited you and saw a conversion but no reported total value for your other IRAs, they wouldn't know if you were‌ tax-exempt or if you just forgot to calculate the ratio. If the software is generating a Form 8606 and that line is blank, it could be because it used it to confirm the "Pro-Rata" math was indeed zero, but since the result was "100% taxable," it just moved the final number to your 1040.   The tax expert is likely being cautious because IRS Instructions for Form 8606 say you have to include the December 31st value if you took a distribution or did a conversion and have any basis. If your basis is truly zero, this question acts as a quick check by the software to make sure you’re not missing anything that could affect your taxes.     @jhbrown42
