You would report only the depreciation expense you actually claimed while the property was used as a rental. There is no depreciation for personal use.
If the short-term rentals were 14 days or less, you wouldn't report that income or deduct any expenses.

Nine states — Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming — have no state income taxes.
As your state Texas has no state income tax, it is not in the drop down menu of Box 15 of form W-2. Just leave boxes 15,16 and 17 blank even if TX is listed in box 15 and box 16 is filled with an amount on your form W-2.

You are welcome. I have reported it last year, but this year it is still the same. Feels like they don't pay much attentions to these small states, although charge is the same.

You can try leaving the withholding box blank. You can't withhold taxes without having an employer number. So, if the federal ID number is a social security number, you can't have an entry in box 4. If that doesn't work, try deleting the Form 1099-NEC entry and re-entering it, but don't make an entry in box 4.

Yes..Online Premium would be required.....but LIVE Premium is not. LIVE is an add-on service that you have to be careful to NOT select.....if you don't need an actual person to work with you.

if IRS tells you that, it means you opted for the TurboTax pay-my-fee-out-of-refund scheme. Based on forum discussions, that does not always work out well for the customer. @devin-osborne319...

Hi i am from Texas and on one of my w2 for the state income part 15-17. Box 15 just says Texas and says no employee ID #. But then box 16 has the same number from box 1 on my w2 of my wages. So I am confused should I leave 15-17 blank ? Because only thing it shows is box 16 with my wages earned and no ID # for box 15 just had TX. And it errored my response when I copied wages into box 16 and said I need a state ID *. But there isn’t one right since I am in Texas ?

It is New York state. I found the problem. The medical deductible for NYS is 10% and that knocked the amount to be under the total itemized deductible.

We just filed the taxes for my 18 year old daughter. She just accepted a scholarship to study in Ireland. (The scholarship will cover half of her tuition for all 4 years, but not any of the room and board) We have a 529 plan set up for her and a small ESA (Coverdell). With her scholarship, those should cover most of her undergraduate college costs. If she is allowed to, I think she will try to find a small job working while at school (10-15 hours a week). Just so I'm prepared for this for next year, is there anything I should be aware of as far as taxes are concerned.
