how to sign turbo tax return 2025

[LeticiaF1]

Your signature for an electronic tax returns in TurboTax is your prior-year Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) or a self-select PIN. To enter this in your return:

1. Open your return
2. Select the File tab
3. Continue until you reach the screen that says To continue, select options below
4. Enter your corrected AGI in Enter last year's AGI here
5. Select Continue and follow the screens until you've re-transmitted your return

If you need to find your last year's AGI, see the TurboTax help article below:

How do I find last year's AGI?

@h2o-color   Is it trying to charge  you?  You may have u pgraded to a paid version.  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-onli...

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?

Or try the IRS Free File program

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.
