I was able to resolve this with telephone support.  Go back to your state tax return, click on edit, under Business and Investment Credits REVISIT the Pass-Through Entity Elective Tax Payment Credit.  Here you can remove the zero and leave the field blank.

None of the factors for using "0" as the AGI apply to us. We have filed every year for years using TurboTax as "married filing jointly" and have never filed late. Should we use "0" anyway? For both of us or just her?   Would having a VPN turned on my windows pc have anything to do with it? I don't see why it would but I'm not leaving anything out.    Edit & Correction: I put 2025 AGI above but I'm filing a 2025 1040SR, therefore I submitted the 2024 AGI. 

Are you referring to the new $24,000 Wisconsin Retirement Income Subtraction?  Or are you referring to something else?  Please clarify.   If this is what you are referring to, you will have to amend your Wisconsin 2025 income tax return to claim the Subtraction.   If you used TurboTax Online, log in to your account and select Amend a return that was filed and accepted.   See also this TurboTax Help. Wisconsin website states:   Retirement Income Subtraction    Wisconsin has two potential subtractions for taxable distributions from qualified retirement plans and individual retirement accounts.    1) Up to $24,000 ($48,000 for certain joint filers) of qualified retirement income may be subtracted from Wisconsin income if you (or your spouse if married filing joint return) were age 67 or older on December 31, 2025. Taxpayers claiming this subtraction on their 2025 Wisconsin income tax return may not claim any Wisconsin income tax credit in computing their refund or balance due for the year.   In TurboTax, in the Wisconsin state income tax return, at the screen Wisconsin Retirement Income Subtraction (Credit Restricted), select Yes.

If your Tax Return was rejected due to missing IP PIN, it is because the IRS issued an Identity Protection PIN to you. In order to file electronically, you will need this PIN.    You should have received a letter from the IRS with the PIN included. If you didn't receive the letter, you can create an account on the IRS website (if you don't have one) to retrieve it. See the link below: Get an identity protection PIN (IP PIN)   Then, follow the instructions on the link below to see how to fix the rejection: How do I fix e-file reject IND-181-01?  

Also, TT tech team please note, the zip code doesn't update when you initially change it. It seems to store the OLD zip code. You have to click back into the "edit" field TWICE to change the zip code. Please fix, thank you.

I think you are referring to the screen that says Do any of these uncommon situations apply? where there are six states listed that handle certain types of interest different that most. If you continue on to the next screen you will see where you can pick your state or states per the options "I earned tax exempt interest in only one state" and also "I earned tax exempt interest in more than one state." That is on the screen that says Tell us more about your tax-exempt interest. You can enter the interest by state there.

To automatically upload your business expenses to TurboTax, you can use the TurboTax Expense Monitor. Here’s how you can do it: Connect Your Financial Accounts: Link your bank accounts and credit cards to TurboTax. This allows TurboTax to import your transactions directly. Categorize Transactions: Once your transactions are imported, you can categorize them as business, personal, or split expenses. Import to TurboTax: At tax time, you can import these categorized expenses into your TurboTax return. You can get started with the TurboTax Expense Monitor here.   Important points: You can use the TurboTax Expense Monitor at the end of the year to import your business expenses. However, it's designed to be most effective when used throughout the year.  By regularly connecting your financial accounts and categorizing transactions, you ensure that all expenses are accurately tracked and categorized, which can save you time and reduce errors at tax time1. If you  use it only at the end of the year, make sure to review and categorize all your transactions carefully before importing them into TurboTax.

The most accessible link to this information is IRS Publication 502 (Medical and Dental Expenses). Under the section titled "Insurance Premiums," it explicitly lists which Medicare premiums are deductible. You will find this in a section titled "What Medical Expenses are Deductible."

Yes, as Mike9241 previously posted, Sections J, K, and L are provided for your information and are not used by the software. However, you may need this information to track your "outside" basis, which may be different from the basis reported by the investment on Schedule K-1.   Assuming you are entering Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) Box 20, the information from Code ZZ is left for the taxpayer to manually enter on appropriate tax forms (as needed), how you enter these codes/amounts will have no effect on your tax return. In most cases, you can omit Code ZZ (and amounts) entirely. TurboTax will not use entries you do make for Code ZZ.   Additional Information: IRS Worksheet for Adjusting the Basis of a Partner's Interest in the Partnership IRS Pub 541 Partners Adjusted Basis

What amount are you using for the refund when you use the IRS refund site?  Are you using the amount from line 35a of your federal Form 1040?   You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr  

No, you do not have to tell your HSA custodian that you are doing this. But you do need to document what you did in case anyone ever asks.   Earnings in the HSA become part of the tax-free distribution in the normal course of things - that is, you are paying for medical expenses not only with the contributions you have made but also with any earnings that have been added to the account.   This being the case, so long as you can document that you spent the entire distribution (return of excess contributions and earnings), you will be in a good position to argue that you lived up to the intent of the program. It's not exact (because withdrawals for reimbursements of prior expenses is normally done on a "normal" distribution, not a withdrawal of excess contributions), but the net effect on your taxes will be the same. You just need to document what you did and why.

Yes, she can still qualify as your dependent for 2025. The IRS allows a child to be a qualifying child if they were a full-time student for at least part of 5 months during the year and under age 24.   As long as she lived with you more than half the year and you provided over half of her support, you can claim her for 2025.
