You have not explained if the child is related to you in any way----we do not know how to interpret  "under my care."    Are you asking about the child tax credit?  Or something else?   IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed: https://www.irs.gov/help/ita/who-can-i-claim-as-a-dependent     WHO CAN I CLAIM AS A DEPENDENT?   You can claim a child, relative, friend, or fiancé (etc.) as a dependent on your 2025 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements: Qualifying child They're related to you. They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students). No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children. They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply). They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year. Qualifying relative They don't have to be related to you (despite the name). They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply). They made less than $5200 in 2025 (not counting Social Security) You provided more than half of their financial support.    

I think you are confused.   What do you mean seeing 1,000 was withheld?   Withholding means deducted from your pay like on a W2 box 2 or from a distribution 1099R box 4.   It doesn’t mean the tax on 1040 line 16 or a tax due on line 37.  We all need to use the same words and terms to know what you are asking or talking about.

Navigate to the HSA Section: Go to Federal > Deductions & Credits > Medical > HSA, MSA Contributions. Go through the screens until you will see a screen titled "Did you use your HSA to pay for anything?" or "Did you receive a 1099-SA?" Even if you didn't spend a dime, you must go through these screens. When you see these questions, you will say no.   After the distribution questions, you will eventually reach a screen with two main boxes:   Box 1: Displays your employer/payroll contributions (automatically pulled from your W-2, Box 12, Code W). This box is locked. Box 2: Titled "Any contributions you personally made (not through your employer)." This is where you enter your manual contributions.

It is over 1 month later and this issue has still not been resolved (a big update was provided this morning without a fix). Is Intuit working on it ? “Wait for a potential fix” is not practical advice … I have used TurboTax for 38+ years, but without anything more firm, I am going to have to change to one of your competitors (eg. H&R Block).

You cannot "attach" documents to an e-filed tax return.    But PA does not tax retirement income.   You should be able to enter your 1099R into the federal software and let the software do its job.  The information flows from the federal return to the state return.   To enter your retirement income, Go to  Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA  401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.
