Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks for your reply AbrahamT.   

 

This year when I began my 2022 return, which included transferring data from last year's return,  the initial set of forms created by TT included a Schedule T.   

 

So that I could answer your question, I created a new, test version of 1120S, for which I also transferred my 2021 1120S data.  Sure enough, at the point where the 2022 return was initialized and before I began entering 2022 data, I switched to Forms and I saw that the Schedule T had been created, appearing in the list with an exclamation point next to it.  I deleted the form right away and proceeded to enter all the 2022 data, getting to the point of electronic filing.  Interestingly, TT never asked me about Farm income and never created a new Schedule T. 

 

Again, in my first run through for the 2022 1120S, TT created, and then required me to keep the schedule T, even if I deleted it after the dialog began asking me about farm income.

 

On today's test run, TT created the initial 1120S with a Schedule T, but since I deleted it prior to proceeding with income/deductions/etc., TT never asked me about Farm related things again.  

 

If you, Abraham, or anyone else can find what triggers TT to lock in the requirement for Farm info, it would be interesting to hear back from you.

 

If we don't get an answer, it looks like I can at least can delete my first instance of 1120S, keep the second, and consider the matter closed.  Thanks again.  Walt
