Hello, my name is Arbine. I have filed an amended return for 2021 and 2022, and the IRS has recently processed it on March 18 and 20. I have gotten an audit letter back in January from NYS Department of Taxation and Finance stating that FAGI was a different amount then whatever was reported on my New York State return and was asking to pay back a big amount however, at that time my amended returns were not processed, and I have called the IRS they said that I will get a refund in 4-6 weeks even though my amended return on the website hasn't been processed. My bill for New York State of Taxation has been under review and I have been updating them on any new information. While I don't owe anything to the IRS, the state has a different opinion. What should I do in this matter because I believe the information is not correct and they are asking for a federal transcript. I do have a tax advocate who is helping me to speed up the proceedings from the IRS. Thank you!

yes, but I thought it might matter which state I download first.

Can they compromise and use a neutral address of a lawyer, friend, or relative?

So when I had just the 1095-A's as health insurance, it correctly calculated SEHI and put it on Schedule 1. But we also have dental and other non ACA insurance, and when I added that on the SE screens, 7206 came back, again wrong and not matching Schedule 1. So I deleted the entry from the health insurance screen and will just add it to our medical expenses. That should produce a correct Schedule 1, and I will make sure that Schedule A includes only the health insurance premiums that were NOT deducted as SEHI. I shouldn't have to do this manually, but maybe I'm falling in some sort of strange corner case. Still no 8962 being generated, but then I really don't expect one.

Just to clarify, should I answer then yes to this question for a roth in-plan conversion of after tax contributions? "Did you move this money from a 401(k) to a Roth 401(k)?" If so, is it fine that answering yes to this removes the ROLLOVER keyword from my return?

Yes, if you made the payment in 2024 you can report in 2024 even if the SSA did not include it on your SSA-1099. Of course you must remember not to report it again in 2025!

Thank you I have 30 small transactions, though, so starting over and entering manually will be my last resort. But you mentioned "clearing the errors" ... is there actually a way to do this in TT/Mac? The only way I've found to do anything is via the awkward checkbox+bulk edit, and nothing I do there seems to affect the red "NEEDS REVIEW" labels. And there's no indication anywhere that anything is actually wrong, or what specifically might need review.

You are correct.
You may not file a MA married filing joint tax return.
Massachusetts Department of Revenue states:
Please note that a joint return is not allowed if both you and your spouse were not Massachusetts residents for the same portion of 2024.
You may still file a married filing joint IRS form 1040 tax return but you will still have to to prepare multiple tax returns to prepare the married filing separately tax returns to Massachusetts.

I bought and downloaded a second state (not the one I reside in) that it turns out I don't have income in. How can I delete that State? None of the answers I can find about this apply to the Desktop, Mac version (home and biz) - they all appear to be for the Windows version. Thanks!

The W2C only contained a Box 15,16, and 17. It listed Kansas, income, and tax paid. My employer said they "corrected" my pay from 2024 and redirected tax money from MO to KS to make the taxes accurate.
I have asked for a new W2 showing the correct MO income and tax paid and the correct KS income and tax paid.
Currently they are refusing to saying that I have all I need. This has been a back and forth for weeks. What do I actually need to report? Do I report ALL of my income to MO? Do I report my TOTAL minus KS as MO income?
I am wondering what I need to tell them a new W2 needs to show. I am very confused.
Thank you.

Hello, I am entering my 2024 tax information into your system. We live in California. I have a W-2 for non-taxable income, specifically Box 12A with code II for Medicaid income. The employer listed is my minor child, who is also the recipient of the services for which we receive this income. As a result, we are not subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes, and this income is excluded from our gross income as well. However, when I enter this W-2, my expected refund decreases by about $3,000. Could you please help me understand why this non-taxable income is affecting my refund? Thank you for your assistance.

The IP Pin will change each and every year. This is an Identity Protection Pin.
You can get an Identity Protection pin here, or if you lost your IP PIN, you can go here to Retrieve IP PIN.
Here are two ways to navigate to the section to enter the 6 digit IP PIN:
Log in and open your return ("Take me to my return")
Once the return is open, then go to the Federal Taxes tab.
Subtab Other Tax Situations
Scroll down to Other Return Info.
Choose Identity Protection PIN and Start (or Revisit.)
Next screen asks: "Did you or any of your dependents get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?"
Or another way:
Open your return if not already open. ("Take me to my return.")
Once the return is open, click at the top on MY ACCOUNT, then choose TOOLS.
In the Tools window choose TOPIC SEARCH.
Enter IP PIN without quotes.
In the selection list highlight IP PIN and click GO.
Next screen asks: "Did you or any of your dependents get an IP PIN from the IRS for this year's taxes?"

Regarding prior post, where the tax due (line 16) is not the amount calculated by using the tax tables in Pub 17. Called TurboTax this AM -- "sorry, can't tell you how TT calculates it -- contact a tax expert!" Since amount shown is less than what it appears it should be, concerned I'll be hearing from IRS re shortfall.
