You would think they would make that clear but when you trace the source of line 12, they point you to Schedule A bottom line which shows the wrong figure. I have itemized a "Qualified Disaster Loss" so not clear at all as they take the loss part along w/ the standard deduction! This year's TT is horrible - seems to be getting worse each year! I could not enter foreign income at all and had to do it via forms not step-by-step! And why do some windows scroll and others not when they both have scrollable widgets? Lots of redundant questions and lack of pulling info from last year's form as well.

Before you continue with a return for Ohio, you should clarify the two conflicting statement you have made regarding the self-employment income.   In your initial question you stated you received a 1099-NEC 'for work performed in Ohio'.  If this is true, then you do need to file the Ohio return.   Then, in a more recent response you stated that the 1099-NEC is self-employment income 'from an Ohio source'.  If the work was not performed in Ohio, but in West Virginia where you are a resident, then no Ohio return is required.  You would not file an Ohio return just because the income is coming from an Ohio source.     That being said, to answer your questions if you do need to file the Ohio return, the requirement that one spouse should be a non-resident of Ohio and has no income from Ohio would apply to your situation based on the information that you shared.  Also, the Married Filing Separate Federal return that was created in order to file the Married Filing Separate Ohio return should be included since it shows how the numbers on the Ohio return were derived.   @macck 
I’ve reached out to former employer and no response and I filed a complaint with the IRS

I have to itemize my deductions this year because my wife, who files a separate return needs to itemize her dedications.  I have two Limited Partnerships to enter this year and one of them won't sent the K-1 until June or July, so filed an extension.  I won't complete entry of the K-1s until the second one comes in.     I have less itemized deductions than the standard deduction, but have to itemize.  The deductions are more than the 7.5% threshold to deduct them on Schedule A.  I found that Turbotax was using my uncompleted K-1s to figure the Medicare Part B and Long Term Care Premiums, and had different threshold limits.  I had to "force" the entries on Schedule A in order for Turbotax to include them to with Medical and Dental Expenses.  They are not part of the K-1 returns and I think this is a bug in Turbotax 2024 Premium.  I'll complete the K-1 entries when I file my final tax returns later this summer.  Not sure why Turbotax wanted to include them in the K-1 return?  This took a while to make work.   I appreciate your reply above.  Hope I've handled this correctly.  I tried to call Turbotax for help, but couldn't get through on the telephone.  Probably too close to the filing deadline.

To locate this amount, you can check a couple of places to find last year's state/local refund as suggested in this link.   Once you have the amount, follow the steps here to enter it into TurboTax.

In October 2024, I quit my job and started a new job in November 2024. During that time I set up new retirement account with them. The Guideline platform asked how much have I already contributed in 2024. I put the wrong total. That is why I was able to contribute more than I should. I think that is why I did not received 1099-R from Guideline since they did not think I exceed deferrals. So no when adding all the contributions listed on my W-2 I get a number above the limit. Guideline platforms says I exceed the deadline to remove excess contributions.

Per your instructions and the mailing address on 2024 IRS Form 8453, I mailed form 8453 certified mail retrun recept requested and the supporting documents on 3/25/2024 which was the day after the IRS accepted my taxes.  The post office still has no updates when I check the tracking number.  The envelope has not been delivered and I have not received the return receipt.  It was mailed to Internal Revenue Service, Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254, Receipt and Control Branch, Austin, TX   73344-0254.   What is the problem.  I have seen comments that the address is wrong.  Hasn't the IRS put out a new address????  If the address is wrong it makes no sense to mail it again to the same address.

Yes, you may file as Head of Household.   You can claim a child, relative, friend, fiancé(e), and so on as a dependent on your 2024 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements:   Qualifying child: They're related to you. They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a US citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students). There's no age limit for permanently and totally disabled children. They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply; e.g., away at school; in a care facility where they lived during the year). They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.   When you add someone as a dependent, the program will ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them. There may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.   For more information, see this helpful TurboTax article: Guide to Filing Taxes as Head of Household   I'm very sorry for the loss of your Mom.

Hi all,   My siblings and I inherited property from our father, who passed early last year. We had the property appraised at $400k for potential cost basis purposes a few months later, and put the house on the market towards the end of 2024.   It finally sold early last month at $370k. One of my siblings is the executor and should have access to the bill of sale, etc. We each received $100k up front, with a potential $14k additional, once taxes on the estate have been figured out.   I'm trying to figure out what information/forms I need to have to show the government what the cost basis was for this sale so they don't just assume it was earned income or something. Do I need a copy of the bill of sale, plus the appraisal to show that the house was sold "below cost basis"?   Any information would  be super helpful, thanks!
