@fanfare Thanks. My question above was actually a reply to that post. what fixed my issues was the TurboTax software update. After the update the system was able to upload my Robinhood 1099-B successfully and generated detailed transaction records on form 8949 instead of a summary. I no longer need to mail anything

Just use box 7 code = "7" code 7 is for person over age 59 1/2. It really doesn't matter which of those three codes you pick. @sp8181

First of all, It is my understanding that the order of these letters go in the order of a 6174 first, then the 6174-A and finally a 6173. Although I never recall receiving a 6174 to begin with; I am having a hard time understanding why I received this letter from the IRS to begin with. I have no business in crypto-currency currently and haven't had any actual trading other than the dabbling in it from December 2017 to March 2018 and never exceeded $400. I even went through the hassle of accessing these old accounts I could remember. Accounts such as Binance US (Which is no longer supported in the USA), Poloniex (shutdown last year) and finally Coinbase. None of these accounts I got into have any trading currently let alone any holdings in them other than Coinbase which to my surprise has a very minuet amount of LTC but its only 0.00000002 which shows only worth $0.01. I'm just really confused on why I am getting this letter when I haven't bought, sold and/or used virtual currency for transactions in over 7 years. If someone could please shed some light on this or give me some answers of relief, I'd be happy.

I transferred BTC from Cash App to a cold wallet, but on the uploaded .csv, the withdrawals are showing up in Turbo Tax as capital gains.

Thank you DavidD66. I need some clarification for mortgage interest portion for personal residence period, do I need to classify the residence as primary residence? and also the mortgage amount is directly getting imported from 1098 , do I need to reduce it proportionately and check this option "The interest amount I entered is different than what's on our 1098."?

Thanks Brittany. But the number that the program auto filled into the "other income" portion of the figuring quarterly estimates, was quite large 84k+, I don't have any 1099 misc income in my return, The only things not entered under dividends, and capital gains, should have been rental income, (a loss this year) a bit of ordinary interest 17k? and about 17k of SS retirement income. So much less than the 84k that auto populated into the estimated taxes area of the program? Can you tell me which lines on 1040 are auto added into that line? Thank you

If I reported my dependent teen's 1099-INT (under $1000) in my Federal Return, do I need to report it as her income in the State Return where it asks if my dependent teen made income?

The amount withheld in box 4 will be deducted from your tax liability which zeroes out your penalty

I've been battling this for the last few hours. Couldn't get the 1099B to appear for a while, but finally did and every single transaction showed "needs review" for no reason. Once again, I've deleted those transactions and am back to battling the 1099K mystery. This is a joke. It really is.

I moved from MA to CO (and became a CO resident) on July 1, 2024. However, my state of residence wasn't updated in Workday and ADP until October, so my July-September earnings were incorrectly taxed MA taxes, when they should have been subject to CO taxes. I asked my employer to issue me a corrected W-2 (W-2c) statement, but I was told it's not possible since earnings and taxes withheld are determined and reported by my state of residence in Workday. They won't retroactively update my earnings and taxes withheld for July-September. I know I should file a MA Part-Year Resident tax return for January 1, 2024 - June 30, 2024 and a CO Part-Year Resident tax return for July 1, 2024-December 31, 2024. Then, based on what I've read online, such as https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/file-nonresi[product key removed]n/L0FzmhQrX_US_en_US and https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/after-you-file/discussion/my-employer-paid-income-tax-to-a-state-i-did-not-live-in-and-won-t-issue-a-correction/00/33685, I should also file a MA Non-Resident tax return (first) for July 1, 2024 - September 30, 2024 to receive a refund for the taxes that were incorrectly withheld by MA, when I was in fact a CO resident. The instructions state, "If preparing a nonresident return solely to recover erroneous tax withholdings, enter 0 on the screen that asks for the amount of income earned in that state. This will eliminate your tax liability for that state, resulting in a full refund." Can someone please clarify, "enter 0 on the screen that asks for the amount of income earned in that state."? Does this mean I should specify $0 of earnings for the non-resident state (MA) for July 1, 2024 - September 30, 2024? On this page in the "Complete Schedule R/NR" section (see screenshot), I tried entering $0 for all rows in the "Massachusetts Income While Nonresident" column, but I was later told that the Schedule R/NR isn't necessary since I'm reporting $0 nonresident income, and my only option to proceed is to remove the Schedule R/NR. After removing the Schedule R/NR and getting to the Summary page, my total income indicated as being taxable by MA was way too high. Also, there's a page in my MA tax return, titled, "Pay Tax to Another State?", which asks if I paid tax to MA and another state. Should I answer yes to this since I will have paid tax to CO for July-September too once I submit a CO Part-Year State Tax Return, or should I answer no since I wasn't double-taxed at the time (when my earnings were taxed MA taxes, but should have been taxed CO taxes)?

The Explain My Taxes section is Box 1 plus $5K from Box 10 of your W-2, less the loss on Schedule E (2,655).
$5k of the $6600 in Box 10 is taxable on your tax return. That amount is not included in box 1, but TurboTax adds it back to taxable income until you enter the qualified expenses paid for with the amount in Box 10.

I am renting out 1 room in my house which I also live in. Turbo tax is saying I can deduct the cost of insurance premiums, but it's not clear as to whether or not I deduct the full amount or if I can only deduct a portion based on how much of my house I rented out. I assume the latter is correct but I want to make sure if my thinking is accurate.

Hi everyone, this is the first time I am using this forum and I want to thank the community for this support. In 2024 I did a roth conversion from my IRA to a Roth IRA in TIAA. In the 1099-R, box 1 has the amount converted, box 2a has the same amount as taxable amount. Box 7 code is G, and the IRA/SEP/Simple has an X. When I entered this in Turbotax and answered questions it said for Roth conversions the code should be 1, 2 or 7 instead. When I contacted TIAA they said they wont issue a corrected 1099R and suggested I contact a CPA rather than try to file it on Turbotax. Given the short turnaround time for filing day, I am hoping there is a solution. thank you.
