When using TurboTax Online Premium, summaries such as "Why is my refund $xxx" showed W2 withholdings as some value. The value was 1099 withholdings.

I'm retired with no W2 for 2025.

It depends. You can verify this easily.  Once the summary loads, look at the left-hand sidebar again and click Preview my 1040. Scroll down to Line 25:

• Line 25a: Should be $0 (This is for actual W-2 withholding).
• Line 25b: Should show your 1099 withholding (This is for 1099-R, SSA-1099, etc.).

If both boxes are correct after verification, it is reported correctly in TurboTax despite the summary. While it's usually just a labeling issue, you should verify one thing:

Check your "Wages & Income" summary: Ensure you didn't accidentally enter a 1099-R into the W-2 section. If you see an "Employer" listed in your income summary that is actually your financial institution (like Vanguard or Fidelity), you should delete that entry and re-add it under Retirement Plans and Social Security (1099-R).
