I am using the desktop verson of Turbotax Deluxe, and need to report the sale of a second home. Is that possible in this version? If not, how do I upgrade my desktop version?

Tax program is noting an error on Oregon State return requiring a State Tax ID number for the investment house. I have contacted the Investment house, spoken to my Financial advisor and finally called the State of Oregon who all say that this number is not required. Can you tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it? URGENT really. Kyczy

You may wish to track the source of the number on that form/line to see if it goes to a worksheet that you can adjust without an override. To do this, go to Forms (icon in the header), find Form 8960, right-click the box/value on the line you need to change, and choose "Data Source." The pop-up window should provide more information on how that value was entered.
You may find that you do need to override the entry and enter the amount manually. Normally this would affect your return. But since you're filing a 2022 tax return, you will print and mail it (e-filing isn't affected).

1. You can efile the MN without the property credit if you are a homeowner. A renter must file them together. Follow these steps, if you are a homeowner:
open to your state return
revisit/ edit / update
continue through looking for Other Forms you May Need
uncheck the box for Property Tax Refund- Form M1PR
continue on
check to see if the program still has the M1PR
If so, delete the form. Using tax tools, select tools, then delete a form.
When convenient for you, file your Property Tax credit online here.
2. You can e-file your federal return now and the state later. When you get to the end to file:
select e-file for federal
select file by mail for state - this does not mean you will file by mail. It is telling the program not to efile it now.
when you are ready to e-file the state, come back through and choose to e-file the state return.
If you've already paid for your State return, but have not filed it, try to Contact TurboTax Support and use 'Billing' as your issue.

This annoying bug still exists for TY25. My workaround is to put $.01 in box 16. You will also have to enter a state and a state ID. I use the federal ID.

I claimed $3000 in loss in 2023 and 2024. I have a remaining 4,307 loss and need to claim $3000 for 2025. How do I do that?

Of course my home address is correct on my return and of course I have no out of country address. That's why I'm asking the question. No, I am not taking the EIC, but that box on the front of my return says nothing about the EIC, so it should be checked regardless. I am using the online version, so apparently I can't go in and check the box manually? Do I have any other option to get that box that should be checked to be checked? I refuse to submit a return with an obvious error on it. Will TurboTax fix this bug so I can submit an accurate return? Or can I get a refund on my TurboTax fees so I can get someone else to prepare my return accurately?

I have 3 1099LTC forms issued by two different companies. Company A issued two 1099LTCs. The first one had the "Per Diem" box checked off and the second one had the "Reimbursed Amount" box checked off. Company B issued the 1099LTC with the "Reimbursed Amount" box checked off. One of the first statements is "Long-Term Care Payments. Payments received for long-term care are usually reported on Form 1099-LTC. Total the amounts received from all forms 1099-LTC for the long-term care of ...". At this stage you don't enter anything and can only press "Continue". The next question is: Gross Per Diem LTC Benefits: Enter the total amounts from box 1 of all Forms 1099-LTC received for (Name of Person) ONLY if the "per diem" box is checked in box 3 of the forms." Then it has you enter "Per Diem Gross Benefits". And this was done. It goes through a number of other screens. Then comes to LTC costs and the total number of days and costs are entered. Then it's done. The next screen allows me to enter a new person, but that doesn't apply. Where do I enter the 1099LTC payments for the "Reimbursed Amounts"? The first statement in TurboTax about totaling all amounts received but then only asking for the total of Per Diem amounts doesn't make any sense, especially if TurboTax doesn't ask about "Reimbursed Amounts". How and where do I enter the other 1099LTCs?

The fee to e-file a return isn't charged until you actually complete the filing process. You may, however, purchase a state return module and install that software before you need it.

I am confused about how you would get a 1099 -- you used your correct SSN but a false name? If you could have connected your bank account and withdrawn the money, or if you could have changed your name and asked for a check or bank deposit, then it is your money even if you never actually collected it and it is taxable.

I lived 5 months in NJ, and 7 months in NC. So I can allocate 5/12 for my NJ PY return. But TurboTax does not allow a 7/12 allocation for NC. (This is an error.)
