Entering treasury direct 1099-int but it doesn't show when i click done

[MP90]

how can i get this to get accepted? i manually enter the information in box 3, click next, then click "none of these apply to me" then i click done and the screen doesn't add it... what am i doing wrong?

If you entered interest received in box 3 of the Form 1099-INT it will be on your Form 1040 Line 2b as taxable interest.

will i have to wait until i complete the entire tax return until i will be able to see that it was added? i see my other banks and brokerages listed with the taxable amounts after i added them...

If you are using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions, click on Forms.  Then open the Form 1040 on the left side of the screen.

If you are using the TurboTax online web-based editions -

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

im in the desktop download and i got to the preview. the 1099int was not added... i suppose that i could manually write it in on the 1040 rather than using the wizard?

Look at your tax return, Form 1040 Line 2b.  What is entered on Line 2b?

Still, something sounds fishy..

Windows or MAC software?

I have no issues adding a 1099-INT from the US Treasury manually  (i.e. it can't be imported), and it shows up right away using my Windows Premier software.

Still, using the Download software you should be able to see it there in Forms Mode.

Don't wait until after filing. Get it right the first time.

no, it was not entered on the 1040... 2b lists all of my banks/investments added up but not my treasury...

i am running Windows 11

You have the Desktop program installed right?  Switch to Forms mode, click Forms in the upper right and open Schedule B.  And see if there is a 1099 form listed for it in the left column.  Look around.  Sounds like it wasn't entered.  Enter it again.

And make sure you've given it a Payer's Name you will recognize for when you check the Forms Mode listings...Like "US Treasury"....just in case it shows up in some strange spot.

so here's what i've done... i tried to enter it using the "import from bank or brokerage". no dice. then i went to the "i'll type it myself" button, i typed "US Treasury" into the "received from" box and then added the total from the 1099-int into box 3. i clicked "continue" then selected "none of these apply" and hit continue. clicked that i don't have any other accounts to add and finally clicked done. i've done this probably 10 times (including now as i'm writing this) to no avail... still says the same amount in the 2b and its not showing in the breakdown when i click the magnifying glass icon..  i have no clue what i'm doing wrong... the software was acting up when i was inputting my HSA information but i got it to work after backing up to the start of that section 3 times doing the same things each time...

Something is screwed up with your software......fixing it?

Two things to try

1)  Easiest...shut down TTX, then download and run the "Manual Update".  (it takes longer than expected to install once you start it)...........  

Manually Update TurboTax for Windows Software (intuit.com)

_______________________

Tougher route
2) Uninstall TTX entirely, then download a NEW TTX installation file and install that. The newest installation files contain many of the most recent bug fixes....you might still have to run an internal update once that has started though, as the installation file may be a step or two behind.....and you need to start a fake dummy-file to re-install any state software before you open your current tax file.

i'll run the manual update and give it another go... i just downloaded the software 3 days or so ago... if that doesn't work, ill try reinstalling it.  i'll let you guys know how it goes either way.

[MP90]

okay! running the update worked! such a pain in the a$$...  thank you guys for all of your help!
