If this is income from a self-employed business, you can follow the steps in this link and report the amounts as cash.  This will ensure you report the income as reported on your 1099-NEC form in the correct form.

The Desktop program you install on your Mac?   You can buy the Desktop Download program here or in stores or online like Amazon, Costco, etc. https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download  

These support are not really working really. Its just a waste of time. I wasted 2 hours on the tech support call and ultimately they advised me to fill everything manually. I need a refund so I can download the desktop version and import my previous years return tt23 file.  

Just did my daughter's taxes who is a complete 1040EZ. They're trying to charge her the $29 downgraded it and now they want over $100. Then I found out she has been paying the maximum amount over the last 8 years because she thought she had to. This is insanity they've been sued before for scamming people so if you're going to be doing a lawsuit let me know I'd be happy to join in and give you all the information. She's a waitress and earns less than $18,000 a year and they want to charge her almost $300 that's insanity.

I refound the original quote from healthcare.gov/immigrants/lawfully-present-immigrants/, which said, "If your annual income is above 400% of the FPL: you may still qualify for premium tax credits that lower your monthly premium". I've been trying to find any substantiation for this point. Similarly, the tax software I'm using for the form has a similar question related to the above, but even with it selected the values that flow through aren't giving me much hope.    Appreciate the help!

I found a way around it. It's not obvious. Mentioned in the first answer is something paying with a credit card vs having the fee taken from your federal refund. Do that. Also have the check mailed vs direct deposit. That's really key.  I just  payed $15 to e-file state (after a $10 credit). I'd rather wait for a few weeks for small refund than pay some stupid $40 fee.

Thank you, I appreciate your answer. I am still quite frustrated that TurboTax would provide this prompt in the "Smart Check" without any explanation or guidance, or even any links so I can try to figure it out myself. Why did I pay for Deluxe software??
