Turbo tax made it easy to pay estimated federal tax and defer filing until Oct. 15. How do I do that for the state return?

State ID for all states?  The state ID number will be different for EACH EMPLOYER, not just for the state.  All the employers don't use the same #.   How would Turbo Tax know that?  The only state ID that Turbo Tax would know is the 2 letter like CA for California, NY for New York etc.

No, if she's married and live away from you, she will not qualify as your dependent.

I found the same situation, and the problem with the working sheet line5, it should add line 1 and line4, not line 3 and line4. The description is the gross income from Schedule C, it should be line1, not the percent income on line 3. I talked with the Agent, they won't do anything to correct the mistake. With this obvious mistake, they won't do anything, it is really frustrating.  What is your situation?

For Virginia, you can file a joint non-resident return or you can file a separate non-resident return there for just yourself. You would have to try it both ways to see which is best. If you file jointly, you would get credit on your North Carolina return for taxes paid on the same income in Virginia so you wouldn't be double taxed.   To do the separate return in Virginia, you would need to prepare a separate federal return in TurboTax just for yourself in order to generate the state return. Then, you just file the state return. You may find it better to use the TurboTax desktop product as you can do multiply returns with it.

I think it sucks that you’ve gone to NOT selling a CD and only offer it as a download, and THEN make you pay MORE for a CD if you want the program on a CD.  Ive already paid for this program TWICE because the stupid store I bought it from gave me the DISPLAY BOX and NOT the program with an activation code and I live 3 hrs away from that store to return it, so had to buy another one.  Then had LOTS of problems downloading it, and. NOW you want me to pay another $10 to get a CD!!  I wish y’all would’ve left it like it was.  Give the customer the option of owning a CD or just downloading it!!  What happens if I delete it from my computer and then have to go back in to file an amended return or something?  I have to download it all over again!! I think y’all are being greedy just like Amazon and Apple.
Hi There. My wife is a student and will graduate only next year (2026). Do I need to worry about deciding to fill jointly or separately this year or only for the year  she will graduate?

A repayment of the same benefits you received in 2024 (received and paid back in the same year) are not taxable. Your SSA-1099 should reflect this.  The SSA should have offset your benefits in box 5 by any amount you repaid in 2024 in box 4.   Since yours does not, you should get a corrected form but seem unable to achieve this. This leaves you in a grey area.  You can enter the repayment in box 4 and wait for the IRS to ask questions. You have the proof or repayment and apparently a phone log along with this forum to back up your position.   Reference: IRS Publication 915
