That sounds good.  Do you know if I can sign into my FTB account and verify/confirm the credit amount they have for us? If not, another way I can verify what amount they have?  Thanks for your advice.  

See this if you have a nonresident alien spouse - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-and-deductions/help/how-should-i-file-my-taxes-if-my-spouse-is-a-nonresident-alien/01/1707071?search-action-id=615271561594&search-result-uid=1707071

The suggested solution, to uncheck final return, is not acceptable.  If the business closed in 2025, then 2025 is the final return. The program should know that the $800 is still owed for 2025. In my situation, I'm using the desktop home and business. The LLC in question was dissolved in December of 2025. Filing a tax return for 2026 when a business didn't even exist on January 1st of that year, makes no sense. Will the experts here agree that it's a bug in the program that it doesn't know the $800 for the final year return is still owed?     UPDATE: The desktop version allows me to override and type in 800. Since I have two LLC's I have to mail it in anyway, so I guess that's my solution.

Yes, you can combine the W2-G inputs together in order to make fewer entries into TurboTax as long as they are issued by the same casino.  Just be sure the total of all of your entries matches the total from your actual Form W2-Gs.

If you are referring to tax year 2024 and used TurboTax for the 2024 tax return, then you can file an amended tax return for 2024.   See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a prior year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US?uid=ld1n99kr

There is a section for vehicle expenses under the Schedule E inputs where you enter your rental property information.  That is where the information for the use of your personal vehicle in connection with your rental property will be entered.     You will need the total miles driven for rental property purposes, as well as the total miles driven for the year.  The expectation is that you have kept a log of the miles driven so you have documentation for the deduction.  Just like driving your personal vehicle for business purposes, if you own the vehicle, you can claim either the standard mileage deduction or actual expenses.

@wethreekeens you should have received a form 1099-R from the administrator of the IRA.   Did you receive that form? whose social security number is on that form and what code is in Box 7?    Can you comment more on what this means: " my name does not appear"? 

It depends on what you mean.  If you included her income from her jobs as part of your tax return, then you should not have done that.  The only income a parent can report on their own return for their dependent child is interest and dividends in some cases, but not wages.  If you have already filed your return with her wages included, then you should amend it to remove that income.   Even if she is claimed as a dependent on your return, a separate tax return of her own to report her wages might be required or needed.     Take a look at the following TurboTax help articles for more information:   Do I need to file my own taxes if I'm a dependent?   How do I amend my federal tax return for this year?  

Is $5308 the amount shown on your Form 1040, Line 35a?   What message do you see at the IRS "Where's My Refund" tracker tool?  Does it show the amount that they approved and sent? https://www.irs.gov/refunds   Who was the refund from?   If you're also expecting a state refund, it may have come first.   Was the deposit directly from the IRS/US Treasury, or was it from a third-party bank (such as if you paid any fees out of your refund, etc.)   If the IRS lowered the refund amount, they should send a letter in about 3 weeks explaining why.   FAQ:  Why was my refund lower than the amount on my return? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refund-direct-deposit-check-l...
