With all due respect Robert, that doesn't answer my very specific and somewhat nuanced question.  As a citizen of Canada and the USA and now Italy, where I am living and a tax resident, I of course understand that I have a filing obligation in the USA too because that is citizenship based.  Not so in Canada, where I haven't resided for many years and have no tax filing responsibility.  My question relates to Form 1116 and the FTC and how to accurately address the Canadian sourced interest income.  Of course Italy will tax my worldwide interest income because I am tax resident there.  The USA will of course provide a FTC for the tax that I pay on my USA sourced interest income and I am aware that I have to "re-source" that USA based interest income on Form 1116 in order to under tax treaty essentially pretend that the USA based interest income was sourced in Italy, as that will then provide the USA FTC re tax paid on that USA based interest income paid to Italy.  It is the Canada sourced interest income and Form 1116 that I am concerned about.  Would that also be "re-sourced" by ticking that box on Form 1116 just like I am doing for the USA based interest income?  Or alternatively, would the Canada sourced interest income be considered "passive income" with that box ticked on Form 1116?  As it relates to my USA tax and the FTC, I should of course get credit for the Italian tax that I will pay on BOTH my USA sourced and my Canada sourced interest income, so this is more of a technical question as it relates to Form 1116 and what box to tick for the Canada sourced interest income.

Payment of taxes owed is not paid using wire transfer.  You either send a check with a payment voucher, direct debit from your bank account or payment with a credit card.   In the File section of the program on Step 2, if you have taxes owed there are several options on how to pay the taxes.

Age is not a factor for payment of Social Security and Medicare Taxes.  If you are not receiving a W-2 from your employer then you are Self-Employed.  If you have a net profit from the self-employment you will owe Self-Employment taxes on the income.  You pay SE Taxes of 15.3% on your SE income, which is both the employer and employee portion of SS and Medicare taxes. \

Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund.   Without knowing what problem the IRS says you have with the tax return it will be difficult to assist unless you can tell us exactly what the IRS says is a problem.

Mine came from intuit not IRS. I tried Walmart, check cashing place , boa once but the check was wrinkled so it was rejected. Re submitted and they approved the funds. Deposited one week later after a hold 

Great question! If you have a t-shirt printing business, clothing supplies (like blank t-shirts, hoodies, etc.) and printing supplies (like DTF film, ink, adhesive powder, etc.) are generally considered Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) or business expenses, depending on how your accounting is set up. If you're using an accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero, you can typically categorize them under: Cost of Goods Sold > Supplies or Expenses > Printing Supplies / Materials The idea is to keep production-related items (like what you use to make the shirts) separate from things like marketing or office expenses. For example, when using product of DTGpro the DTF Printers, all the consumables you use (film, powder, ink) would fall under production or printing supply costs—since they're directly tied to your product creation. That said, it's always good to check with an accountant to make sure it aligns with your local tax laws and business structure.

technically you don't import your 2023 tax return data. rather it's a transfer. you need the xxxx.tax2023 file on your computer. when you open the 2024 app, you click on the link to start a new return to enable the app to search for the 2023 tax file. if it doesn't find it you can use the browse link to find it. once found click on the link to transfer return. 

I have been a loyal TurboTax user for the past eight years. However, my experience this year has been extremely disappointing. When the IRS sent my refund to your partner bank, there was no issue deducting their fees—even with supposed "suspicious activity." Yet, when it came to depositing the remaining funds into my account, my refund was withheld, causing significant inconvenience. After researching the situation, I was surprised to find that this has happened to many others as well. Unfortunately, this reflects very poorly on TurboTax. I will not be using your services moving forward. According to the information provided, it may take 10–12 weeks for the refund to be returned to the IRS, at which point I’ll be issued a paper check. That timeline is unacceptable. Direct deposit takes minutes—not months. The notion that your bank can immediately deduct funds while delaying the return of the remainder raises serious ethical concerns. I’m deeply disappointed with the level of customer service and the excessive fees, especially given the lack of transparency and accountability. I genuinely feel for all the individuals who have had similar experiences. One final question: Why is it acceptable for your bank to take its portion of my refund under the guise of "suspicious activity," but not acceptable for me to receive the rest of my refund?

Use AZ Form 321.  And check for the correct Qualifying Charitable Organization Code for 2024. Organizations may come and go from the list.  If the Code is missing or wrong your AZ Tax Return may be rejected.
