They are not going to remove all the prior year answers that are not current now. That would be almost all the posts in the forum. That post above is 2 years old from 2024. It's hard enough keeping the FAQs updated and some of them are still out of date or wrong.

If NUA shares are rolled over to another qualified retirement account such as an IRA, they no longer qualify as NUA shares. To qualify as NUA shares, they must be deposited into a nonqualified account such as a taxable brokerage account. A deposit into a nonqualified account (a taxable brokerage account) is not a rollover. If your Form 1099-R includes both NUA shares that were not rolled over and other funds that were rolled over, you must split the form into two to accommodate TurboTax, one for the NUA shares and another for the portion that was rolled over.

I am having the same issue, but the screens you show in your example are not the screens I see in my screen. Is the online free version different than what you show here?

Anyone? I'm asking because IF TurboTax is using last year's estimates, they are all wrong. I have only a VERY Small job with a W-2, and ONLY had Social Security for one month. So using old numbers to estimate (either using the old W-2, or using only one month of SSA) will be very, very wrong!

I suggest checking the date on the fourth quarter estimated payment to make sure it is a 2025 date if that is when you paid it. The default date for Q4 payments is January 2026, but if you change the date to 2025, the state estimated tax payment should carry to Schedule A (Itemized Deductions).
If you are in TurboTax Desktop, you can go into Forms Mode and check the Tax Payments Worksheet.
I tested using a December 2025 payment date for the fourth quarter estimated state tax payment in TurboTax Online and TurboTax Desktop, and in both cases the fourth quarter payment amount was included on Schedule A.
If you are still having issues after taking theses steps, let us know.

When I go to the menu options to apply my 2025 tax refund to my 2026 taxes, I get a window that says: Hmm, looks like we've hit a snag We recommend you revisit the last topic you were working on to make sure all your info's correct. I am not sure how to proceed. It would be more helpful to get some more detailed information. Thanks!

In my experience no no updates, forms, etc. are ever avaiklable on the date posted, or even the day after. I always wait a week or more after the posted date to try.

The TurboTax online editions can only be used for one tax return per account and User ID. If the account you are trying to access was used by someone else, you need to create a new account with a new User ID for yourself. You can use the same email address for up to 5 User ID's with the online editions.
That was how it worked for last tax season. Apparently TurboTax decided to change the rules and now requires a new email address for every new account.

Yes. Wait until your original return is completely processed and your payment is made. You will not need to amend your Illinois state return.
Because your Backdoor Roth conversion happened in February 2026, you will have a second step to complete when you file your 2026 taxes next year. In January 2027, Vanguard will send you a 1099-R for $7,491.02. You will pay taxes on the $491.02 gain on your 2026 return, but your $7,000 basis will remain tax-free thanks to the 2025 Form 8606 you are amending now.
If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.
You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
Select your product below and follow the instructions.

Go through your itemized deductions again. After navigating, you should reach a page that says.
“Based on what you told us, the Standard Deduction is right for you.” or “Based on what you told us, Itemizing is right for you.”
On this page, you will see a link or button labeled. “Change my deduction.” This is the only place where TurboTax lets you override the automatic choice. Select it.

1. Look in your taskbar at the bottom of your screen to see if another window has opened, then click on it. 2. Is your credit card on file with TurboTax? Did you use it to buy TurboTax? I don't know if this is necessary, but worth a try.
