I had this problem, two different error codes, a blank white box & a whole slew of problems. It occurred to me that I have sooo many forms that are no longer used, ie items that are fully depreciated, and when I deleted a goodcportion of them everything worked as smoothly as it should. Even though I have a brand new computer that far exceeds the requirements, the program was overwhelmed with unnecessary data. Try deleting unused old data. 

Have the same issue. Just spent an hour on the phone with support. Went thru all of the W2 entries and could find no issues. The last recommended fix was to delete all the W2s and manually enter them. I'm not manually entering the information for 3 different W2s that contain aprx 16 total localities. 

You will create an Property Improvement asset and depreciate the cost over time.  To enter your rental improvements, simply follow the directions to enter your rental income and expenses.   At some point you'll come across the Here's [your property's] rental property info screen.  Under Expenses / Assets (Depreciation), select Add expense or asset and follow the onscreen instructions.    How do I handle capital improvements and depreciation for my rental?   What kinds of rental property expenses can I deduct?  You are able to expense repairs, but major improvements require depreciation.    What is rental depreciation and how does it differ from an expense?

To file IRS Form 172, which deals with Net Operating Losses (NOLs) for individuals, estates, and trusts, you can follow these steps: Download Form 172: You can find the form on the IRS website here Complete the Form: Follow the instructions provided by the IRS to fill out the form. Detailed instructions are available here File the Form: Since TurboTax does not support Form 172, you will need to manually file it. You can mail the completed form to the IRS address specified in the instructions. For additional help, you can refer to TurboTax's community discussions on handling NOLs here

Thank you Mindy for your response, it was very helpful! To confirm: She does not provide more than half of her own support and lives with me full-time, so I can claim her as a dependent. If I do claim her as a dependent do I add her income from her W2?  And with the 1098-T received from her school, box 5 is a greater amount than box 1, will that change things when I claim her?

Don't stress, not everyone needs an IP PIN.   Please see this TurboTax Help Article for more information: What's an IP PIN? Do I need one?   Also see this help article if it applies How do I fix e-file reject IND-181-01?   @austinjasper 

How do I get a refund??  I pd for efile.  Turbo soft ware is not allowing it to file . Every thing noted was fixed. actually  it was never wrong. I want a refund on this 2024 turbotx premier I both. It has too many flaw in it.  No good.  Next year I will NOT use turbo tax. Whoever wrote this package must have been on drugs. Aweful.

If you changed your mind about MAX, you can remove it as long as you haven't already paid for it. See this help article for more information.   Please see this help article for more information about the benefits you receive with MAX including a link to the Membership Agreement with more details about the services, privacy rules, and how to terminate the membership.  

I didnt even know about this pin for either of us and I am stressing out trying to find it because the IRS rejected my tax return because it is missing a pin.....which I didn't see where you would even put it.  Please help...only 2 days left.  Thank you  

Entering your mortgage interest will only change your tax when you have already entered enough itemized deductions to exceed the standard deduction.    Here are the standard deductions for 2024:   Single and Married Filing Separately taxpayers: $14,600 Married Filing Jointly taxpayers: $29,200 Head of Household: $21,900

You're saying that if I had filed, I would have exactly 3 years from the day I filed the return to claim the refund right? I haven't filed my return yet so I'm hoping that this is irrelevant in my case.  Can you confirm if the lookback period that determines the max refund I can claim does go back 3.5 years since I filed for the extension? @MindyB  the timeline is as follows: 1. Estimated Tax payments made in 2021. 2. Extension filed in 2022 April 15 2022. 3. Extension payment made on April 20 2022. 4. Another payment made in Oct 2022. 5. Have no filed return yet If I file on Oct 15 2025, will I be eligible to claim refunds from all of the payments I have made during 2021 and 2022? or will I be limited to payments made past Oct 15 2022 (which is past all dates I made tax payments and therefore I lose ability to claim refund)
