I e-Filed my federal and New York State returns and received notice that they were accepted yesterday.   Today I printed my returns and there was an "ELECTRONIC POSTMARK - CERTIFICATION OF ELECTRONIC FILING" document for the federal return only in the .pdf file.   But there was no certification of filing for the New York State return.   Why not?   Thank you.

If you previously e-filed your California S-Corp return using TurboTax Business, the state module should have already been installed.    Two options to try: State install/e-file update loop: State not installed after installation or TurboTax needs to update prior to e-file.

Some forms aren't available to be E-filed yet. This could be because the IRS and/or State haven't released the form to be electronically filed. Once they do release it, it might take a few days for TurboTax to integrate it into the system.  If the form says it's Unsupported, it means that it is not supported by TurboTax, and you won't be able to file it electronically. Instead, you will have to print and mail either the form itself or the whole return.    Click on the link below and then on the blue "This Tool" link, and locate your state for when a specific return or Form will be available to be e-filed (if the form isn't supported by TurboTax you will need to file by mail):   When will my individual tax forms be available in TurboTax?  
I don't have any issues to ask about at this moment.

If you are using TurboTax Premium, you should not need a different version, as I am running the test through this one. The location of the question is shown in the remaining screenshots.   Answer the questions about whether the property was rented every day in 2024 Answer whether you had office space in the home. The next question is the one for "Want us to divide the rental related portion", select yes.   @Teresa H  
Since you filed a joint tax return for the year that the refund was for, it should be fine for him to claim it.

hello, I purchased a download from Amazon and when I attempt to install it I get the message, App has failed to start because its side by side configuration is incorrect. Please see the spp event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail. Can you give any guidance? As an aside, I do not have a CD for 2023, I really wish you still made those available. Thanks in advance.

Hello,  I'm new to this and need help.  I drive for Uber because my car broke down and I was able to get a rental through them. I'm using TurboTax deluxe software. I'm trying to figure out how to claim expenses for renting a vehicle and for the gas I used for the vehicle, etc.. the only way I see in the software it keeps wanting to know if I owned or lease a vehicle and then had expenses on that vehicle, but I didn't own or lease the vehicle I rented it, but I still have major expenses with the rental.  Right now I'm actually trying to get caught up and do 2023 and my expenses were greater than my income and I'm trying to figure out how to do this properly.  Can someone please tell me how I expense this in the software?   Thank you all very much in advance for your assistance. I'm at my whits end pulling my hair out right now trying to do this. Going forward I will use a tax professional to do this quarterly for 2025 and onward but right now I'm trying to get caught up on my own.
Classroom supplies are generally going to be classified as "Household Goods".     @glgordonsmith 
The statement that you have to "do nothing" but wait for the refund is 100% inaccurate information and can make people lose out on money because they did not submit the appropriate documentation.

Thank you, so as I understand it, this is what I should see:   2023 Return - $3,850 in other income and 6% penalty (already amended and paid)   2024 Return - $248 earnings in other income, and no 6% penalty because all 2023 activity was withdrawn before 12/31/2024   I understand that I will have to pay the 20% penalty on the full $4,098. Can this be avoided (fully or partially) if I indicate that I used the distribution for medical expenses? As I understand it, even though I was ineligible for the HSA in the first place, I can still use these funds for medical expenses and avoid the 20%?

A lien payoff letter is a letter between a lender and a borrower that states that upon the satisfaction of certain conditions by the borrower (usually payment of a specified amount on a specified date), the lender will release its liens on all collateral securing the loan and all obligations of the borrower.   If this involves a closing on your home sale, it is used to ensure a proper payoff of your mortgage for closing. Sellers or closing agents must contact the lien holder or their attorney for an official payoff statement. This statement outlines the final payoff amount and includes details on principal balances, accrued interest, attorney's fees, and administrative costs.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Code 8 is for an overcontribution made and removed in the same year.  Code P is for an overcontribution from the prior year that is being removed in this year.  Use the code that is applicable to your situation.   If you have entered this information on your 2024 return then the 1099-R that you receive next year should match the fake one you're entering now.  As long as the numbers match you get to ignore it next year.   @markrocknroll
