You would definitely amend yours. For each child, determine how much income is added to their return. Will it make a tax liability over $25? If yes, amend. If no, don't bother. The IRS would rather now waste their time on smaller amounts. @Anon_12

I invested $500,000 in a hedge fun in 2024 for which I received a K-1. The current year net income (loss) was 81,732 and Ending Capital Account was 581,732.   Total Income is as follows: Interest Income:$1,721 (Box 5) Dividend Income: $24 (Box 6a, 6b) Other Income: $86,978 (Box 11, Code ZZ: SECTION 475(F) INCOME) Total: $88,723 Total Deductions were:  Interest Expense on Investment Debts: $2,844 (Box 13, H) TRADER EXPENSES: $4,147 (Box 13, Code ZZ) Total: $6,991 When I put this into turbotax, I am taxed on the full $88,723 and do not get any of the deductions.  I’ve printed out my return and the $6,991 does not show up anywhere, I just have the $86,978 reported on Form 8949, Part II, the $1,721 and $24 of interest/dividends reported on Schedule B.   Why I am not taxed on the “NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SCHEDULE K-1” of $81,732 (which is the $88,723 less $6,991 in deductions)? Where can I input this into TurboTax to reduce my income from this partnership?  
I am getting "error needs review" messages regarding a stock sale reported by Goldman Sachs on my 2024 1099-B.  This is a "wash sale."  The 1099-B shows a "date acquired" of 12/22/2023, and "date sol... See more...
I am getting "error needs review" messages regarding a stock sale reported by Goldman Sachs on my 2024 1099-B.  This is a "wash sale."  The 1099-B shows a "date acquired" of 12/22/2023, and "date sold" of 7/30/2020.  I get an error message that the "date acquired" must be after the "date sold."  Per previous posts, I'm guessing this is some sort of "put" option, so I reversed the dates. Now, however, I get an error message that the "date sold" must be in the tax year (i.e., 2024). How do I get around this, when I am just trying to enter the dates that Goldman Sachs reported on their 1099-B?
This is a matter of your personal preference.  The information is just collected for statistics and doesn't affect the calculation of the return.

Hey, I hired a private tutor to teacj calculus for my high schooler who is  a junior (11th grade) in high school. Are those expenses deductible in IL?
If she worked in Florida, it would be "making money in another state", but Florida does not have a personal income tax so she will only have to report and pay in her resident state Ohio.

Yes that was right! I appreciate your answer. For self note : in Step 2-8: "Select I did a combination of rolling over, converting, or cashing out the money. Then, enter the full amount in the box next to Amount converted to a Roth IRA account and Continue." -> select the second box "Amount converted to a Roth IRA account", not the first one for the rollover!
Are you trying to get a copy of a blank Form 1065 to complete the return or are you trying to get a copy of the 1065 that had already been prepared?

If what you are saying is correct, that means that the employer has reported incorrect information to the IRS on the W-2.   You may be able to amend the income tax return using your final paystub in December 2024 to generate a 'substitute W-2'.   A substitute W-2 may be prepared using your final paycheck of December 2024.   Enter as if entering a W-2.  At the screen Let's check for uncommon situations, select Didn't get a W-2 or received an incorrect W-2.   See TurboTax Help.   If your return has been transmitted and accepted by the IRS, you may amend your Federal 1040 tax return.   If you used TurboTax Online, log in to your account and select Amend a return that was filed and accepted.   If you used the CD/download product, sign back into your return and select Amend a filed return.    See also this TurboTax Help.   Retain copies of everything in your tax return file.  This will likely not be resolved easily or quickly.

The percentages that you should enter for your premium, your SLCSP, and your advance payment should be an amount that everyone agrees upon.  It could be 34/33/33, 50/25/25, or another amount.    Just make sure you are in agreement and that the percentages on all tax returns add up to 100% together.  The program will calculate the information that should be on your return based on your answers.   For more information, see this TurboTax FAQ: I'm on my parents' 1095-A form. What do I do on my return?

Thanks for your response. I should have clarified what type of K-1 I received -  It is a K-1 form 1041 for a trust. In box 14, there is a letter "I" and on an attached statement it has $270 as section 199A dividends. Again this value does not show up on form 8995 with my brokerage 199A dividends.
When you need to load previous year cannot load previous year. They are on external drive mapped through a drive letter. This is not uncommon.
You can right click on line 27B Schedule C and override the 0 that is in the box by default.
