Which version of TurboTax are you using?   Particularly if using Online, try these basic troubleshooting steps:   Check your internet connection. Hardwired connections work best. 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 you are using Desktop, are you entering the information in the Underpayment Penalty interview? The interview should be completed rather than entering information directly in the form or worksheet.   Form 2210, Underpayment of Estimated Tax, is only filled out by the taxpayer in certain situations: A You request a waiver (see instructions) of your entire penalty. You must check this box and file page 1 of Form 2210, but you aren’t required to figure your penalty.  B You request a waiver (see instructions) of part of your penalty. You must figure your penalty and waiver amount and file Form 2210.  C Your income varied during the year and your penalty is reduced or eliminated when figured using the annualized income installment method. You must figure the penalty using Schedule Al and file Form 2210.  D Your penalty is lower when figured by treating the federal income tax withheld from your income as paid on the dates it was actually withheld, instead of in equal amounts on the payment due dates. You must figure your penalty and file Form 2210.  E You filed or are filing a joint return for either 2024 or 2025, but not for both years, and line 8 above is smaller than line 5 above. You must file page 1 of Form 2210, but you aren’t required to figure your penalty (unless box B, C, or D applies).   See this TurboTax tips article for more information about Form 2210.    

There are some details shown below for the Session Method for reporting gambling activity. It's important to to keep in mind, based on your question, a loss is not going to be allowed for any gambling winnings. The most that can be accomplished, if you can itemize your deductions, is to use a gambling expense to the extent of winnings. This has been indicated in the earlier posts.    The difference with using the Session Method is noted below.   Definition of a Session: A, continuous, and uninterrupted period of play at a single gaming location (e.g., a single casino trip, or a single day of playing the same slot machine). Reporting: Instead of listing every winning spin or hand, a gambler calculates the total gain or loss for that session, and only that net amount is reported. Documentation Required: It is essential to maintain a, detailed diary or log, including date, time, location, machine number, type of game, and net win/loss. Key Advantage: It helps reduce the overall Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), which can decrease the, tax impact on Social Security benefits and prevent higher tax brackets. What it is not: A "session" generally does not span multiple days or multiple casinos, and each type of game (e.g., slot machines vs. poker) can be considered a separate session. Best practices: Maintain a Daily Log: Document every session. Calculate Net Gains: Only list the final result of each session. Use Tax Software: Enter the net winnings, not individual W-2Gs, in TurboTax. Tax Tips Blog for Gamblers IRS Topic 419: Gambling Income and Losses @Kirrena1987

contributions can be back dated to prior tax year before 4/15 but conversions do not, so you would report the contribution on your 2025 taxes and the conversion on your 2026 taxes when you get the 1099-R next year.   in the help article all you need to do is the first step to record the non-deductible contribution   the question about 2025 contribution should come early in the Traditional IRA section so go back through that section.  After that you will get a question whether you had a basis carryover from 2024 which sounds like No for you.  You may be asked to elect how much was non-deductible, unless you don't quality for deductible contributions in which case it will assume it's all non-deductible.   check your Form 8606 outcome it should show $7000 on lines 1 and 14, this basis will carry forward to your 2026 Form 8606 Line 2 when you report the conversion next year.

This is confusing in the way it is worded and how you interpret it. But TurboTax actually uses that question for a different purpose: It’s trying to ask whether any of the listed special situations apply to the asset you just entered. You weren’t misunderstanding anything — the UI is just poorly worded.   The “You can add another asset after selecting Yes” line is meant to reassure you that you won’t lose the chance to add more assets — but it ends up sounding like a requirement, which it isn't.   So you did what any reasonable person would do: You kept answering Yes, thinking that was the only way to continue adding assets. But answering Yes tells TurboTax: “Something special applies to this asset,” which then sends you down the wrong path and hides the sale questions. Instead of selecting yes, select "no" if none of those conditions apply.   Once you are finished reporting that asset you may add another in the asset summary screen. You will taken back to that "special handling" screen and you can select "no" here if there is no special handling required with this asset.        

No, you won't file an amended state return. If you find a mistake on your Property Tax Refund return, amend it by filing Form M1PRX, Amended Homestead Credit Refund.    For details, see Amending a Property Tax Refund. If you want to reply with more information, we may be of further help.

Because you are a sole proprietor, the IRS views you as the employer, not the individual Schedule Cs. Your SEP-IRA contribution limit is calculated based on your total net self-employment income across all businesses.  The deduction itself ends up in the same place on your tax return (Schedule 1, Part II, Line 16.)      

The language in the extension screen within TurboTax is scheduled to be updated after April 15th.    It is quick and easy to file an extension using the alternatives previously shared:   TurboTax Easy Extension (a separate TurboTax website) rather than filing from within your TurboTax product, if you choose.    The IRS also offers these options:   Pay online and check the box Pay what you owe using an online payment option and check the box that you are paying as part of filing for an extension. You don’t have to file a separate extension form and you’ll receive a confirmation number of your extension for your records.   Use Free File (no income limit for extensions) Use IRS Free File to electronically request an automatic tax-filing extension.   Request an extension by mail File Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

Estimate how much tax you owe for the year on the extension form: Subtract the taxes you already paid for the filing year. @GaJa 

Switching from desktop to online is easy.  Here's how.     The cheapest way to handle this is to enter the trades in their stock categories and then mail in a copy of the 1099-B listing the trades to the IRS.  You can still file the return electronically, you just have to mail in a list of all of those little trades.  Here's how to do that.  It's still the easiest way.   @rberghef     

No you should not adjust the cost basis . Usually brokers automatically adjust the cost basis to compensate for the wash sale.  Import 1099-B or enter it manually exactly as reported esp if its coming from a major broker like Morgan Stanley/ J P Morgan/ E*trade/Fidelity etc
