You can post  your questions here in this forum or How to contact Turbo Tax https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-contact-turbotax/00/26991   They don't publish the phone numbers.  And don't use email.  That link is the only way.  

If it won't let you switch to mail your return, see step 5. You might need to pay the fees first. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online/01/26258 How to switch from Efile to Mailing your return https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/print-and-file/help/how-do-i-switch-from-e-file-to-file-by-mail-in-turbotax-online/00/26314   How to review your fees https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/charges-and-fees/help/how-do-i-review-my-fees-in-turbotax-online/00/26353    

Almost had this happen to me as well.  I guess Turbo Tax is trying to scam people now! I couldn’t figure out how to remove the online expert for through the app. I found the only option is to login through the website and from there you can go to the tools page and select switch product, then you can downgrade to the free version from there.  What a scam! 

If Turbo Tax thinks you need to pay estimated payments it will download and print out the 4 quarterly 1040ES payment slips (which are optional to pay).   You can either mail in the 1040ES slip with a check or pay the IRS directly online.       Print out  your tax return,   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/saving/help/how-do-i-save-my-turbotax-online-return-as-a-pdf/00/26234   The four 1040ES quarterly estimates are due April 15, 2026 June 15, 2026 Sept 15, 2026 Jan 15, 2027 Your state will also have their own estimate forms.  

This has been an issue in TurboTax for years. This is how I've accounted for the Safe Harbor and it allows you to explain the additional amount to your state income tax listed on box 5a of Form 1040, Schedule A. 1. Go to forms. 2. Select: State Tax Ded (worksheet) 3. On Line 17: Other Override description and enter "Charitable Contributions made in exchange for State Tax Credit (SALT Safe Harbor) Override box 17 and enter the SALT Safe Harbor amount you are claimi        

To go back to a lower version or the Free Edition you can try to clear and start over https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-clear-and-start-over-in-turbotax-online/00/26444 To Downgrade to Free If you started your tax return in TurboTax Free Edition (Form 1040 with limited credits; roughly 37% of taxpayers qualify), you won't need to clear and start over. You can select Switch to Free Edition instead. In the Turbo Tax Free Edition, information that you can enter is limited now.  Why do I have to upgrade from the Free Edition? https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/upgrading/help/why-do-i-have-to-upgrade-from-free-edition/00/26379 Or try the IRS Free File program https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free A couple reasons it could be saying you need to upgrade…. You might be seeing this because of form 8959, that goes to Schedule 2. The amount of Medicare taxes withheld in W2 box 6 is not exactly 1.45% of the Medicare wages in box 5, due to rounding. I read a post that said to try leaving the cents off of the Medicare tax on your W2 box 6. Box 6 has to be exactly 1.45% of box 5 or less. If it is saying you need Schedule 3 and can't use the Free Edition it might be giving you the Retirement Savings Credit. You can say you are a student to decline the credit. You must answer Yes when asked in the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit section if your were a full-time student. The answer to this same question asked in the personal-information section is not the answer that is used.
