If you did not have Form 2210 last year and no underpayment penalty, than you should enter $0 in the "prior year tax" field. If you had an underpayment penalty in 2024, you should enter that amount.   TurboTax calculates your underpayment penalty using Form 2210 based on your current year's information. If you don't file the form, the IRS will calculate it and send you a bill.   See also:   How to Avoid Penalties for Underpayment of Taxes   Why am I getting an underpayment penalty if I'm getting a refund?   What is Form 2210?   Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.

After entering personal information to purchase a second state tax return, I cannot move on to the billing information, because the little blue box (next?) will not display above the tool bar.  How do I complete the purchase so that I can fill out the second return?  Federal and home state returns have been completed and checked as well as saved.

In Pennsylvania, retirement distributions from 401(k) plans and IRAs are generally not taxable at the state level if you have reached age 59½ or full retirement age. If you paid PA state tax on these distributions, you likely overestimated your liability unless specific exceptions applied.  You can file an amended return to make the correction and get your taxes paid refunded.  See How to File an Amended Tax Return with the IRS - TurboTax

In most cases, capital gain distributions are reported on IRS form 1099-DIV box 2a.   As stated correctly above, these are capital gains which are netted against net short-term capital gain or loss and flow to the IRS form 1040 line 7a.

Schedule 1 has 2 Parts   Part I - Additions to Income from Lines 1 - 9 -  the total of all additions is on Line 10 Part II - Adjustments to Income from Lines 11 - 24 - the total of all adjustments is on Line 25.   Part I and Part II are combined on Line 26 - and this is the net number that goes to Form 1040, Line 10

In TurboTax Online, SEP IRA contributions made by your employer, including those you make yourself through self-employment, are treated separately from your personal IRA contributions. You only need to enter SEP IRA contributions related to your self-employment income in the SEP IRA section.   In TurboTax Online, to enter your personal IRA contributions follow these steps: To enter personal IRA contributions: 1. Go to the Federal section. 2. Select Deductions & Credits. 3. Find and open the Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions section. 4. Enter your personal IRA contribution amounts here. To enter SEP IRA contributions (only if you are self-employed): 1. Make sure your self-employment income is entered first. 2. Navigate to the SEP IRA Contributions section by searching for "SEP IRA contributions." 3. Only enter contributions that you made yourself from your self-employment income. 4. Do NOT enter employer SEP IRA contributions here; those are handled automatically and should not be added manually. This way, TurboTax will keep employer SEP contributions separate and not count them against your personal IRA limits.

@JCH10 In another thread, they confirmed that we'll have to mail it in.   From the Form 3468 instructions: If you are an individual and file electronically, you must send in a paper Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return, if attachments are required for Form 3468. Form 8453 doesn't include a checkbox for this situation, I read that they just don't keep it updated and to leave all the boxes unchecked.
