The property itself will be entered as an Asset under the Schedule E Rental Income and Expenses section of your return.     In the Property Profile section, if you checked the box that this is the first year you are renting the property (if it is), then questions about the property itself that are needed to set up the depreciation should be asked automatically.   If this is not the first year you rented the property, then go to the Assets section to enter the depreciation details for the property.  Based on the information you enter, TurboTax will calculate the depreciation amount for you.   Use the information in the following TurboTax help article to get started:   Where do I enter income and expenses from a rental property?    

I am also see this error:   "We are experiencing internet transmission problems.  Your transmissions did not go through.  Intuits Electronic Filing center did not receive your returns.  Please try again later.  Error 2"   I am using the desktop version of Turbotax premier on Windows 11.   I got this error yesterday.  I tried again many times today and I am still seeing this error.  How can I get past it?   Karen

I agree with your assertion, "It's Deductible" was one of the main reasons I have used TurboTax for well over 10 years and it will be the last time if I can find a substitute that provides a similar service. This is INTUIT's deaf ear to the needs of its customers. And on top of that, not allowing those that had made data entries to the 2025 version is unethical. To assume (we all know what ASSUME stands for) that everyone received and read their communication to remove their data or lose it is another example of their attitude that "THEY" are the CUSTOMER, not us. Keeping "It's Deductible" operable for this year's tax season wouldn't have cost that much money with a CLEAR message of its demise for future years. It was already developed; how shortsighted? If anyone finds a better alternative for the 2026 Tax Season, I appeal that you post it here. I think the REAL customers have the ability to send INTUIT packing to the Food Lines. My church would be happy to include them in our Food Pantry once they're out of jobs. It's apparent that they don't listen to or care for their customer's needs, just their own fiscal welfare.

If you received a Form 1099-NEC instead of a W-2 to report "difficulty of care" income, enter the form as follows:   Select Wages and Income from Tax Home. Under Less Common Income, select Start or Revisit next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C. Select Start or Revisit next to Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099. Select Nontaxable Medicaid waiver payments not reported on a W-2 or 1099 on the screen Types of wages you received.  Continue to the Certain nontaxable Medicaid waiver payments not reported on Form W-2 or 1099 screen. Enter the amount of Medicaid waiver payments received. If the 1099 shows zero, enter the actual amount received. Finish entering the rest of your income.   Please see this TurboTax help article for more information. Each state or agency may have different ways of reporting the income to the caregiver.   When you get to the Earned Income Credit section in Deductions & Credits, we’ll ask if you want to add your Medicaid waiver payment to your income for this credit. You can answer based on what benefits you most. However, you may need to include difficulty-of-care or Medicaid waiver payments as income on your state return. For example, Pennsylvania requires this even though the payments aren't taxed by the federal government. These steps will ensure your exempt income is reported accurately while still allowing you to e-file your return. 

It appears @AmyC was using TurboTax Desktop since she referenced 'Forms' mode. The option to view Forms is not available in TurboTax Online. TurboTax Online is easy to use and in many ways very versatile, thank you for the update.   You have access to all forms when you choose to print your return in TurboTax Online/Mobile.  However you are required to pay before printing, but do not have to file until you are ready. Can I print a copy of my return in TurboTax Online before filing? If you are using TurboTax Desktop you can switch to Forms and review all forms and worksheets.   @holemanr1 

So if I'm understanding this article correctly, say most my work is outside of my home, but I have a 'home office' space in my home with a computer and other stuff I use only for work related stuff like invoicing, bookkeeping, etc, then that would qualify as a principal place of business, and all the miles I drove for work would be tax deductible?

Thank you. By capital loss I meant for my kids when they file future taxes where they may have profit in the near future; would it be beneficial for them for that reason if I filed? Just want to weigh the pros and cons for filing vs. not filing. Thank you.

Called on Friday again, wasted another 2+ hours in discussing the payment issue, asked my update windows to the latest version, and deleted the state tax, check license status.  They even used intuit meeting to see my full screen. finally they admit they can not solve it. 

Leave the form blank in all of the columns for the months in which you did not have Marketplace insurance. Do not enter zeros.    Please see this help article for more information on entering Form 1095-A information in TurboTax.          

As of today, 2/28/26, this form is not correctly calculating my credit for installation of a heat pump hot water heater.  I should be getting the full $2000 but it shows either I don't qualify or only get $600.  Will this be corrected soon?????

I have the same problem. Here is enough data for you to verify the error. First, the law is that if your AGI  > $150K then your estimated tax payments for this year should be 110% of this year's taxes (as this poster stated). But my taxable income exceeds $150K, while the total estimated tax payments  (TurboTax lists) is only 90% of this year's taxes.  And it's done it to me the previous two years.  So like this poster I've faces a underpayment fee.

You will want to enter as Other Taxable Income.   If you want to enter the 1099-MISC, you will have to go through the questions carefully so TurboTax will report Miscellaneous income and not create the Self-Employment forms.     You can also add as Other taxable income to avoid the steps. Under Less Common Income select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C  On the Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income, Start Other Reportable Income On the Any other Taxable income? page, select Yes On the next page, click on the Add button Enter the information on the Other taxable income (I would use 1099-MISC with Payer's Name here as Description)
