1099-R was NOT ready on January 21, 2026

1099R is now available in the desktop s/w update this morning

Much of the 2025 TurboTax program is available for entry of tax data. What exactly are you trying to enter?

I am trying to enter 1099-R and all I get is available soon, so when is this going to be done?

Hello. I've reached out to TT three times to get some items fixed.

1. Dependent is still not showing as dependent despite it saying good news you qualify for a tax break. Rep said no idea why it is not showing and to wait for update which should have been today, but which didn't come. This is a SOFTWARE ERROR.

2. Cannot efile 1099 NEC report. Again, rep said it is a browser problem (NO, it is a TT problem!) As other returns show efile option.

3. Also TT said payments to attorney's over $10 must be reported on 1099 NEC, but IRS says payments must be over $600.

4. Today, filing day, TT update STILL not available.

#1 We need more info on your dependent. Where is it not showing up? On the first page of the 1040? What boxes are checked for them under Dependents? Maybe they don’t qualify for the EIC or Child Tax Credit or the Additional Credit? What’s their age and did they have any income?

There are a couple questions you could have answered wrong under My Info. Click on My Info then click Edit by Dependents, then click Edit by their name and go though all the screens again. First of all check their date of birth. Also you need to enter a ssn for them. And say their ssn is valid for employment.

#2 Efile 1099NEC. Are you using the Desktop Windows program? If you use the Desktop Create Forms you can only print and mail the 1099NEC and 1096.

#3 Where does Turbo Tax say you need a 1099NEC for $10? Are you receiving the income or paying it? A 1099NEC is only needed for $600 or more. 1099s for interest and dividends are issued for $10 or more. BUT you must report all your income no matter how small even if you don’t get a 1099NEC or 1099 INT or 1099DIV.

I cannot understand how a company that has been around so long does not have enough pride to post a comment stating when they’re going to actually have a working copy of the program hundreds of thousands of people have already purchased and owned and expected to work when they purchased it not one comment from TurboTax as far as when their product is going to be complete for most of us that require the 1099R it is incomplete. The date came 21 January 2026 nothing at 3:37 in the afternoon not even a comment from the company this is not right. I will be going to a different tax program next year

thanks

Totally agree, have never had this issue before and like you, the lack of any comments from the company speaks volumes. These "estimates" that have been thrown out by the "experts" are not based on any facts and further add to the disappointment to the situation. The only other option i have heard from turbotax is to pay extra to have them do it. If your people can do it why can't I. This is ridiculous.

Just gonna piggyback on this comment like I have with all the others; this is an issue with a *MULTI-BILLION* dollar company relying on AI to fix problems they might have.

They don't want to hire humans. They will claim they have done so.

But they're relying on OpenAI, and Gemini, and anything the American Federal Government pushes to try and justify their ineptitude.
