Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you have not yet filed your 2024 Federal 1040 tax return, as a test, add $1 to other income.

 

The income will be reported on line 8z of Schedule 1 and you will be able to see the amount that was included in error or for personal items sold at a loss at the top of the form.

 

Print out the form and retain the form with your records.
