I'm not a Windows expert but to me that sounds like you have Mode-S on Win 11 which only allows software from the store.  To install Turbotax you need to disable Mode-S which I understand to be a permanent change.   @VolvoGirl @xmasbaby0 @DoninGA 

Forms 4562 attached to Schedule E are currently being updated.    The software should be updated after 02/13/26, but our tech team is working hard to have those updates before that date.    Here, you can sign up for an e-mail to stay current on the updates: Sign up for email notification

No, if you need to prepare the 4562, it is too early to file your taxes.  Forms 4562 attached to Schedule E are currently being updated.    The software should be updated after 02/13/26, but our tech team is working hard to have those updates before that date.    Here, you can sign up for an e-mail to stay current on the updates: Sign up for email notification

You should answer No to the question asking whether the business stopped operating in 2025.  Even though North Carolina administratively dissolved the LLC, the business never stopped operating.    You should file your 2025 return as usual, reporting all income and expenses. Once the reinstatement is approved, it restores the LLC as if the dissolution never happened for state-law purposes. This doesn't change how the IRS treats your tax filing.    

If the SSA-1099SM has your husband's Social Security number on it as the recipient, then you do not report that as part of your tax return.  It would only be reported on a return filed for your husband.     If it was reported to you as income, with your Social Security number on the form, then you would include it with your other box 5 amount already reported to you.     Your question stated that your husband passed away in 2005.  If that was a typo and instead he passed in 2025, then you may be eligible to file a joint return for 2025.  If that is the case, then his SSA-1099SM would be reported as part of that joint return.    

@jmwachter I don't think there is some system-wide issue with import in Turbotax other than browser permission issue, or else this forum would be flooded with people complaining.  Did they say what 'problem' they were working on when you called - and what problem are you actually having?   if you are trying to import and getting success message but no data this seems to be issue with browser permissions (and shitty error handling by Turbotax), see here for potential solution   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-vanguard-brokerage-update-is-available-from-vanguard-but-not-on-turbo-tax/01/3751092#M1392263

If you entered in the My Info/Personal Info section of the program that Georgia was your resident state and that you lived in another state, Florida, you should have entered the date you moved to Georgia.   After completing the Federal tax return and Federal Review you would have to complete the Georgia tax return.  The interview in the Georgia program goes over all the items for completing a part year resident Georgia tax return.  Did you do this?

other had similar issue importing from Vanguard due to browser permissions, see   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-vanguard-brokerage-update-is-available-from-vanguard-but-not-on-turbo-tax/01/3751092#M1392263

people reported the same type of issue from Vanguard there is a permissions issue on the browser (and Turbotax has shitty error handling here), try solution here   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-vanguard-brokerage-update-is-available-from-vanguard-but-not-on-turbo-tax/01/3751092#M1392263

If you received a Form 1099-NEC only as a reimbursement, the net amount you owe should be zero, unless the refund is more than the money you spent.   When entering the information into TurboTax, you must include the income and create an equal offsetting expense. Follow these steps:   Navigate to 1099-NEC: TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to the 1099-NEC screen under Wages & Income. Go to Federal Taxes. Go to Wages & Income.  If asked How do you want to enter…?, select I’ll choose what I work on. Under 1099-MISC and Other Common Income, select Start or Update next to Income from Form 1099-NEC.  

most people having this issue had to change permissions on the browser, see here   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-vanguard-brokerage-update-is-available-from-vanguard-but-not-on-turbo-tax/01/3751092#M1392263

I found that when I go into "Forms" view and navigate to the "Student Info Wk" and scroll down to page 3, all of the line items are listed, including Room and Board.  I'm able to enter my R&B expenses and the program does adjust the Refund amount properly.  HOWEVER, after I close the application (using the desktop version btw) and open it again, TT nullifies that field as if I didn't enter it previously and then shows that I owe taxes. This is a VERY disappointing miss for TT.  Been using the program for well over 25 years and its always been rock solid for me.  If this isn't fixed properly, is could cost us taxpayers - who are only trying to do the right thing - hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary overpaid taxes.
