@jskiba    If using desktop software, run this morning's overnight update  (1 Feb) Don't know if it's working Online yet..maybe already there, maybe by tommorrow _______________________ OK!!!!, this morning's update  (1 February) "seems" to have fixed it....(at least for the Desktop software) And a weekend update is unusual. BUT  You may have to go thru the entries again if you haven't entered addresses yet for certain charities.   But look closely, I have no idea if it covers all of your situation.

I'm curious how you were able to make manual changes?  I'm in the same boat, I keep trying to "fix" the problem (just tried again this morning since it's after "January 31" but obviously nothing is working.  This may be the last year I use TT as well.  Kind of sad because I've used the program for many years but I guess that's they way it goes.  

Same here - I am trying to verify the form before I e-file because I don't want to get rejected again.  I download with IRS Attachments and don't see the form. Is that the proper way to see if the form will be attached?

No, work related expenses are not deductible if you are a W2 employee.  For 2025, most W-2 employees cannot deduct unreimbursed travel expenses on their federal tax returns. Some state allow a state income tax deduction, but Wisconsin does not, so you are not able to deduct the expenses.  See Are Unreimbursed Employee Expenses Deductible? - TurboTax for more information.

Thank you for the response. I meant to write net income in my post, not gross. The net is what was used in my calculation for the allowed 40K amount. However, I may need to go through the Turbotax questions and answers instead of jumping right into the SEP contribution section. I will try this and post if it works. 

In TurboTax Online, IRS form 1099-MISC box 3 Other Income may be entered as follows:    2025   Down the left side of the screen, click Federal. Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income. Click the down arrow to the right of Other Common Income. Click the right of Form 1099-MISC. At the screen Did you get a 1099-MISC, click Yes. At the screen Let's enter the income from your 1099-MISC, enter the information.  Click Continue. At the screen Describe the reason, enter the reason.  Click Continue. At the screen Do one of these uncommon situations apply, select the situation. If you select None of these apply, click Continue. At the screen Did the xxx involve work, select No, it didn't involve work.  Click Continue. At the screen How often, select Got it in 2025.  Click Continue. At the screen Did xxx involve an intent to earn money?, click No. The income should be reported on line 8 of the IRS form 1040 and line 8z of the Schedule 1 Form 1040.   In TurboTax Online, you may print or view your full tax returns prior to filing after you have paid for the software.   View the entries down the left side of the screen at Tax Tools. Select Print Center. Select Print, save or preview this year's return.

TurboTax Home & Business 2025 Desktop.  My husband and I each have a 1099-Div from Computershare/Verizon. I can import one but when I import the 2nd one it removes the first one. I get a dialog box that says "Ready to import your documents? First, we'll remove your old data from this account to ensure your return is accurate." My options are "Remove and Import" or "Cancel".    I believe this is a bug.

@AnnetteB6 did you see the other thread provided above about rounding, there have been many issues reported here for 8959, see also below   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/i-do-not-even-come-close-to-meeting-income-threshold-and-they-want-me-to-do-for-8959/00/3740727   @DoninGA 

To remove Schedule H, Household Employment Taxes from your tax return, go to Other Tax Situations>Nanny and Household Employee Tax   In that section you can answer No to the question Did you pay someone to work in your home on 2025? if this section does not apply to you.   Here is information on Schedule H for further reference.

How long ago was your e-file accepted?     You may need to be more patient with a system that is overwhelmed, and give some more time for the IRS to begin processing the millions of returns they have just begun to accept.   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/    Sometimes people get confused by the “summary” given by TurboTax and use the wrong amount for the federal refund.  Make sure you are only using the federal refund amount, and not an amount that combined your federal and state refunds.     Your federal refund amount is on line 35a of your Form 1040   https://www.irs.gov/refunds   https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

If you are using TurboTax Desktop and want to see a breakdown of the tax owe or refund due to each you,follow the instructions in this article:   Open your return and select Forms. Select Open Form, enter What-If Worksheet (it may appear as What-If Wks), and select Open Form. Select the MFJ vs. MFS box. Scroll down to Balance Due (Refund) located under Line 72. The second column shows the federal outcome for a joint return, and the third and fourth columns show the outcome for the taxpayer and spouse if filing separately. Negative numbers are refunds and positive numbers are taxes due. @scottamber12
