If you are unable to move forward in your TurboTax program due to multiple review requests you can try these steps to correct this:

Go out of your program, close your browser and go back in.
Clear your cache and cookies. Click here for How to clear your cache. Click here for How do I delete cookies?
Try a different Web browser, such as Chrome or Firefox.
Make sure you have allowed local network access by clicking the lock/info icon next to the URL.
If you are using a VPN, disable it.
Make sure your internet connection is strong and stable
Try using incognito mode
Temporarily disable antivirus or firewall software that might be blocking data transmission
If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can manually check for updates for your TurboTax program by clicking on "Online" in the black bar near the top of your screen and selecting "Check for Updates."

If you are sure the item itis asking you to review ifs correct try e-filing. Often you can successfully e-file when TurboTax isasking you to review something.

Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.

Re: Explain the community property part of the Tax paper me and my wife filed married separate I ...

DavidD66 — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 01:07:57 GMT

If you live in a community property state, the majority of property and income you acquire while married is considered as owned by both of you. This means that when you file separate tax returns you need to report half of all community income plus all of your separate income on your tax return. It’s much easier to file a joint return. 

The definition of joint and separate property/income varies somewhat by state. IRS Publication 555, Table 1 has a general summary of what is and isn’t community property, but you need to look up your specific state's rules before you file your tax returns. For more information see the TurboTax article

Married Filing Separately in community property

Can someone assist in how i enter a 1099-S.....it represents proceeds from a timeshare transaction

TurboTax reported my long term transaction as a short term on form 8949

lmosher — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 01:07:26 GMT

I will try to make this as concise as possible.

I had multiple long term transactions and one short term transaction for crypto. I did the same for ALL long term transactions, I checked the "long term transaction with cost basis NOT reported to the IRS" option for all of them.

After submitting my taxes, I go to look at form 8949 and it's saying the long term transaction with the capital gains is a short term transaction. All the other transactions are correct.

There's code "MT" in the code section. I know what M means but I believe T is when it's incorrect.

I don't get what I did wrong here

Re: Is a Detailed Explanation of Benefits Good Enough Info for an HSA?

middle89 — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 01:06:44 GMT

Ok great, thanks! You mentioned that the IRS also requires records that show that the distribution was not previously reimbursed? Is the EoB enough to prove this as well, or is there anything else typically used to prove this?

I am asked if my spouse's return took a disaster distribution (8915-F). We filed jointly in 2024 and 2025. How do I answer this?

Re: How do I prepare a return for a life estate sale, when my mom is still alive and I have about 82% remainderman value?

Hi Palms — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 01:06:30 GMT

Have you owned the house and live there for the last 2 out of 5 years? If so, you can use the Section 121 exclusion of gain ($250,000/$500,000).

I'm assuming you didn't use the home as your primary residence though. In that case you report your share of the proceeds from the sale (less selling expenses) and need to figure out your basis. If you received the remainder as a gift, then your basis would be the lesser of your mother's adjusted basis or the fair market value on the date of the gift. The difference would be your gain of course.

Also, if this involved an enhanced life estate, which is legal in only few states, the remainder interest could be revoked and your mother assigned 100% of the gain on the sale.

Re: In 2024 I received unemployment and reported it with my 1099-G on my tax return. Why did I ju...

MaryK4 — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 01:06:29 GMT

The Form 1099-G you just received is likely for your 2023 state income tax refund which you received in 2024. While unemployment is reported on the same form (Box 1), tax refunds and credits are reported in Box 2.

Federal, state, and local governments are required to report certain payments, including tax refunds, to the IRS and to you. This form documents that you overpaid your state or local taxes in a previous year (likely 2023) and received that money back as a refund or credit in 2024.

If your state refund was redirected to pay a debt (like past-due child support or a prior tax bill), the full original refund amount is still reported here as if you had received it.

Re: If my wife filed our taxes as married jointly, does that mean I have to do mine as well or no?

VolvoGirl — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 01:05:49 GMT

You have a problem. Filing Joint is one return for the both of you combined. You do not file your own return. You will have to amend her return to add your info.

You should not amend until the first return has fully processed and you get the first refund or your tax due payment has cleared. But first be sure to save a copy of your original return since the amended return will overwrite it.

You can find Amend under

Re: If my wife filed our taxes as married jointly, does that mean I have to do mine as well or no?

TomK2023 — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 01:05:43 GMT

If your wife filed a Married Filing Jointly return, that single return covers both of you. You do not need to (and should not) file a separate individual return.

Both of your incomes, deductions, and credits are combined on a single Form 1040.

If she filed jointly but only included her income and left yours out, the return is incomplete. If that happened, you shouldn't file a new return; instead, you would need to amend the joint return she just filed to add your income.

Both spouses are legally required to sign a joint return (if filing electronically, this is usually done with a PIN or by verifying your prior-year income).

Re: Error Code 603- Activate - After Last Update

fyt — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 01:05:22 GMT

Hello and thanks for your suggestion - I had the umid present there and I tried your suggestion but unfortunately it still shows 3/3 activations used. The only difference was that my code was not pre-populated in its box so I had to insert it there and after it came back with the same Error 603.

It seems that last update and its forced activation has used all activations !! but not no. of computer installations !!! How is this possible ?

I don't understand why are we forced for 3 activations - my understanding was that we can install on 3 computers and have 8 returns to complete ! This is what I paid for ... not for a limited no. of activations while I haven't exceeded neither no. of computers nor no. of returns !!

Any other idea how to fix this - time flies and CRA deadline will come soon ? Thanks in advance.

IF I entered both my husband's and my w2 does that mean my state taxes are being prepared & filed

Re: I thought that you can deduct cash donations to charity even if taking standard deduction. But Turbo Tax is saying I can't

xmasbaby0 — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 01:05:08 GMT

TurboTax is correct. That charity donation deduction goes into effect for your 2026 tax return that you will file next year. For 2025, a charity donation goes on Schedule A with your other itemized deductions.
