If you are using the desktop (CD/Download) Turbotax software and are using the Deluxe or Premium version the Federal Taxes tab is located to the right of the Personal Info tab at the top of the screen. If you are in the Home & Business version it is located under the Personal tab at the top of the screen.

In desktop Home and Business there is no Federal tax tab. Use the PERSONAL tab instead.

Click on PERSONAL tab.

Then subtab OTHER TAX SITUATIONS.

Scroll down to "Other Return Info."
Then "Identity Protection PIN."

I have Turbotax 2019 Home & Business Desktop. There is no Federal Taxes tab. I've looked through every item under PERSONAL. Not there.

@AllenJackArmstrong

Read the post from @mesquitebean above yours again.....

IN H&B...there is just a PERSONAL tab alone...there is nothing called "Federal" as a separate tab.

They do that in H&B to distinguish the mass of your Self-employment Business data entries, as being separate from your regular "Personal" tax data entries.

(of course...it''s all federal..except for the State section.

I have Turbo Tax 2019 desktop Home & Business. I need to use federal tax tab to report an excess contribution of my 2019 Tax Return without a Form 1099-R. Can you tell me where I can find this federal tax tab? I searched all items on the screen but could not find it.

To report a taxable excess contribution to your retirement plan on your 2019 tax return in TurboTax Home and Business, try these instructions:

Click on Personal, then Personal Income in the top menu, then I will choose what I want to work on.
Under Your 2019 Income Summary, scroll down to Less Common Income
Select Miscellaneous Income and click Start
Select Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099 and click on Start
Click through the questions till you get to Other Earned Income
Answer Yes to Did you receive any other wages?
Click through the screens until you come to Enter Source of Other Earned Income
Indicate Other as Source of Other Earned Income and click Continue
For the description enter "2018 Excess Deferrals" and click on Done

This is the exact answer I needed. All the other answers didn't work.
