I am in the same boat because both my back up external drive (which is now mysteriously empty and not because of password protection) and my previous hard drive are gone. My MacBook Pro died in December and despite assurances, Apple destroyed my hard drive) which I would NEVER have sent in had I known. This is a HUGE defect in Turbotax.

I just tested this on my Mac using exactly the same steps. I have both the beginning and ending inventory entry fields. See screenshot below:     I don't know why you are not getting the Beginning Inventory field on your Mac. If you were able to resolve this by entering it in Forms, then your issue appears to be resolved.    If you have trouble with any other entry fields, try some basic troubleshooting steps:   You might try saving and exiting the return, exiting TurboTax and reopening the return.  Try rebooting your device. See this help article for troubleshooting steps for Mac issues.   If after trying all of the options mentioned you still have the same problem:   See this help article for instructions on how to contact TurboTax customer support depending on which product you are using.    @Amy2010 

It depends. Form 1099-NEC indicates self employment income, receiving income for services you perform as an independent person or contractor and not an employee. The business name is your name and your address. The income would be subject to personal income tax and self employment tax (social security and medicare taxes).  If you have any ordinary, necessary and reasonable expenses for your type of business you can also enter expenses that allowed you to earn the income. What self employment expenses can I deduct? Personal income tax will be the rate at which your income combined falls in the tax tables (up to $100,000 in taxable income). Self employment tax is your net profit from your business (income from Form 1099-NEC less expenses) is calculated as follows: net profit x .9235 x .153 = self employment tax.  Personal income tax and self employment tax will be your combined tax liability on line 24, Form 1040. If you have more details and questions please add them here and we will help.

If your contribution is now recovered, your pension is 100% taxable, there is no rule to be applied. If your contributions were not recovered in 36 months, you used the wrong rule.   @kickitagain   

I have the exact same issue. Do we know if the mailing address provided is truly wrong? Perhaps, the people who would normally be at that address to receive our mail have been fired?? I mailed my 8453 form and supporting documents on 4/7/25, certified. USPS tracking says the same as you, Available for Pickup, meaning can't be delivered. I also mailed, certified, my Q1 estimated taxes, to a different address, on 4/7/25. That hasn't been delivered yet either. Headed to Louisville, KY. That address may have weather problems. USPS says "Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility". I'm pretty sure the payment will be received and cashed.....

Curious when Intuit will realize charging the filing fee for states is a major lost revenue oppty.  I will NEVER pay a filing fee to save me state processing costs.  So instead of nickel and diming the customers, Intuit should be selling to the states to cover these costs/fees to save the states money and improve their customer (us!) satisfaction with this product.  First tax software company to do this will own the market !!!!!!!

You can enter more than one 1095-A in TurboTax if members of your household have received individual forms, or if you received more than one:   Here's how to enter multiple 1095-As in TurboTax: Open or continue your return. Navigate to the 1095-A section: TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to 1095-A. TurboTax Desktop: Search for 1095-a, then select the Jump to link. Answer Yes and enter your 1095-A info on the next screen. We don't need all the info from your 1095-A. We'll only ask about the info that affects your return. After you finish, you can click add another.  

No, you cannot enter 2023 tax data on a 2024 tax return.  The TurboTax online editions are Only for tax year 2024   To complete and file a 2023 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2023 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/   A 2023 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.  

In general. you are not taxed on workers' compensation benefits received for a work-related injury or illness. However, if you receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits in addition to workers' compensation, a portion of those benefits may be taxable if the combined payments exceed certain income thresholds, according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA).    When a taxpayer qualifies to receive both workers' compensation and Social Security benefits (or SSDI), then the Social Security Administration (SSA) typically reduces the recipient's benefits through a calculation that takes into account all of the benefits the beneficiary is receiving from all government agencies, federal and state. This reduction is described as an offset.   If the total amount of these benefits exceeds 80% of your average current earnings, the excess amount is deducted from your Social Security benefit.    The IRS taxes you on the FULL amount of the Social Security Benefit, even if it has been reduced by Workers Compensation. The amount listed in Box 5 of your Form SSA-1099 is entered into TurboTax. If the offset reduced your benefits, this would already be taken into account when the SSA calculated your Box 5.     Click here for  How Workers’ Compensation and Other Disability Payments May Affect Your Benefits.      

This is due to a potential mismatch in form W-2, Box 18 (local wages) value on your state and/or local return. Double check Box 18 (local wages) of each of your form W-2 in the Wages & Salaries topic under Income or Federal. Change Box 18 to ensure it matches what is on your W-2, and follow the steps to file your state and/or local returns.    Try using the amount in Box 5/Medicare wages and tips for Box 18/Local wages. For Box 20 Locality name, enter the primary local tax location name.
