No, the amount in box 1 on your Form 1099-NEC would list your total compensation from the company or individual you worked for. Form 1099-NEC reports self-employment income. The only way you would have qualifying overtime income associated with self-employment income would be if you billed the company more than your normally hourly rate for overtime services rendered. In that case, up to one half of your normal rate may be eligible for an overtime deduction.

You will find Schedule E by going to the rental section.  If you are using TurboTax Home and Business, this will be found in the Business Income section.  If you are using Premier or Premium this will be found under the income section.  You can also click on the magnifying glass to search for schedule E. 

NY is one of many states that use the full income to create a higher tax and then allocate the tax because it gives the state more income. Using just NY income, there would be no tax and no income to the state.

If the loss is from self-employment income, you would need to update your self-employment income entries and on the screen that says Your (name of business) Business, choose the Special Situations option under Final Details. On the next screen choose the option that says I have passive activity losses carrying over form 2024. On the next screen you can enter your loss carryforward.   For a rental property, update your Property Profile on the screen that says Review your (name of rental) Rental Summary. Work through that section until you come to a screen that says Do any of These Situations apply to this Property? The last section says Carryovers, and that is where you can enter your loss carryover from the previous year.

Thank you for your quick response. The Fed ID is 10 digits and Oregon is evidently 8 digits.  This wasn't required last year so I don't have anything in my notes about this. Even called Oregon and the tax department said it was not necessary. Maybe another state and Turbo added it to Oregon, too, by mistake?

I agree but my return shows $34,700 on line 12e not $31,500.  the additional Senior Deduction on line13b is correct at Zero. I can't find any work sheet that looks at my AGI of $346,203 and phases out the additional SR deduction. Do I need to override Line 12e?  Seems like a programing error. 

Nope. That is not what that box says.  I refuse to intentionally submit a form with an obvious error.   Turbo Tax has an obligation to its customers to fix this or refund our money so we can go with a service that isn’t trying to get us to knowingly submit erroneous forms.

1. Allocating the income while married is mandatory from Jan until date of divorce or legal separation- depending on state law. 2. No, the IRS follows property law, not specific wording of a divorce decree - unless it changes the income from community to separate. The buy-out does not change wages earned earlier in the year that were community income. If the decree is silent on tax allocation, it is default 50/50. 3. The withholding tax follows the income. You must also split the withholding 50/50. 4. The IRS  notification: Mail a physical letter to the address on your current return. It typically takes 6-18 months but could be longer before the IRS notices the mismatch and sends you a letter. The letter will show what the IRS has vs what you reported along with a proposed amount due. Mark that you disagree with the proposed changes Write a brief, easy to read - 5th grade level, letter explaining the discrepancy was caused by divorce in a community property state Include copies of:  form 8958, w2 These can usually be uploaded and always have fax and mail options. If you and your ex have matching form 8958, the IRS should process without an issue. Best wishes   References: Tax Tips for Community Property States Allocating Amounts on Form 8958

 Yes, there looks like there is an issue because if these were long-term rates, the tax rate should have been 20% on $28.797.  Here are some possible reasons why you were taxed more.   Short-Term vs. Long-Term: Double-check that these are truly coded as "Long-Term" in the software. If TurboTax treats them as Short-Term, they are taxed at ordinary income rates, which hit 37% once you cross  $15,650. $28k of ordinary trust income would easily generate an $8k+ tax bill.  Check each entry to ensure that they are all reported as long-term. 28% Rate Gain Assets: If the trust sold "collectibles" (like coins, art, or certain stamps) or Section 1202 qualified small business stock, the IRS taxes those gains at a flat 28%, regardless of the trust brackets. Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT): Check Schedule I. If the trust has certain adjustments or "tax preference items," it might be triggering the AMT. State Taxes: Ensure the $8,248 isn't combining your Federal and State balances.
