Make sure you have entered your assets under the rental property for which is applies.  Please see how do I handle capital improvements and depreciation for my rental for guidance on how to enter the assets in the correct location.   If you have entered them in another section of the program, you will need to delete those entries and follow the steps in the link above to ensure they are linked to your rental property.  Please see this thread for guidance on deleting any incorrectly entered assets.

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.    https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   Start a 2024 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/27010     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-2021-turbotax-online-return-pdf/L8dHfRkpT_US_en_US?uid=m5y4ch1y   Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery     Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-tax-file-computer/L0XJvPaJr_US_en_US?uid=m6gufxei     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/data-systems/find-tax-data-file-mac/L4VNGm33S_US_en_US?uid=m6guhab0 You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf       SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

It depends.   Typically, if you earn income from activities as a sole proprietor or independent contractor for which you control your schedule, clients, or overall operations in which you intend to make a profit, you would be considered to be self-employed.  Please see this resource from the IRS as well as does a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC mean I'm self-employed for more details.   If the income is from activities that are not consistent like a prize or lawsuit settlement, then it would not be considered self-employment income and would not be subject to self-employment taxes.

@jessica-malenga E-filing is permanently closed for a 2023 return.  The only way to file a 2023 return is to print it, sign and date it in ink, and mail it in.     If you have a six digit PIN to enter:  Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.          You will be able to access the 2023 return you started by using the exact same account and user ID that you used when you started it.   But you can no longer use online software for any further changes.       Start a 2024  return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.   Online tax preparation and e-filing for 2023 returns is now permanently closed.    Now it is too late to use online software or to e-file. If you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2023 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac  (not to a mobile device).Then you need to print, sign and mail it.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/finish-prior-year-return-started-turbotax-online/L9Oe4M90A_US_en_US?uid=m68tffpe   If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.   They are available from 5 a.m. to 9p.m. Pacific time Monday - Friday   https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899263-what-is-the-turbotax-phone-number     If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.  

If --- and only if --- you used TurboTax to prepare your federal return, you can go back and use Add a State to add the non-resident software and prepare your returns.   Information flows from the federal return to the state returns, so if you did not use TT to prepare your federal return, you will need to seek some other way to prepare state returns.  TT cannot be used to prepare "stand alone" state returns.  And...when you prepare returns for a resident state (the state you live in) and a non-resident state, you need to prepare the NON-resident state return before you prepare a resident state return.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/finish-prior-year-return-started-turbotax-online/L9Oe4M90A_US_en_US?uid=m68tffpe

When you finish doing 2023 in the Desktop program you will be able to transfer the .tax2023 file  into the 2024 Online version or the Desktop program.  You will have to print and mail 2023.  You can efile 2024 until Oct 15.   When you efile 2024 you need to enter 0 for the 2023 AGI since you are filing 2023 late.   

To complete your 2023 tax return, you will need to download the 2023 tax software.  Please see how do I finish a prior-year return that I started in TurboTax Online for guidance.   Once you have completed your prior year return, you can prepare your 2024 income tax return.

Please see how do I contact TurboTax to reach a representative.   If you are looking for an expert to assist, please see how do I get TurboTax Live if you are preparing your tax return using TurboTax Online or what is TurboTax Desktop Live Advice if you are using TurboTax Desktop.    

The mailing address would be on the Filing Instructions page when you print out the amended tax return.   Go to this IRS website for the mailing address for a Form 1040-X, by state - See this TurboTax support FAQ for contacting support - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/turbotax-phone-number/L0Od33nMQ_US_en_US?uid=lfgviwbm
