Get your taxes done using TurboTax

JohnW152    The entry I 'thought' I needed to make for 2024 pertains to NJ Property Tax Reimbursements (NJ Senior Freeze program). 

 

Looking at my 2023 TT Federal Tax Return (Standard Deduction chosen), the amount of Property Tax Reimbursement had been entered on Schedule 1 Additional Income, Line 8z (Other income), with the words NEW JERSEY REAL ESTATE.  Note: for the previous year TT Federal Return (2022), I itemized deductions.  

 

Okay, so I'm now preparing my TT Federal Return (2024) and TT is showing me last year's entries as a guidepath for entering THIS year's information. Something I appreciate.... except that this year I'm doing a Standard Deduction again and I've been told I therefore  do not have to enter Property Tax Reimbursements (recoveries) at all.  But I was following the guidepath from TT (where they show me last year's entry) and had already entered an amount for this year under Wages & Income, Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.  I've never received ANY form with those numbers, but somehow that's where this year's property tax reimbursement amount is entered.  I need to delete that entry.  I followed your suggestion but the Revisit tab does not take me to a place where I can do that.  I'm sorry if I'm being unclear.  I'm 81 yrs old and doing my best.
