The credit rate percentage under a Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) typically falls between 10% and 50% of the qualified mortgage interest paid2. This percentage is determined by the issuing government agency and is used to calculate the mortgage interest credit, which can help reduce a homeowner’s tax liability.   If you’re looking for your specific credit rate, it should be listed on the MCC you received when purchasing your home

You should use the corrected W-2 numbers on your tax return. The excess taxes will be returned to your employer when the corrected payroll forms are submitted by your employer. So, the IRS will find out about the excess when your employer submits the corrected W-2 form and associated payroll tax returns. Then, your employer will have to reimburse you for the excess taxes you paid in.

You can deduct 2024 capital losses up to the amount of your 2024 capital gains plus $3,000 ($1,500 if married filing separately).   You may be able to use capital losses that exceed this limit in future years.   How are capital gains and losses calculated?   You can't choose which tax years to apply your carryover to.   Carryovers from this year's return must be applied to next year's. If you copied last year's return over in TurboTax, we automatically include the carryovers.   But it's a good idea to keep a written record of your expected carryover amounts to compare against your return.

The two documents are very useful; thanks. For California: MY CPA told me to report the realized earnings each year but not the unrealized gains for California . When I take a distribution do i report the GAIN portion of the distribution and subtract the earnings I had declared to CA (ie FTB) in the past. According to the two PDS, RRSP  distributions are not taxed in CA - but  i assume that is if i had declared the unrealized gains each year.   For Federal Q. Does Federal tax the whole distribution or only the gain portion of the distribution? Since i got no tax advantage from USA IRA when I contributed to RRSP in Canada shouldn't i be taxed only on the gain (as with traditional IRA)?

Wait,   You bought and installed the Basic version?  Do you need to do a state return?   Basic doesn’t come with the state program download.   So you have to buy a state extra.  And there maybe some other differences from the higher Desktop programs.  But yes All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.
