This is very frustrating. California Amended returns can be e-filed, but Turbo Tax is not giving an option to mail the Amended return in. I have used all my allowed e-files for family, and I do not want to purchase the professional edition just for this one return.

We have been renting a building for business purposes for 17 years but renovated before moving in,  and therefore lots of leasehold improvements that we have depreciated over the years.  Just before our lease ended last summer, we had to do a bunch more renovating/repairs (due to aging, not misuse) that we agreed to with the owner.  Do we add that amount to the leasehold improvements or simple contribute it to repairs.  

How do I wire Oklahoma NR form 500-B if none of your associates/experts I spoke with know what it is, and it is not in your data base?  I need to wire this verification of withholding form to get my refund!

I bought a condo in 2005, converted it 12 years later to a rental property in 2017, and sold it in 2024. Is the "Business Portion" of the asset sale 100%, or is it the % of time it was a rental from 2017-2024? If it's the latter, it would be a rental for 7 of the 19 years of ownership which is 36.8% business portion.   More data: 11/2005 - condo purchased for 304k   1/2017 - condo rented out - I could have sold at that point in time for around 220k (loss due to housing crash in 2008); At that time I used that value of 220k for FMV.   8/2024 - tenant moved out; unit vacant until sale   12/2024 - condo sold for 265k   Condo was sold for a loss compared to what I initially paid. But it seems like turbotax is using the 220k estimate from 2017 when it converted to a rental to calculate a gain on my sale. I'm hoping I can accurately claim the 36.8% business portion as taking a loss on the sale of the property and then paying taxes on a "gain" is brutal. Should I go back to 2017 and change my FMV? I'm confused how I can pay on a gain that isn't really a gain; can anyone explain that to me? More info below:   My 4797 looks as follows:   Part I, line 2 - gross sales price (d) 90,618; cost or other basis (f) 71,181; gain (g) 19,437 line 6 gain - 54,628 line 7 combination gain - 74,065   Part 3, line 20 - gross sales price - 171,882 line 21 - cost or other basis plus expense of sale - 160,195 line 22 depreciation - 42,941 line 23 adjusted basis - 117,254 line 24 total gain - 54,628

My college student dependent went through the process of filling out forms to change her tax status to dependent and resubmitted her taxes and they were approved. My taxes were correct, but when I resubmit the same way, it continues to reject mine.

These are the same 1099-Rs that I have been using for years. I donot understand now why the IRS is rejecting the taxes for this reason. I have double checked all information is still the same from last year.
