It's mid January and I STILL can't input my 1099-R information. What is the point of selling software that is UNUSABLE other than stealing consumers' money and providing garbage in return? How can I get my money back from you criminals? This is the last year I use your crap software.

If you are using the TurboTax 2025 desktop editions, just go to Forms mode, click on Open Form at the top left of the Forms mode screen. Type in 1099-R. Click on the result and enter the Form 1099-R information on the form.

If you are using the TurboTax 2025 online editions, how did you pay for the online edition since the tax return was not even completed? You are only asked to pay after you finish the return and are in the File section of the program.

Thanks for the info, but I want the software to work the way it is supposed to and I shouldn't have to go into "form mode" to do my taxes using this junk software. Isn't that reasonable? And to answer your question, I am using the desktop version I bought through Amazon. Any idea when that's going to work as advertised? Thanks.

@user17684268320 The section for entering a Form 1099-R is estimated to be available on 01/21/2026.

You guys know that there is a FREE version of the software right?? Why pay for it?

And as far as why it's taking so long, it's a government issue. The forms aren't available for input on TurboTax because there were a lot of added tax breaks and other policy changes and that all has to be updated as tax season starts. It's definitely frustrating because I like to file my taxes as early as possible, but this is above TurboTax's pay grade unfortunately.

Also the IRS isn't "accepting returns" until the 25th I believe, which may also be part of the problem. I've never seen this language used before the current administration though. Do with that what you will lol

Not sure re the meaning of that statement but the IRS officially opens the tax filing season each year, typically in late January without regard to a particular administration.

Wow, maybe some people need to just take a deep breath and chill a bit. The IRS is not even accepting returns yet. Companies are not required to send "final" forms until Jan 31, so anything you do "now" is subject to being wrong.

If you just like to whine, this post is probably going to make you even more anxious, but I thought I would try.

Peace be with you.

Thank you for your post and with you also. 🙂

Well it's Jan 21 and it's not available. H&R Block has it -- everyone should switch. I mean the excuse that it's the tax legislation -- BS -- it's a screen to input 1099-R income. Get it together folks.
