"You will enter $6,870 as Roth IRA contribution for 2024 in the IRA contribution interview ($7,000 - $130 that you withdrew by the due date)."   If that 130 earned any money, that just puts you in the same boat for 2024 as you are in for 2023. an additional excess will appear. Moreover, that means you won't have 130 2024 dollars available to offset 130 2023 dollars.   This is a bad solution unless you take out extra such as $150 or $200 as a cushion. It is still complex but more so. @pbartoli  @DanaB27 

No, you're doing it correctly!  If you end up filing a non-resident return for rental income and paid tax there, you would have a credit for out of state tax paid on your California return.    @plawlor78 

Do you have a business or are you self-employed? Your Form 1099-MISC from Morgan Stanley isn't Self-Employment income. Did Morgan Stanley give you some kind of bonus?   If you're not self-employed or have a business, delete the 1099-MISC and enter it under Other Common Income in the Income & Expenses Section. Refer to the TurboTax Help article How do I edit or delete a 1099-MISC? for navigation instructions to delete.   You can enter the income as “Other Income” so it won’t be subject to self-employment taxes.  Follow the steps below: Open TurboTax Select Federal Taxes Select Wages & Income select Start by Form 1099-MISC under Other Come Income Select Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC?

Online and Desktop version both require you to find a small add investment button this year. Once you find it, you can select what you need to add. Then you can import or type it in manually.   If you don't have investment income, the bottom right has a continue button. Reply if you need more help.

I DO NOT HAVE A PRINTER—WHAT CAN I DO?   We cannot solve your printer problem for you.  TurboTax cannot print it for you.   If you do not have a working printer,  you can access your account from any computer that has internet access and print your return. Or save it to a flash drive.   Perhaps you need to see if a friend or relative can let you print from a computer with a printer.  Or print it at a UPS place or Staples, etc.  

Took a long time BUT we found where to enter IRA distribution for a one-time HSA Funding Contribution.  They really call it HSA Funding Distribution which seems odd.  Anyway, on Form 1099-R Distribution from Pensions, IRA, etc. go to the Insurance section.  The middle choice is Amount of health savings account (HSA) funding distributions to enter your number. By doing this it is recorded as HFD on line 4B of the 1040.  HFD is an acronym for HSA Funding Distribution.

You want the Other Reportable Income entry.   After you choose the 1099-A/1099-C option, scroll all the way down to the last option in the list - it will be Other Reportable Income.   You can search for other reportable income (use that exact phrase) and use the Jump to other reportable income link in the search results.
