Taking the Credit in TurboTax (Must use TurboTax Desktop) -- How to switch from online TurboTax to the TurboTax software?
There are two components to taking the credit in TurboTax. The first part entails determining the amount of the tax that was overpaid in the year the income was received. This requires using the TurboTax Desktop product (or another method) to determine what the tax liability would have been without the income.
- The credit can only be applied using the TurboTax Desktop product installed on a computer, in the Forms mode.
- Switch to Forms mode by clicking on Forms icon in the program.
- In the list of forms on the left click on 1040/1040RSR Wks above the Form 1040 itself.
- Scroll down to Other Credits and Payments Smart Worksheet (near the bottom) and enter the amount that you have computed on Line D Claim of Right, IRC 1341 credit for repayments of prior year income.
- Click on the Step-by-Step or Easy Step icon in the upper right corner to return to the interview mode and finish working on your tax return.
