Are you entering more than one rental property?  Are you using TurboTax Home & Business?  If not, what product?  If you're entering separate rental properties in Home & Business, you will enter the insurance for each property when you enter each property's expenses.   If you still need help, reply back.    

No, it isn't ready to be filed if it has the watermark.   Have you been through the filing steps yet and paid any fees?   Either the form has not been finalized by the city yet (unlikely for a city return) or you have not gone through all of the filing steps yet.   What city and state are you filing a return for?   And have you already e-filed your federal and state returns?  

Yes, you may split your mortgage interest amount any way that you mutually agree upon such as 70/30, 60/40, 50/50, etc., as a married couple (if you live in a community state, the rules differ depending on where you live, but probably requires a 50/50 split).   "Yes, you can split the mortgage interest paid even though the form 1098 has only one taxpayer social security number.    As a married couple who co-owns the home loan and are filing separately, you can each just split the 1098 amounts (boxes 1 and 2) in your TurboTax entries for the home loan.     In other words each of your TurboTax entries will include a form 1098 from the lender that includes only your share of the interest and loan amount."   See TurboTax Expert DMarkM1's original post HERE.  

"You will enter $6,870 as Roth IRA contribution for 2024 in the IRA contribution interview ($7,000 - $130 that you withdrew by the due date)."   If that 130 earned any money, that just puts you in the same boat for 2024 as you are in for 2023. an additional excess will appear. Moreover, that means you won't have 130 2024 dollars available to offset 130 2023 dollars.   This is a bad solution unless you take out extra such as $150 or $200 as a cushion. It is still complex but more so. @pbartoli  @DanaB27 

No, you're doing it correctly!  If you end up filing a non-resident return for rental income and paid tax there, you would have a credit for out of state tax paid on your California return.    @plawlor78 

Do you have a business or are you self-employed? Your Form 1099-MISC from Morgan Stanley isn't Self-Employment income. Did Morgan Stanley give you some kind of bonus?   If you're not self-employed or have a business, delete the 1099-MISC and enter it under Other Common Income in the Income & Expenses Section. Refer to the TurboTax Help article How do I edit or delete a 1099-MISC? for navigation instructions to delete.   You can enter the income as “Other Income” so it won’t be subject to self-employment taxes.  Follow the steps below: Open TurboTax Select Federal Taxes Select Wages & Income select Start by Form 1099-MISC under Other Come Income Select Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC?
