I have a solo 401k and am trying to claim the $500 auto-enrollment credit in Part II (NOT the startup costs credit in Part I). Where do you claim this in Turbotax Home & Business? The only option I see is to claim the credit for startup costs (Part I).
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
I would go into Forms Mode and pull the form up from there.
On a related note/error:
On Home & Business MacOS: On form 8881, entry of $500 entered (not by me) on Part I line 4 that I cannot remove. I am trying to claim for my solo 401k under Part II which I checked.
I can't seem to figure out how to remove the entry on Part I line 4 which appears to be the issue on why my Federal and State returns keep getting rejected. It needs to be 0. I've tried manually going into forms- won't allow. I've tried Easy Steps and trying to go under Self-retirement tab, but it will not allow any changes when clicking update.
Please help Turbo Tax. It's after 3/6/24 when it was purported to be ready. (it's not)
Click Forms: 8881: scroll down to Part II, Click Auto-Enroll for the $500 tax credit.
The default amount on Form 8881 Part I Line 4 is $500. If the amount on Line 3 is greater, then the amount on Line 4 will be increased. If the rest of Part I is left blank, the default number on Line 4 should not affect the e-filing of your return.
If this issue remains, please provide the exact text of the error/reject message you are receiving.
@PatriciaV F8881-002-01 - Form 8881, 'PensionPlanStartupCostsCrAmt' must have a non-zero value if an amount is entered.
Please clarify the following:
1. You have checked the YES box on Form 8881 Part II "Was an auto-enrollment option provided for employees?"
2. A credit was reported on Schedule K-1 either from Form 1120S Box 13 Code F, G or P or Form 1065 box 15 Code F, G or P.
If the box is checked, you must have a credit from a K-1 in order to resolve the form error. Uncheck the box if a credit doesn't exist.
1. Yes, part II box checked on 8881. (Claiming $500 tax credit for auto enrollment for setting up my solo 401k). No employees which is why Part I is not applicable.
2. No schedule K. Only schedule C. Solo Proprietorship.
Returns still getting rejected efile. Already paid $25 to Turbo Tax for CA efile so sending by snail mail isn’t really any option-unless TT will provide refund but would really prefer efile.
Mahalo.
I see that Turbo Tax updated the SW and Form 8881, Part I $500 is now removed and the correct $0
However, I am now getting another error message:
F3800-497 - If Form 3800, 'GeneralBusCrFromNnPssvActyAmt' from 'Form8881PartIICYCreditsGrp' has a non-zero value and the corresponding column (d) 'PassThroughEntityEIN' does not have a value, then Form 8881 must be present in the return.
Form 3800 is suppose to pull Form 8881, Part II, $500 credit to Form 3800, DD- not "d" as in the error message. TT is getting there.
Mahalo, vf
