@everhartmj    You need to go back and edit every form where you entered any withholding...and make sure the forms are not double-entered in seem way.   Occasionally, some folks import their tax documents twice...and two forms with the same data doubles the withholding too....of course the incoem is doubled too. ___________ Sometimes, the only way to find the problem, is to go to the Print Center, and save a PDF copy of your tax file ....but with ALLL the backup worksheets.    Then looking at the Tax Payments Worksheet.....that sheet shows the sources of all the tax withholding and other payments you have entered or imported...and can usually point where the extra $$ are coming from, proper or not.

we can't advise on a $ amount becuase this forum knows absolutely nothing about what your tax situation will be in 2026 However, if you don't mind possibly owing a lot come 4/15/2026, but with no underpayment of estimated tax penalties then: through timely estimated tax payments and withholding pay in at least 110% of your 2025 tax. There are other ways to avoid this penalty, but they require knowing what your 2026 tax liability will be. Generally, this is a guesstimate.  estimates are due 4/15/2026,, 6/15/2026, 9/15/2026, and 1/15/2027 state laws vary if you have a state income tax. If you do and provide us the state we can offer guidance.     

Allez vérifier dans le dossier électronique de l'ARC si vous avez un feuillet T5007. Si vous n'en avez pas, remplissez les feuillets comme suit:  pour le fédéral,  T5007 case 10. Ce sera un revenu à la ligne fédérale 14400 et une déduction à la ligne 25000. Donc zéro. Pour le Relevé 5, entrez la case D. Ce sera un revenu à la ligne 148 code 3 SAAQ et une déduction à la ligne 295 Déductions pour certains revenus. Donc zéro.     Merci de choisir TurboImpôt

The charge depends on which edition of TurboTax Online you are using. You didn't say which edition you are using. Only Free Edition is free. If you use another edition you have to pay for the edition you are using, even if the tax return is very simple and could have been filed with Free Edition.

From 2012 through 2024, my tax returns were prepared by a tax professional who consistently and correctly applied a 40-year depreciation period in my federal filings. This year, I am preparing my return using TurboTax and encountered an issue where the software automatically assigns a 27.5-year depreciation period and does not allow me to modify it. The 27.5-year period applies only to U.S. residential rental properties and is not appropriate in my case.

To report Social Security benefits that aren't taxable in TurboTax Online, enter the total amount from box 5 of your SSA-1099 form. You do not need to find or enter anything for line 6b specifically. Here is what to do: 1. Go to the Wages & Income section. 2. Find and start the Social Security benefits section. 3. Enter the amount from box 5, which is your net benefits received. TurboTax automatically calculates how much is taxable, including when none is taxable. Putting 0 in box 5 would be incorrect if you actually received benefits. Instead, enter your box 5 amount as shown.

La forma 4852, se usa para sustituir una Forma W2 o una 1099-R.  Antes de completar una forma 4852 necesitas haber tratado de obtener la forma de la compañía que te debio mandar la forma, de todos modos necesitarás contactarlos porque necesitas tener el nombre, direccion, el EIN (número de identificación de la compañía), el código de distribución, la cantidad que recibiste y el impuesto que fue retenido.     La otra cosa a considerar es que si ya enviaste tu declaración y estas agregando esto después, tendrás que enmendar tu declaracion y esperar a que tu declaración sea procesada por el IRS y por el estado.  Cuando estés listo para hacer tu enmienda sigue los pasos a continuación:    Entra a tu cuenta de TurboTax A lado derecho bajo Preguntas Frecuentes Selecciona Como enmiendo mi declaración? Y Enmendar mi Declaración usando TurboTax Online Para agregar la 1099 sigue los pasos normales de ingresar la forma y en la pregunta de situaciones poco comunes, escoge que no recibiste tu forma, para que TurboTax complete la forma 4852.    Algo más que debes recordar es que tendrás que enviar tu declaración por correo.     ¿Dónde ingreso mi Formulario 1099-R? ¿Cómo enmiendo mi declaración de impuestos federales de este año?

TurboTax recommends itemizing deductions when the total of your deductible expenses entered is higher than the standard deduction for your filing status. It automatically compares both options to find the best tax benefit. Even if none of the typical reasons to itemize apply, small deductible expenses like state and local taxes, mortgage interest, or charitable donations might add up to exceed the standard deduction. You can review your entered expenses in the Deductions & Credits section. If you believe itemizing is not beneficial, you can manually switch to the standard deduction in TurboTax Online by going to the Deductions section and selecting Change my deduction.

I already entered Sales Section Total values in the Box A-E and figured the wash sales info would be requested in that part of TT interview.  They were not.  How can I get to the box and mark "I need to adjust my total cost basis" and enter Wash Sales?  I strongly prefer to not start at the beginning of this section yet again. I'm a 10+ yr veteran of TT and, after a few years of continuous improvements, this TY 2025 process flow for entries is less efficient and user-friendly for non-tax pros than previous TYs.   TIA for help.

Hello!   I have a similar situation to user[phone number removed].    I have been struggling with Turbo Tax online for tax year 2025 on how to enter my corrective distribution without the evidence of it in a tax form (that is, a 1099-SA). I've been through the 1095-SA sections multiple times.   In my case the overfunding was against the family contribution limit in 2025, which I corrected with a distribution from my HSA to my checking account a week or so ago. My spouse and I didn't overfund our individual accounts. My HSA provider informed me that my 2026 1095-SA will include this distribution when generated in 2027. Does Turbo Tax automatically count this overfunded amount as taxable income? Also, do I wait until I do my 2026 tax return to prove this corrective distribution was handled in a timely fashion to avoid any penalty? The only proof I have is a direct deposit advice receipt documenting the corrective amount. I have struggle to find where to enter this corrective distribution in the guided entry of Turbo Tax online, using help and the embedded AI to no avail.
