You have answered something incorrectly in MY INFO if it is asking you about that.   If you are filing a joint return and claiming a dependent, then it is not going to ask if you have an agreement with the other parent.   Delete your dependent and start over by re-entering the dependent, and go through the screens slowly and carefully.

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.   Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead.    What is the rejection code or rejection message?     If it was rejected for AGI—-your 2023 AGI might not be in the IRS system if you filed late.   Try using zero instead.   If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/where-do-i-correct-my-agi-in-turbotax-online/00/26311   If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

I never go through this much trouble to provide a review, but my experience has been so horrible, this time. I feel like I have to warn everyone I can NOT to EVER use this service if they are looking for an honest provider. Turbotax literally stole money from my bank account for a tax return they never filed and refuse to give it back.  They were trying to charge me $230 for a tax return that cost me $39 to file at HR Block. I cancelled, and switched services for obvious reasons, but Turbotax charged me anyway. I sat on the phone with customer service for nearly an hour for them to tell me they don't issue refunds. THEY NEVER FILED MY TAXES. This is outright theft. And a significant amount of it at that.

If a dealer offers me $36,000 for my vehicle is the calculation as follows: $54,875-all depreciation ($22,828) = $32,047 basis $36,000 sale -$32,047 = $3,953 gain   Or do I multiply either of those numbers by 80%?      if I wait another year and take another approx $8400 in depreciation and then trade in for say $34,000, the spread becomes even greater resulting in a bigger tax bite.   The year you take it out of service you only get a half-year of depreciation.  If you take it out of service in 2025, you will only get $7,024 of depreciation.  If you take it out of service in 2026, you'll get $14,048 of depreciation for 2025 and $4,214 in 2026 (based on exactly 80% business use).   $54,875 x 80% = $43,900 business basis $43,900 - $27,042 depreciation = $16,858 Adjusted Business Basis $36,000 x 80% = $28,800 Business Sale Price $28,800 - $16,858 = $11,942 taxable gain     However, when you refer to a bigger "tax bite", are you meaning that is a good way or a bad way?  The additional depreciation is either neutral or is HELPING you.  You are getting a deduction for that depreciation, so paying the recapture when it sells is just breaking it even.  Or if this is a Schedule C business, you are getting a deduction for BOTH income tax AND Self-Employment Tax, and then selling it is only increases income tax (no effect on self-employment tax).  

you probably did what may others do when they sell a PTP and that is to NOT attach the section 751 statement (would require mailing your return), If the IRS inquires you can explain the situation. It was a sale of a PTP. The broker reported the incorrect tax basis using type A or D when for a PTP the correct type is B or D. - tax basis not reported to IRS because the broker doesn't know it. The tax basis comes from the sales schedule provided by the partnership. A copy of which is enclosed. I made a mistake by adjusting the reported tax basis rather than using the adjustment column (code b) but the reported gain/loss is correct.     perhaps also complain to the broker about their misreporting. maybe even move your account.
