Unfortunately, that didnot work. I have filed the tax for now.  😐

This version of Turbo Tax Premium is below standard, and we do not know until we start doing our taxes. Shame on you. 1. Poorly designed GUI (Cannot see a tab on where my forms are) 2. No free state filing with Primum version 3. We chose the $60 for live help, two hours and a half hours ago, supposed to call back in one hour. FAIL 4. Keep "Asking me for payments, and saving credit card information each time", yet I still must submit it again and again. First for Live help (That was off at lunch) and to pay for my only State filing fee. 5. First level help was poorly trained, she tried her best, but did not know. She kept having to ask questions via keyboard to her supervisor on how to view: Forms/ occupation.  My phone battery was failing after 1.2 hours, I politely said thank you and good bye. 6. I was instructed to close out my Turbo Tax session to install Google Chrome the only browser that apparently works with Windows 11.  Windows 11 is also failing in the customers eyes, more than 50% of large firms have begun using Linux in 2025.   So Turbo Tax will only be serving the AOL Crowd next year. (80 year old patrons who cannot change) * Good luck to Intuit Turbo Tax employees in their new venture delivering packages for Amazon and Temu.

Per Fidelity my contribution for 2025 was $8,000 but I converted $16,025.88. I believe the additional $8,025.88 was previously contributed money which had not been invested. There was $25.88 of interest on the money that was previously contributed by not invested.  My understanding is there's no limit on the amount you can convert to a Roth, just a limit on your contributions which is $8,000 for me. The software is saying I have an excess contribution and I need to invest the excess from my traditional IRA or I will receive a tax penalty.  I don't have any money in my traditional IRA.  It was all rolled over from the Traditional IRA and then converted to the Roth so I'm confused and I think this is wrong. Do you agree?  For purposes of the backdoor conversion, I'm only answering that I contributed to a traditional IRA for 2025, not a Roth IRA on the "Tell us about your IRAs" screen.  I hope that's correct.

TurboTax Online should automatically handle excess Medicare tax (0.9% Additional Medicare Tax) by generating Form 8959 based on your W-2 entries. It reconciles taxes already withheld with your actual liability.   If you haven't already, you can preview your return in TurboTax Online to see how the program calculated your taxes from your entries. Detailed calculation information in TurboTax Online can be found by navigating to Tax Tools > Tools > View Tax Summary > Preview My 1040. You would need to have paid for your TurboTax product in order to see all of the worksheets.   If TurboTax did not reconcile the withholding and excess tax  correctly, try deleting the Form 8959 and the W-2, logging out of TurboTax, restarting your device, Clear cache and cookies , and then entering the W-2 again to see if the Form 8959 populates correctly.

Thanks for that clarification. It appears box 20 code b does not flow through however box 13 code L (same amount as box 20 code b)does flow to schedule A misc deductions worksheet line 28 which flows to schedule A line 16 still improperly taking the deduction.

I wonder if Twitter would be more effective? Before I deleted my account (when Musk took it over) companies were pretty responsive there.
Basically I'm trying to edit Schedule C Box 32 but cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it!

I tried H&R and maybe I made some mistake that I NEVER made with TT - said I owed $5,000+ instead of getting about $300+ back like last year.  I took my taxes to a well-respected Pro and she did my taxes for $150 and I am getting $700 back.   I am done with TT and H&R.

No, withdrawals that cover eligible qualified expenses such as room and board along with tuition and fees are not taxable and should not be entered.  If you entered the 1099-Q, you must enter the 1098-T and other eligible expenses to remove the tax consequences. If you filed showing a $7k refund but now see the IRS has adjusted it to $3k, you will need to wait for a letter or go online to your account to see the letter and learn what has happened.   IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education states that nontaxable distributions should not be entered.
