Generally, you should wait until your returns have been accepted by both federal and state, and any refunds have been disbursed to your account before beginning the amendment process. If the VA DOT were to reject your state e-file transmission, then you could just revise the information entered and resubmit the original for e-filing as normal.    The state of Virginia does not have a separate form for amended individual tax returns; instead, a revised copy of the original will be filed with the Amended return box checked at the top. During your state review, make sure the amended reason code shows '04 Virginia Return – Changes to subtractions, deductions, additions, and credits' (so they do not ask you for a copy of Federal 1040-X).  Learn more: VA DOT - How to Complete an Amended Return   To populate the VA amended 760 in TurboTax Online (after your return has been fully processed by the state): TurboTax Online Go to the Amend screen. Select Amend (change) return, then Amend using TurboTax Online. If you're told to amend your return via TurboTax Desktop, follow the steps for TurboTax Desktop below instead. On the screen OK, let's get a kickstart on your 2025 amended return, select The IRS or state sent me a notice (this will allow you to amend only your state return without making changes to your federal) and Continue.

I fully understand all that. I'm being as clear as I can. How long does it take from when I push the "file my taxes" button in TurboTax until they are ACCEPTED or RECEIVED? I'm not asking about anything that happens after it's accepted or received. I don't care how long it takes for processing or how long it takes to get the refund. How long does electronic submission and receipt/acceptance happen? This is the question. 

To clarify, Form 4562 is used to report depreciation and amortization.   For a rental property sale, most closing costs, such as legal fees, title insurance, and transfer taxes, will reduce your gain on Form 4797.    When you sell your rental property, follow the steps to report the sale found here: I sold my rental property. How do I report that?, with the selling expenses you asked about being reported in step 10:   "To report the sale of your rental property, follow the steps below: Go to the rentals section Answer Yes to the question Did you have any income from rentals or royalties? On the Your rentals and royalties summary page, select Edit (pencil icon) beside the property you sold. Select Edit (pencil icon) next to Rental property info. Under General info, select Edit under Situations (or on the page Tell us about your situation this year), then select Sold or disposed of property.  Continue through the screens until you return to the Here's your rental property info screen. Select Edit next to Sold rental property or Sale of property/depreciation. Go directly to your asset summary and select Edit beside the first rental asset you sold. Continue to the page Tell Us More About This Rental Asset and check the box for The item was sold... Enter the date of the sale in the pop-up box. Follow the prompts to enter the sale information, including the sales price and selling expenses you calculated. Continue back to the Rental Asset list. Repeat steps 9-11 for each rental asset. Continue back to the Property Summary page. Select Done/Continue and answer any follow-up questions."

Thank you.    If I am understanding you correctly, only the third option would apply. If the 1099 misc (which was for "working" if an internship fits that definition. 9-5, five days per week for 10 weeks) is entered anywhere else (none of those uncommon situations apply) it then goes to Schedule 1 line z and then transfers over to the 1040 line 8 "additional income" and becomes unearned income. And therein lies the problem.    With regard to putting in under less common and miscellaneous income, I did try that. I guess my only discomfort there is that I have to delete the 1099 MISC altogether to do it. That has been sent to the IRS and I am unsure if my explanation carries over to them? (And then of course whether they would accept it as legit.)   I appreciate the feedback!        

TT has not corrected it in the Premier desktop version and I'm shocked and very disappointed they removed this input screen so we can avoid showing a tax liability that we do not have.  Poor job testing their software changes.
