Apologies, forgot to add the questions:   Is the withholding only on the bonus correct? eg do I owe NYS tax on the annual bonus amount? What do I do regarding the lack of AZ identification on my W2? Is it an issue?

No, for a couple of reasons. For one, you are not generating income so there is no income to deduct the expense from. You may be getting a credit on your electric bill, but that is a reduction in your utility bill which is a non-deductible expense.   Also, you likely got an energy credit when you installed the solar energy equipment, and if so you can't use the same expense to generate a tax deduction, as you already used it to generate the tax credit.
Your best option is to choose "Other Portfolio Income" as this is the most common entry for Box 11 Code A.

I am a non-voluntary remote employee. I moved from NYS in 2023. In 2024, my company erroneously withheld NYS and NYC income tax. I had to file with a corrected W2 removing the taxes to NYS (it tooks months for my company to correct). I had to file extensions and when all was said and done, Arizona corrected my filing using the original W2, not the corrected. Still working on resolving this.   2024 w2 shows NYS withholding only on my annual bonus. Is this correct? How do I file? Also, my W2 indicates TOTAL STATE withholding, but State is empty until you get to the NYS income and withholding which is less then the TOTAL STATE. Additionally, The TOTAL STATE amount is the correct total of what was withheld on  my paycheck stubs that include both the NYS amount and the AZ amount (Arizona withholding is explicitly stated on the stub).

To Whom It May Concern:   I installed and registered my TurboTax 2924 on the same computer I have used in the past years.  I've started to input data, but that computer is old and unreliable.  I have downloaded it on my newer/improved computer, but it is asking for my License Code.  Since I have registered once it won't let me register another device.  Question: How can I unregister my code for the old/unreliable computer so that I may use the license code for the newer/improved computer I intend to use for 2024 Tax Reporting?   Thank you,  Tom
Yes.  As an individual, even engaged in a hobby, you do not have to issue a 1099 to people who do work for you.

I moved from Baltimore County, MD to York County, PA on 3/17/25.   My employer is in Baltimore City.    When do I fill MW507 form (line 5 & 6) with my employer so that Maryland State and Maryland local taxes aren't withheld, so I am not doubled taxed in both states? 
Here's a FAQ: How do I import my 1099s
I cannot find it in find my refund website. How can I track this?

Thank you SO much for your reply!  I am still confused, however, because when I go to "Other Tax Situations"- it actually says that based on my entries, I don't have a penalty for underpayment.  BUT then when I am looking at my state (Michigan) return, it is showing $1679 as my underpayment of estimated tax.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I should have added more information.  I was actually trying to enter an overseas shares sale for which I did not receive a 1099-B.  In the end, I simply created a paper pseudo-copy of a 1099-B and then transferred the details into TT as instructed by the menu for inherited stock with no details reported to the IRS, and it worked just fine.

TurboTax will prepare estimated tax vouchers for both Federal and State if you specifically request that in the program.    The California section, Estimated Taxes for Next Year under Other Forms, provides entry screens with information about your Federal and California income, and an entry field for 2025 estimated income, as well as entry fields to estimate deductions and credits, including California credits such as the Renter's Credit. You should still be able to access this section after you file.
