Please read this TurboTax Help topic on how to start a new tax return for another person.   If you are using TurboTax Online, you cannot prepare and file a tax return for another person using an existing TurboTax account. You'll need to create a new account for yourself, distinct from the account you used to file your son's return last year.   If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can start a new return for yourself by clicking on Start a new return on the Welcome page of TurboTax.

You may deduct the property taxes paid, but not the maintenance charge.  Use the instructions in the following TurboTax help article as guidance:   Where do I enter my real estate (property) taxes in TurboTax?  

You'd file Married Filing Jointly for your federal tax return.   If you and your husband were full-year residents of your respective states and never a resident of each other's states, you'd file Married Filing Separately for your state returns and only include your own income on your respective returns.

Step 1 - Find out if he qualifies as a dependent. Take the quick quiz, Dependent - Who can I claim? using the  IRS Worksheet for Determining Support.   Step 2 - If he is not your dependent, proceed without him.  If he is your dependent: He will need to get an identity protection pin from the IRS for you to file and claim him as a dependent. See Get an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN). He will need to amend his return and mark that he can be claimed and remove the interest. A dependent may not claim the student loan interest.  Topic no. 456, Student loan interest deduction states: You can claim the deduction if all of the following apply: You paid interest on a qualified student loan in tax year 2024; You're legally obligated to pay interest on a qualified student loan; Your filing status isn't married filing separately; Your MAGI is less than a specified amount which is set annually; and Neither you nor your spouse, if filing jointly, were claimed as dependents on someone else's return. Another taxpayer is claiming you as a dependent if they list your name and other required information on page 1 of their Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR. @RHG1 

Thank you.  The works was performed in Ohio.  Sorry for the confusion.    I was very concerned about sending a fed tax return different then we filed.  (TT had the MFs return as part of the required filings for Ohio).   Also wanted to confirm MFs for Ohio applied if both were non residents.

If your Tax Return was rejected due to an IP PIN, you should have received a letter from the IRS with the 6 digits Number, or you can create an account on the IRS website to retrieve it. Make sure that you are entering it on the correct place   Get an identity protection PIN (IP PIN)   To enter the IP PIN From your TurboTax main screen locate Unconmon Situations.  Select the sub-topic "Identity Protection PIN", and click START. If your Tax Return keeps getting rejected because the IP PIN is wrong, you will need to mail your return.
