Mailing Tax Returns Questions
I have to mail in my tax returns this year. I prepared them using Turbo Tax and then printed it out.
I have the following questions:
1) For the Federal Tax Return, Turbo Tax tells me to only attach the W2 to the 1040 Form. The package also includes forms 8949 and 8995. I had some non-retirement accounts which contained mutual funds and dividends. The non-retirement account generated a consolidated 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-MISC, 1099-B. Do I need to attach it to the package? Turbo Tax does not mention it.
2) I had a Crypto Coinbase account which I invested about $120 and lost about $50. Do I need to include that? It doesn't seem to have generated any Tax document.
3) I received a $750 payment from a cousin through PayPal. Do I need to report that? PayPal did generate a 1099-K
4) For the State return, do I need to attach the 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-MISC, 1099-B?
5) My wife is a nonresident alien and I filed Married Filing Separately option (I don't want to use Married Filing Jointly or ITIN because the process is very tedious and requires mailing her original passport). I entered "999-88-9999" to get through the "validation" to print out the returns. Do I white out the "999-88-9999" on both the Federal and State returns and then write "NRA"? Can I just strikethrough instead of using white out?
6) In the State return, it asks for my Spouse's name. It is strange Turbo Tax did not fill this in automatically. Should I write her name or leave it blank?
