Deductions & credits

No text available

Hi, With assistance from here I was final able to enter the Ira basis from last year's taxes ( done manually) in my Turbotax online Deluxe preparation.It appears that the software subtracted my basis from total IRA distribution (which was partial converted to Roth) to get the taxable amount. Is that the way it's supposed to work? My refund went up considerably after it did that. I'm no really familiar with how that should work.   Any info would be appreciated.Dave

I am a non resident alien but received a 1042-S form from my brokerage account for Code 1 - Interest paid by U.S obligors, and Code 6 - Dividends paid by U.S obligors. Since the brokerage account has been making tax withholdings form this activity, how should I include these activity and withholdings in my return?

for Colorado

I volunteered for the National Park Service June - Aug. 2025. I traveled from Washington State to Arizona. I was not paid a stipend nor did I have any out of pocket expenses reimbursed to me.

After successfully entering my Oklahoma Return TurboTax using "Step-by-Step" it makes a last check but finds a "problem" and displays form 561 for "Capital Gain Deduction For Residents Filing form 511". The display error is to the effect about having to enter Federal ID number or Oklahoma location of the company. BUT no-where in the Federal Return was indicated that the stocks I sold were companies located in Oklahoma (they are not) so obviously I am not asking for a tax break in the state return.  The form says "To exclude a gain or loss, check the box in the * column" and I did but it still will not let you continue and insists to enter more information about those companies! It will not let you continue with the self-check. That's a bug, right?Can you please fix so I can continue my taxes and file? Is there something I did wrong?

My income is low this year. I have foreign investments that paid dividends and interest. AMT seems to be for people with outsized income and can't be changed without IRS consent. This doesn't feel right.

For 1) above, the page shows: Let's review what type of coverage XXX had in 2024 Tell us what type of (HDHP) coverage you had for each month of 2024. If you were covered by High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and a non-HDHP plan during the same month, select None.

Are charitable donations of clothing and housewares an above-the-line deduction?

Where & how do I enter the sale of a 2nd home?  I have no other investment income but I do have a 1099S and closing statement. In "Less Common Income" / "Sale of Home" only asks about the main home. Also when I go to the "search" (top right) I'm taken to a virtual assistant which after having asked a question earlier in the process gives no option of asking any other question, so no help there. I realize that I'm probably missing a simple explanation/process but tghis has me stumped to the point of frustration . . .  Thanks in advance for any and all help rendered.

How do you get the sr. enhancement + 5K addition to the standard deduction?

The flexible ducting was old and had been chewed through by animals that had entered the crawl space. I understand that only the cost of the metal ducting itself would be deductible.

Hi, I have been using Turbo Task Desktop (Home & Business) for many years.  In tax-year 2024, I incurred losses from sale of stock, but they don't automatically carry over as I assumed or their impact doesn't show.  Personal information was successfully imported from tax-year 2024.    I just started keying in the numbers (W2) for tax-year 2025 so, perhaps the loss carry-over doesn't impact the return and will only do so when I get to investments portion? I am living in Texas and file "Married Jointly" as it has been for many years. Awaiting comments! Cheers,JJ
