Checking the out of country box gives you 2 extra months to file your return.  Since this does not apply to you, just be sure to file your return by 10/15/25, the normal six month extension date.   Please see Form 4868 Instructions.

That;s terrible news about the 6% and I will contact the IRS at some point.   Emergency query: No, you do not make a new contribution/move funds into the IRA to apply an excess contribution from a previous year as a 2025 contribution. This is all done on Form 5329.   My accountants dont understand this. I did not file with Form 5329 and dont have an extension, I am amending my 2025 return. Does the Form have to be filled out by today? that wont happen as I dont know how to do it and the amendment wont go it today. Too late to get an extension though I should have,  What is deadline for apply to 2025 IRA ? They also asked how does a Form link the excess amounts to the 2025 IRA without actually deporting the money? is it a 1099 thats issued end of 2025 that designates it as a 2025 contribution?

Actually, step by step is better.  After the initial screens in the Foreign Tax Credit section (referring to INT/DIV),  you're asked a couple questions on using the simplified method.  Then you'll see a screen 'Completing Forms 1116,  and the next screen is where the various income types are listed.     Here's more info on Claiming the Foreign Tax Credit.   @srr         

Hi, It was rejected due to Fed rejection.   However, I logged into IRS.gov and created a PIN and a few minutes later, I got a message that Federal was accepted (without me having to resubmit or correct anything through TurboTax).   My fear is that the STATE is now in limbo (pending) and still thinks Federal has been rejected and waiting for correction before it tries State again.   Hope that makes sense!  Thanks  

You can Amend Your Return for the past three years.  You cannot claim a refund further back than three years. To claim someone as a Qualifying Relative, they must be: Your child ( including step children, adoptive children and foster children) or a descendent of them Your sibling (including half siblings) or a child of your sibling or a sibling-in-law Your parent or grandparents, including step parents and in laws Any other person that lived with you for the entire tax year Not a qualifying child of another taxpayer Someone that you provided over half of their support for during the tax year Has less than $5,050 in income (not counting social security)

I’m having such a hard time with this error. This is obviously a glitch, has anyone resolved this 1099-K needs review error? All my personal sales were at a loss. This should not be this difficult. I really need help and the only way is to upgrade to live assistance to get any help? This is truly unacceptable, and I’m not confident that I will get this resolved by upgrading since I’ve been reading other people’s experiences. 

Until you pay for the program, you can't see all of the tax forms and schedules. You can see your Form 1040 and schedules 1 to 3 while working online with TurboTax as follows:   To view your form 1040 and schedule 1 to 3:   Choose Tax Tools from your left menu bar in TurboTax Online while working in your program Choose Tools Choose View Tax Summary See the Preview my 1040 option in the left menu bar and click on it Choose the Back option in the left menu bar when you are done  @cstien 

Go back into your federal return and go to "Other Tax Situations" at the top.  Scroll down to 'Other Tax Forms" and click start or update on "Form W-4 and Estimated Taxes".  Go through there and make certain that the program has set up the estimates for you.  If everything looks good there then the estimates will print with your return.   @weathersbk
