I have a similar question  but I didn't see a response to this question.  For us we had a 2013 chrysler 200 convertible with approx 63K miles. We purchased from a private owner in 2022, put it into service for referring soccer matches in March 2023. We traded it in in Oct 2025. How do we calculate the fair market value in March 2023 when it's March 2026  

"at no time does TurboTax prompt me to ask how much was for 2021-2024"   Nor should it.  The requests for waivers need to be made with 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Forms 5329, mailed separately from the 2025 tax return.

Para enmendar su declaracion estatal y reclamar el dinero retenido por la venta de su propiedad en California, siga estos pasos:   Espere hasta que el IRS y el estado hayan procesado su declaracion y le ha llegado el reembolso original (o ha pagado lo que debia) antes de comenzar la enmienda En TurboTax, busque la opcion "Amend a return" (enmendar una declaracion) en el menu principal de su pagina de inicio Seleccione Deducciones y creditos en la seccion federal (aunque es un impuesto estatal, debe ingresarlo aqui para que la informacion se transfiera correctamente) Entonces, desplazarse hacia abajo y haga clic en la flecha al lado derecho de, Impuestos estimados y otros impuestos pagados Seleccione Comenzar al lado derecho de Income Taxes Paid Haga clic en la flecha al lado derecho de Otros impuesto sobre ingresos pagados en 2025 Seleccione Comenzar al lado derecho de, Retencion aun no ingresada en un Formulario W-2 o un Formulario 1099 Aqui puede ingresar sus Retenciones estatales que California detuvo. TurboTax le incluyera el formulario 593 para reclamar sus retenciones.   Al reportar la venta en la seccion federal, TurboTax informara automaticamente a su declaracion de California de los impuestos pagados y generara Formulario 540-X (la enmienda estatal).   Lea ¿Cómo ingreso el Formulario 593 de retención de bienes raíces (California)? 

Denouement   I contacted the Idaho State Tax Commission regarding the issue I detailed above; they responded that my military retirement qualified (subject to statutory limits) for the benefit deduction in accordance with §63‑3022A(1)(b)(iii).   I am done with this topic: I have an actionable answer from the Tax Commission, and both Intuit and the Idaho State Tax Commission have been made aware of the issue in the Idaho state edition of the Turbotax software, to be addressed however they see fit. I plan to use the workaround I described above to file.   NB: the issue persists as of update released 4 Mar 2026.   Best of luck, o

Thanks for showing me how to access the Tax Summary.  My standard deduction for MFJ is bigger than my itemized deductions, so I don't see anything in schedule A.   In that case, is it a moot point?  IRS won't care if my itemized deductions are wrong if I'm taking standard deductions?    

If you already entered your Foreign Pensions in Miscellaneous Income, you don't need to report them again in the Foreign Tax Credit section, unless you reported the Gross Income amount and wish to take a credit for tax paid.  If you don't want to take the credit (you could test both ways), enter the Net Pension Amount.    If you want to calculate the credit, continue past the Dividend questions in the Foreign Tax Credit section until you reach a screen that asks if you have 'any other foreign income to report'.  Then choose either 'general category income' or 'passive income' from the next screen, and you will be asked for the amount of income, amount of tax paid on that income, and whether paid or accrued.    Yes, TurboTax will prepare a Form 1116 for different types of foreign income.    Here's more detailed info on Claiming the Foreign Tax Credit.   @pkrabbendam     

Thanks for the response.  I understand the part about the Q4 2024 estimated payment made in 2025. But in this case I actually made my Q4 2025 payment in 2025 (and input that 2025 payment date into the software).  Any idea why it doesn’t show on the Schedule A in 2025?  That’s the problem I’m trying to solve 

@jknower   If the IRS already adjusted your return and sent you less refund or a bill you don’t need to amend.  It’s already been corrected.  There nothing you can do to change it now.   You will come up with the same result as the IRS.
