@user17740383006   You can transfer your return from Online directly to the Desktop installed program. Starting in 2023 there is a new button when you start a new Desktop return. Look for Import from Turbo Tax Online -OR- Continue from Online if you already started a current Online return.  

If you have already addressed all of the areas of your return for which Review asked for more information or corrections, you have checked your Internet connection, and the program is not progressing to the next step, first try the following steps:    Try exiting TurboTax, restarting your device and starting TurboTax again. Try using a different browser. Chrome usually works well. Try clearing your cache and cookies.     If, after completing the steps above, you are still not able to progress past Review, try these additional steps:   Sometimes, if you enter a section and exit it, without making an entry, TurboTax will create a form for the entry that would go with that section, and Review will look for an entry in that form. It could also be that the form was created because of an entry carried over from last year.   If you have blank forms or forms with a "0" that are not needed, such as for W-2G or K-1, you can get out of this by deleting the forms that TurboTax has prepared from your opening the screens that support them.    If you are using TurboTax Online, see this help article and below for the steps to Delete a Form:  Open or continue your return. On Tax Home, select Start, Continue, or Pick up where you left off to enter your return. In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form. (Look for any form or worksheet relating to Medical expenses.) Select Delete next to the form, schedule, and worksheet in the list and follow the instructions. If you are using a Desktop version of TurboTax, you can switch to Forms Mode (click on Forms at the top of the screen when you are in Step-by-Step Mode), review the list of forms on the left, then select the one you wish to delete. When the form displays, click "Delete Form" at the bottom of the screen.    If after trying all of the options mentioned you still have the same problem:    See this help article and this one for instructions on how to contact TurboTax customer support depending on which product you are using.  

Ce n'es pas nécessairement relié.   Ce message apparaît quand il y a une erreur de structure (caractères bizarres comme tréma, lettres au lieu de chiffres, etc) généralement causée par une mauvaise entrée de données. Révisez votre déclaration du début, mais surtout le T2125 au niveau de l'adresse de l'entreprise ou du travailleur autonome.    Utilisez-vous Windows 11? Si oui,  vérifiez les paramètres de la langue. Cliquez sur "Démarrer", puis sur "Panneau de configuration" et sélectionnez "Région et langue". Cliquez sur l'onglet 'Administration', puis sur "Modifier les paramètres régionaux du système" et choisissez "Français(Canada)" en tant que langage courant pour les programmes non Unicode.   Veuillez vous assurer que la case "Beta: utiliser le format Unicode UTF-8 pour prise en charge des langues à l'échelle mondiale" n'est pas cochée.     Si non, le tout devrait se régler jeudi le 2 avril. Merci de votre patience 🙂

For me, Part1 Line 7 yes, Line 8 d (Not applicable) and fill up Part V (not Part VI which might limit the %) can give me 30% tax credit automatically. The only concern is I cannot eFile (due to TT bug) which is really annoying. 

Hi Bill, Thank you for the explanation. I want to be clear about the source of my frustration. When I contacted TurboTax Support directly, none of the representatives provided the information that you and Susan have shared here. Instead, I was told there was no fix and that I would need to use another service to complete my return. That guidance ended up costing me additional time and money. If the Desktop override method is the correct workaround, TurboTax Support should have communicated that upfront. I’m not criticizing the Community contributors—you’ve been far more helpful than the official support channels—but the inconsistent guidance has a real financial impact on users. Thank you again for taking the time to clarify the technical details. Best, Umesh

Since you have TurboTax Desktop, you are able to click on Open Form at the top left to generate the form automatically, by following these steps:   Go to Open Form at the top left corner of your TurboTax screen and type 5329 Select Form 5329-T (or 5329-S, if applicable) On Form 5329-T, scroll down to Line 52a and input the $_ that was your RMD On Line 53a, input zero (0) for the amount of the RMD you took Input the $_ in Box A found just below Line 53b Click Explain just below the $_ Write: "I mistakenly assumed my financial institution was automating my RMD. Upon discovering the error in 2026, I immediately withdrew the full RMD amount of $_. I have now confirmed the automatic withdrawal is set up and have also added a reminder so that this does not happen again."

I have researched further and have a couple of options that may, or may not, help others in this situation.  First the online version of TT apparently allows users to attach a PDF file to their filing with the supplemental 1099 information after submitting subtotals by category in the regular income section.  The PDF attachment is not supported in the desktop version nor can you convert your desktop to an online version to submit with an attachment, but a good option if you are using the online version.  Potentially this is an option on the Premier version as well (under "Tools"), I have not upgraded to test, but this is grayed out in Deluxe. There is an option in the Deluxe version in the income section (to the bottom left of the import section) to upload a TXF file with 1099 data.  The first step is to download your broker statement (with the data not previously imported) in a CSV format (or convert your PDF to a CSV) then convert that file to a TXF file using an online translator.  If you have >=1K lines you need multiple files, see the below link which was informative on this process:   https://www.reddit.com/r/tax/comments/1ray1f8/how_to_convert_1099b_pdf_to_txf_for_uploading_to/ One caveat, perhaps I used an outdated version, and so was required to edit each uploaded line to address whether these were digital assets (Y/N).  Maybe others will be able to address this finer point, but I was willing to do this work versus starting over again. Hope this is helpful.

In TurboTax Online, in the left-side menu, go to Federal > Income > Self Employment Income.  Edit your business (pencil icon), then on the 'Here's your xxx Info' page, Edit 'Home Office.'   A few screens in, you'll get the screen to enter your Home Office size and Total Home size.   @BHancock       

Clearly that is a typo - the box is 17 for an 1120S K1 and 20 for a 1065 K1.  The place to enter the information about line 17 code ZZ is here -     and then once you have entered the information there you continue to the next screen which allows you to enter any other information associated with the box 17 code ZZ amount.      

If your vehicle is used in a Schedule C business, you will enter the vehicle information in the Business Vehicles Expenses section under Business Expenses, rather than in the general Assets section where buildings and other types of assets are entered.   See this TurboTax tips article and this help article for more information.  

The form is there.  But all that shows up is line 1a and 2.     On the associated schedule A, its only has the car data and the date it was bought (August 2025). On line 4, I hit YES and entered the 7500.00 amount, but on the form it only shows the YES and has no amount.   I was expecting somewhere where it compares the 7500 to my tax owed and enters the difference somewhere so I would pay that back.  That is not happening.

@careful_dragonfruit , the availability of Foreign Tax Credit is based on "Double Taxation".  In your particular case, your foreign source income is negative and therefore US tax thereon is zero.  The fact that Canada under its tax laws taxes you does not change the fact that there is NO double taxation.  Thus there is no "foreign tax" to be dealt with here .  Please see  the article XXIV of the  tax treaty and the Technical Explanation thereof --> CANADAWEB.PDF    canatech.pdf and   Technical Explanation, Protocol amending U.S.-Canada Income Tax Convention, signed 21 Sept. 2007   Is there more I can do for you ?
