Seriously....the forms will be ready "after" Feb. 13.  After?  May 35th?  June 99th?  Do you really think it helps people when they ask reasonable questions and express legitimate frustrations to treat them like they are children?    After??

yeah i'm in the same boat. First i was told that it's ready and that i should clear my cookies and cache. After wasting a morning doing that, i called and an agent made me wait 30mins before declaring that it will be fixed by Feb 11th if not sooner.  And of course, today is Feb 11 and it's still not working. From the comment here, it looks like it's now Friday 13th before it's ready. Don't hold your breath, this seems to be a moving target. Not cool. 

You can use "Other-not classified" .  For the most part, box 14 is informational only, and does not directly affect your return.  Although in some cases it can, like with the No Tax on Overtime.  This is where you enter it to trigger the OT questions in TurboTax.    The best thing to do is to ask your employer what it is for.  It could be pretax health benefits, but only they would know for sure.   

Thank you so much for this new information and for being so helpful with this whole issue. I re-filed once again right after I received your message yesterday. I did not get any type of notification -- no text, no e-mail, no nothing. However, I signed in again this morning and it says that my state return was accepted yesterday 2/10. So hopefully third time was a charm. Thank you again!

No.   Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099  under Federal Taxes Wages and Income Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security Then the second line - Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit  button   Up to 85% of Social Security becomes taxable when all your other income plus 1/2 your social security, reaches: Married Filing Jointly: $32,000 Single or head of household: $25,000 Married Filing Separately: 0

No, a Form SSA-1099 cannot be imported.  You have to enter the information manually.   To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099 Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business) Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security On Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099), click the start or update button

I believe the deduction is there.  It is based on your date of birth in My Info   You will only see the base Standard or Itemized deduction on ‌line 12e of your tax return. However, the Senior Deduction is reflected on line 13b . 13b may have other deductions included.  

We have tested Schedule F entries in TurboTax Online Premier but are unable to reproduce the experience you have seen. It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2025" file that is experiencing this issue.   You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information.  If you would like to do this, please follow these instructions:    In TurboTax Online, open your return, go to the black panel on the left side of your program and select Tax Tools.  Then select Tools below Tax Tools. A window will pop up which says Tools Center. On this screen, select Share my file with Agent. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number. You may wish to snap a screenshot to post instead of the actual number. Reply to this thread with your Token number (including the dash) and tag (@) the Expert requesting the token from you. Please include any States that are part of your return - this is VERY important. We will then test to see the experience you are having. If we are able to determine the cause, we'll reply here and provide you with a possible resolution. 

@HelpMeLawd wrote: @turbotax are you going to chime in? The payer should be using a W-2G.  That's where the mess is coming from.  What you are asking is (if I may reframe the question), "How will turbotax protect me if the IRS asks questions because the casino used the wrong form?"  You're putting the emphasis on the wrong party.   

The Form 1040-X for amending a 2025 federal tax return is estimated to be available in TurboTax on 02/19/2026   You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return. If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again. If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

A week ago I learned that I would not be able to complete my 2025 return because the Depreciation and Amortization section was not ready.  I called twice to "tax experts" who told me there was no information about the date the form would be ready.  Monday, I nice gentleman with TurboTax put me on hold and learned that the form would be ready today, Feb. 11.  Today I tried to complete my return only to see the same message...not available.  I called again and was told that the form was ready, but when I led the gentleman through my form, he learned, as did I, that was not true. He inquired as did the man on Monday and was told "soon...maybe a week".  So, I have been told by TurboTax the following:  Not available, Not available, Available 2/11; available, Not available, and finally, available soon...maybe a week or so.  Disgusting.  Amateurish.  Not ready for prime time.  Maybe someone needs to work overtime, or perhaps stop using AI and go back to using humans to update their software.  All I get is lies, and it's not the fault of the nice people who answer my calls....it's the fault of management trying to save money to make their bonuses and stock options make them richer.  Ridiculous....it's not like tax law legislation was passed last week.

On the 1099-R for your Roth IRA withdrawal, what code are you seeing in Box 7?  If it is a code Q, the withdrawal from the IRA would  not be appearing on your NJ return.  If it is a code T or J, it will be taxable in NJ.  If those two codes are what are appearing and you feel that you would qualify as having it be considered qualifying distribution as a code Q for meeting the 5 year rule and being over 59.5 years old, you should consult with the custodian of the IRA that issued that 1099-R and have them reissue it with a code Q in box 7.
