Thanks for the clarity, Now that it's getting clear that I have to file the tax on his behalf, the following questions came up: 1. What is the form for filing his taxes(1040...?XXX) 2.

I already entered the correct information in the "State estimated taxes for 2025" section and filed. And received a letter from the Georgia Department of Labor stating that they have no record of me paying the estimated taxes. That's because the company paid them, but I can't figure out how to amend my state return to show that the company paid them.

it depends. You must report the highest balance each individual account reached at any point during the year, even if funds were transferred between accounts, causing double-counting.

Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:
Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu.
Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website.
Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms.
Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit."
Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.
Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.
