Thanks for the ideas. I tried them again, but unfortunately I still seem to have a Form 2555T for 2025 for foreign income that needs review, even though I have not added it, and have said I did not have any foreign income this year.  This form does not seem to have been added, nor is it available anywhere.  How can I delete it? Thank you

This issue will be resolved in a program update on 3/27/26.   On or after that date, please make sure you have the latest updates and walk through the Oregon section again.      Updates in TurboTax Online are automatic.      If you are using TurboTax Desktop, please follow these steps:  Log-in to TurboTax Desktop  Select Online from the top left bar menu Choose Check for Updates Choose Ok @17723267060  @67488 

No. It is not a software bug. The earnings are legally taxable on your 2025 return, even though you will not receive a Form 1099-R until next year. To report excess earnings on the contribution in 2025, enter the Form 1099-R you will be receiving next year as if you had it now.   Go to Wages & Income on the left panel within your TurboTax account Click on the +Add more income box Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security and click the down arrow to expand Click Start to the right of IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) Click on +Add a 1099-R, select the Change how I enter my form box On the next screen, you can select Type it in myself, or other options, then Continue Select the box on the top left for Financial institution or other provider (1099-R), then Continue Enter the provider's information, then Continue Enter the details from your Form 1099-R  In Box 1 enter the total distribution, plus earnings,  In Box 2a enter the earnings Choose Distribution Code J in first Box 7, then check the, "I have more than one value in Box 7" box Enter Code P for second Box 7, then Continue Select No for "Is the IRA/SEP/Simple box checked?", then Continue Select 2026 for, What year is on your 1099-R?", then Continue, answering the questions as you go  When you reach, "These situations may lower your tax bill"  Enter earnings in the Corrective distributions made before the due date of return box, which is near the bottom Note: When you receive your Form 1099-R next year, you can ignore it, unless there is Box 4 Federal Tax withheld. If that is the case, you will need to enter the Form 1099-R to report that withholding.

Of course Intuit knows what software I've purchased.  I can see all the purchased versions when I log into my Intuit account.  Even if some people may have to use the online version this year because of Win 11, the turbotax website should ASK whether you want to file online and route you to the proper place if you don't.  Don't immediately herd everyone into online filing.  Even if they didn't ask, they could put a link on the page that says "If you're using the desktop version, click HERE."  I honestly spent 10 minutes going around in circles until I went to a search engine and searched for turbotax community.  And the two websites ARE related, because when I got to the turbotax community page, I was already logged in!

Correct, the tax data that is imported from a PDF is very basic, it will be personal information, some income forms, and carryovers.     Can I transfer last year's PDF into TurboTax Desktop 2025? How do I transfer last year's return into TurboTax Online? @ambonito   

There’s no way Turbo Tax would or should know that.   They are not allowed to see or use your personal info or account info especially if you used the Desktop program.   And a lot of people have to switch to Online this year since you need Windows 11 or Mac OS 14 to install the Desktop program.   

Funny that Turbo Tax takes the position that its just a warning and leaves it to the user to figure it out.  I dont know about others but i could not figure it out. If i could i would be do taxes for others for a living.  I just ended up ignoring it and submitted my taxes.  For what its worth the error message made no sense to my situation.  

Check your 2023 tax return Form 4562 for the business % you entered for the vehicle in that first year - the amount of depreciation will be limited to the business % you reported. You may be able to see your total allowable cost for depreciation by checking Part I - "(b) Cost (business use only)" of Form 4562 for the vehicle's details. If you said that it would be used 50% in business, and the rest personal, then only roughly $34,080 * .5 = $17,040 would be allowed in yearly depreciation and Sec. 179 expense combined.   To print a copy of your 2023 tax return:   To see or print a PDF of your tax return, select your product and follow the instructions.
