Dear Community, I recently started working at a company called Ringle. They give me a 1099 for tax purposes. I'm confused as to whether I need to actually pay estimated tax before April 15th. I only started working this year as I'm still in school. Basically, I didn't work at all in 2024 and made no money. I was a citizen for the whole year. I'm not sure what the IRS means when it says "Your prior tax year covered a 12-month period". I'm guessing it means something like you worked a certain months out of the year and didn't work the other months? It's my first time dealing with a 1099 and it's incredibly confusing. I'm also not sure how to use the self-employment tax calculator on TurboTax's website. I tried using it, but it didn't have a section for 1099s. There were only fields for W-2s so I'm really lost. Sorry if my thoughts are coming out all jumbled. TLDR: Do I need to file estimated taxes before April 15th? I thought I didn't but I'm getting cold feet now that the deadline is a bit closer. Thank you in advance for those who decide to answer these questions. I appreciate your time.

No, you do not have until next April to make the payment. The IRS is a pay as you go system. So since you sold the house in early March, the taxes on the sale would be due April 15th, of THIS year.

I have a farm store and received a 1099K from Square. When I report my income on Schedule C, Do I subtract the income reported on the 1099K from my total income (cash sales) and only report that difference on Schedule C since the credit card income is already being reported through the 1099 K? Also, one of the transactions reported on the 1099K actually needs to be reported on my Schedule F. How do I handle that. I'm reporting my 1099K when working on my Schedule C

Used to be a small business owner, but business had been slow so decided to officially shut down business. Hired by a company in Jan 2024, closed business in March 2024. For the past 20 years, filed married jointly, using the Turbotax home+business software. To file 2024 taxes, can we just use the home version only, and forget about the business? Btw, we had a loss in 2023 carried over. Also, with 2 W2s, we may owe the IRS. Several questions: 1. What software to use? 2. If filing married separately using home+business, how do we split the expenses such as home interest, etc.? Does the software know what to do? Thank you!

The gross income limitation for home office expenses is based on the income generated from the business conducted in the home office. Essentially, the deduction cannot exceed the gross income from the business use of your home. If your business has a net loss, you cannot claim the home office deduction for that year, but you may be able to carry forward unallowed expenses to future years if using the actual expense method.
If you do have some net income before the Home Office Expense is applied, you may be able to use some expense to bring your net come to zero. The remainder may be carried forward for unallowed expenses in a future year.

What is a "qualifying person" for Head of Household?
If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your marital status (single or married filing separately) into MyInfo, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.

It may be because the lump sum payment did not make a difference in your taxable social security income in a previous year. Depending on the amount of the lump sum payment and your income and social security benefits received in a previous year, it may be that adding the lump sum payment to that year did not change the taxable amount of your social security benefits in that year. In that case the lump sum election would not be in effect, so the box in line 6(c) on your Form 1040 would not be checked.
