I'm doing the taxes for my child who lived in one state and went to school in another (MA).  I've completed the Federal return and have moved on to the MA state one (first) since that is non-resident.  The software is allowing me to take a student loan deduction in MA but... is that correct?  Not sure if it matters, but their earnings were about 65% in MA and 35% in their home state.  Just want to make sure I am doing things right.  TIA!

Hi all,   I contributed to my Roth IRA in 2024 without realizing I would not be eligible when Married Filing Separately. I ended up recharacterizing this money to a Traditional IRA in early 2025. Because it was done before tax day, is this a reportable recharacterization? Or would it be treated as if the money was always in the Traditional IRA?   I then did a backdoor Roth conversion in 2025 for 2024 but waiting for my 1099-R to come next year to report the conversion.   Thank you in advance

I bought the download for Turbo Tax Home and Office. Then, while I'm doing my taxes, it won't let me use the home office or other features. So, it forces me to pay for the upgrade again. Then, when I pay for it, it won't load the features, but instead gives me a message about needing to upload the state tax software. So, I do that, it won't let me proceed with my return. By the way, the way it forced me to pay again was to present a window saying that if I had already upgraded I needed to submit my license key, but when I click on the button to submit it, it gives me a error code and kicks me back to the place were it invites me to upgrade. So, now I'd dead in the water and there is no real customer service.   Intuit software is fantastic, but they are so skeevy when it comes to tricking their clients into spending more money.
