When I am asked to enter the information in the table for the 1095-A form there is a column 'C' Monthly Advance Payment of Premium Tax Credit.  Would this be where I would enter the reimbursement that my former company provides me?  It seems to correct it without adding to my AGI.
Im confused on the costs basis portion as my insurance repaired it but i lost business revenue
I converted from a sole proprietorship to a single member LLC in October. Can I report everything on the same LLC? Would I use the LLC name?
Correct.  You will not get the option for expenses if you choose other income. 
Why...? Have Child Tax Credit approved, with EI credit... GRRRR... thanks Lauren

RE: [ACTION REQUIRED] Check your 1099-INT info before filing your 2024 tax return Hello TurboTax Team, The Federal and State Returned have been submitted and accepted. There would be no fix now other than filing and Amended Return that I'm sure we would have to pay Intuit Turbo Tax to file again. There is no error.  Only one account, Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU) had reported interest income.  The IRS is supposed to get the same date.  The other accounts included on the return were erroneously and simply picked up by TurboTax software processing from pushed from past returns, NOT reported to IRS, and not entered by us because they did not apply to the 2024 return.  That Glitch was caused by Turbo Tax Software and not us. Let’s hope the IRS reviewers are not the bonafide idiots they have proven to be in processing the 2023 Return.  We are still waiting for them to get our 1099-X amended return processed and our bonafide $4,111 Over payment.   Those idiots tried to return us a $34,000 plus refund for us to refuse and the real $4,111 Refund has been denied to us until now. By the way,  your Turbo Tax software let that happen even though the actual supporting Documents clearly indicated the numbers were wrong. I will not be using Turbo Tax again.

by default the vouchers for 2025 ES calculated by TT assume that you are opting to pay 100% of 2024 tax thru withholding/estimated taxes (110% if AGI > 150k), and take into account your withholding based on the same amount as 2024.   the other option to avoid underpayment penalty is to pay 90% of your 2025 tax and provide estimates for withholding and other income etc for 2025; to figure this out you need to go thru the interview questions under Other Tax Situations / Form W4 and Estimated Taxes.
You need to know WHY it is thinking you need a Schedule C.  What EXACTLY does it say?

Ok... So... Looks like I figured out the issue.. and things are all correct on the TT side...   So.. 1040 Line 25c is from the "Tax Payments" worksheet... In my case, the 8959 line 21 was very close to the "Tax Payments" worksheet amount and hence the confusion.   it might help that TT can update the 1040/1040SR worksheet to direct to the "Tax Payments" worksheet when one double clicks on the form entry.. this will avoid the confusion that I had.

@MattC747 , I think that this post will answer your question more accurately:  Re: I was divorced in 2024 in a community prprty state I need to claim half my exs income and he ...    In this case, the first answer was correct based on the original question.  The OP then clarified that their divorce decree required income splitting for part of 2024, which means that the terms of the decree must be followed first.  HOWEVER, it does NOT mean that the parties are Married Filing Separately!  They (and you) will file according to their marital status on December 31.  For you, that means Head of Household.  This is true even if a divorce is legally final before midnight on December 31!    If your divorce decree does not specifically call for splitting income, you will report only your separate wage income and withholding for all of 2024 unless there is some kind of law in Texas requiring an allocation when the decree is silent.  So I guess I should ask how you came to the "understanding" that you each had to allocate 50% of your wages and withholding between yourselves?   If you figured it was logical, that's understandable - but in this case, pure mathematical logic was not taken into account when this piece of tax code was written - I would say that it's based more on practicality - so that ex-spouses are not required to communicate about their taxes months after the divorce is final.     JanA, CPA (retired)

If you are itemizing your return and the organization became a qualified charitable organization, you can claim the money you spent as a donation going back to the date that the exempt form was filed.  Any money spent prior to that is not deductible as an itemized expense.  If you are not itemizing your return, then you would not be able to take any type of deduction for the money you spent.    Standard versus Itemized Deduction

Hello everyone, Our Son received a full scholarship in 2024 which paid for everything including his room and board.  Since his entire college bill was covered by his scholarships; our state 529 plan would not make a payment to his school directly as they had done in the past.  Instead, they sent the reimbursement check to me (the parent) and the Form 1099-Q was also issued to my social security number.  Under my Son’s Turbo Tax (“TT”), I chose that he did NOT receive any Form 1099-Q (since 1099-Q was issued to me).  Under the parents’ TT, I chose that I was the recipient of Form 1099-Q and the 529 plan distributions were used to pay for the education expenses of my student.  Also, under our TT’s education expense input forms, I entered that $20k of the scholarship funds were used to pay for room and board. My questions are as follows: 1-Is it correct to answer in TT that the 529 plan distributions were used to pay for the education expenses of the student even though the distribution was sent to parents directly instead of the college? 2-Our 1040 does NOT show the earnings per Box 2 of Form 1099-Q, as “Other Income” on Sch 1, line 8z, even though we received the Form 1099-Q.  Is that a correct treatment?  Is it because the earnings from the 529 plan were applied towards the room and board expenses thus making the earnings tax-free and therefore, not required to be shown as “Other Income”? Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.
Either one.   If it is an ordinary and necessary expense for your business, you can expense it using either category.     Do I need to report inventory?
