That is self employment income. You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Premium version.  Or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs.  You don't need to get a 1099NEC or 1099Misc or 1099K.  Even if you did you can enter all your income as Cash.  Only the total goes to schedule C.   How to enter income from Self Employment https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed/help/how-do-i-report-income-from-self-employment/00/26653

In general, a compensation structure of strictly stock is not permitted under state and federal law.  Employees must be paid at least the minimum wage in cash.  However, there is an exception to this rule if the employee qualifies for exemption under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). To qualify for the exemption, an individual must (1) be employed in a bona fide executive capacity, (2) own at least a 20% interest in the business and (3) be actively engaged in the management of the business.  Obviously the owner of an S-Corp would qualify.   If you are paying yourself wages with the stock and you have no cash income, how is the company paying the payroll taxes:  Employer's share of social security and Medicare, unemployment insurance, and employee withholding of social security and Medicare?   I don't understand what you mean by "I then take expenses as non-reimbursed business expenses" - can you clarify?

When TurboTax asks for the "individual" AGI for you and then your husband, it is looking for a match against the 2024 Oregon Department of Revenue database.  Enter the Full Joint AGI from your 2024 return into both boxes.   For an MFJ return, the "Individual AGI" for each spouse is technically the total joint amount. By entering the full amount in both fields, you satisfy the software's requirement that the total matches your 2024 filing. The Oregon Kicker for 2025 (this year) is 9.863% of your 2024 tax liability. TurboTax might be asking for these AGIs to "verify" you, but the actual calculation comes from a different line.   Open your 2024 Oregon Form OR-40. Look at Line 22 (Tax before credits). If TurboTax asks for "Prior Year Tax Liability," enter the amount from that specific line. If you manually enter this, the software usually stops asking for individual AGI breakdowns.   You can confirm if the software is finally getting it right by checking your 2025 return (the one you are working on now): Line 56 of Form OR-40 is where the Kicker appears. It should be exactly equal (2024 Line 22)  X  0.09863.  

Are you using the Desktop program or the Online version?  Are you in California?     What is Premium Services? https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/choosing-a-product/help/what-is-the-premium-services-bundle/00/255...   There is a separate fee to efile the state return.  In the Desktop program you get one free state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited state returns. Then each state return (including the first one) is $25 to efile. Or you can print and mail state for free.   Then if you selected to have the fee deducted from your refund  There is an Extra $40 Refund Processing Service charge (45 in California) for that which you can avoid by paying the state efile fee with a credit card.  

many folks have been having issue doing a new return then "Begin" and import etc; instead try File / Open Tax Return and open the .tax2024 file and TT 2025 will ask if you want to transfer it into a new return.

You need your 2024 AGI to efile 2025. The AGI is on 2024 1040 or 1040SR line 11. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse. How to find the AGI. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947 If you didn't file 2024 or filed it later in the year or mailed it, then try entering 0 for the AGI. If that doesn't work you will have to print and mail your return. Or request a transcript from the IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

This TurboTax Help states:   There are two types of dependents, each subject to different rules:   a qualifying child a qualifying relative For both types of dependents, the person must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, U.S. resident, or a resident of Canada or Mexico.   A dependent must meet the requirements of a qualifying child or a qualifying relative in order for you to claim them on your tax return.    The tests for a qualifying child are:   Relationship: Must be your child, adopted child, foster child, brother or sister, or a descendant of one of these (grand or nephew). Residence: Must have the same residence for more than half the year. Age: Must be under age 19 or under 24 and a full-time student for at least 5 months.

Joint Support: The child cannot file a joint return for the year.  The tests for a qualifying relative are:   Qualifying Child: They are not the “qualifying child” of another taxpayer or your “qualifying child.” Gross Income: The dependent being claimed earns less than $5,200 in 2025.

TurboTax software will ask you simple questions and give you the tax deductions and credits for which you are eligible based upon your answers.  

No, I can't get to the place where it asks for room & board expenses.  It just closes out saying I don't need to report the 1099Q because I'm not eligable for the deduction.  But I want to make sure I'm not taxed on the distribution from the 529 since the 1099Q is more than the 1098T.
