@tfhoughton  yes importing is a different matter entirely, it depends on brokerages preparing those datasets which are separate from the PDF you have in hand, and they usually make all 1099 data available together, they are still processing all the other 1099s.   1099Rs are simple enough to input manually anyway and would need to pay attention to the additional interview questions about the 1099R also.

Yes, according to the instructions, you would need to fill out the apportionment schedule (even if CA sales = sales from all sources), assuming your LLC is considered a partnership for tax purposes.  Different rules may apply if your LLC can be disregarded for tax purposes and reported entirely on your individual state return. The CA FTB would be able to answer how they want this reported, given your filing history and any changes to state and federal law. Track the availability of your state forms in TurboTax here.   Please note: The final form(s) and instructions for tax year 2025 California Form 100 have not been finalized and made available online yet.

At the current time, there does not appear to be a situation with the home office deduction that would require a patch.   It could be that the combination of income attributable to your home office and the other business expenses are limiting your home office expenses.  The key may be the answer to the question about the percentage of time spent conducting business in the home office.      If the home office expenses are limited and not allowed to be taken on the current year’s return, then they are carried forward to the next year as long as the actual home office expenses were being used and not the simplified method based solely on the square feet of the office.    There are some examples below that will illustrate this limitation a little better.  Take a look at these with respect to your own situation and see if the end result is what it should be.   Income Earned from Home Office   The IRS limits the total of certain kinds of home office expenses - the ones you would not be able to deduct anywhere else on your tax return, such as your utilities and repairs - to the income earned from activities in your home office. Although these expenses cannot themselves create a loss on your business, you can carry over any unused portion to next year's home office deduction.   Here's how it works. Let's say  - Your business income before any expenses was $10,000  - All business expenses that would not limit your home office deduction were $4,000, and  - The home office expenses were $3,000   1). If 90% of your income came from business conducted in your home office, then you can deduct all of your home office expenses:  - $10,000 X 90% of income from the home office = $9,000 from business use of the home  - $9,000 - $4,000 other expenses = $5,000 available for home office expenses  - $5,000 is greater than $3,000 home office expenses, so you can deduct all of them.   2). However, if 60% of your income came from business conducted in your home office, then your home office expenses will be limited:  - $10,000 X 60% of income from the home office = $6,000 from business use of the home  - $6,000 - $4,000 other expenses = $2,000 available for home office expenses  - $2,000 is less than $3,000 home office expenses, so you can deduct $2,000 of them this year, and carry the remaining $1,000 to next year.   3). In addition, if 30% of your income came from business conducted in your home office, then you would not be able to deduct any of them this year:  - $10,000 X 30% of income from the home office = $3,000 from business use of the home  - $3,000 - $4,000 other expenses = $0 available for home office expenses (this will never be less than zero)  - You cannot deduct any home office expenses this year, but you can carry the entire $3,000 to next year.   @Biscotty4 

@mjheindel    Sorry, shut down last October. TTX staff have said they will start including a similar valuation help procedure in their software, in one of the future updates to the tax software.    No current suggestion as to when that might occur, or whether they've decided it to skip it this season.   IF not done by the end of February, you might have to make yore best guesses based on a re-visit to a Goodwill or Salvation Army store to see similar items
