When you get to the end of preparing your taxes and after you pay the fees to TurboTax but BEFORE YOU FILE THEM you will have the option to print/view your tax return.  You can download a pdf of the complete return and still go back and change things before you submit.   @debomb14 

You will need to create a schedule C for this.  You can enter the 1099-MISC as the income and then you can enter the actual expenses for the percentage of your home that is your home office and that will reduce or eliminate your taxable income from this subsidy.   @rar31966 

Thank you.  That makes the most sense of all the things I've read about this.  My plan is to mark myself ineligible, eat the pay-cut from the loss of their contributions for the year, and then adjust my withholding (or trad/roth contributions) to account for the added taxable income.  As for spending the money, I'm sure that won't be an issue.

If there are no state income taxes being withheld in box 17 then leave boxes 15, 16 and 17 blank on the W-2. If the program still gives an error then delete the W-2 and re-enter manually to clear the error.

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.    You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return. Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected. You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment Select your product below and follow the instructions.  Amend TurboTax Online  Amend TurboTax CD/Download 

What is the error message that you are receiving?   Also, it's always a good idea to clear your cache and cookies if the program isn't performing properly.   Here's how to delete your cookies.   Here's how to clear your cache.   @cccosma 

Thank you for your response. However, I must emphasize that the issue here is not an IRS error or miscalculation, but that TurboTax misled me as a non-resident alien (NRA) into using a product that is not designed to support Form 1040-NR, which is the required form for my tax status. TurboTax allowed me to complete and pay for a return that is invalid for my residency status. This is not a simple technical error — it is a fundamental product suitability issue. I was not properly warned or blocked from continuing, even though TurboTax clearly does not support non-resident filings. As a result, I unknowingly filed an incorrect return and am now facing a highly stressful situation with potentially serious consequences. I respectfully ask: why must I wait for the IRS to respond before TurboTax acknowledges this as a refund-eligible situation? The error occurred at the point of product selection and usage — not due to an IRS notice. This experience has already wasted a significant amount of my time, caused considerable stress, and already  required professional amending of my tax return. I am requesting a full refund of $143, in accordance with the TurboTax Satisfaction Guarantee. Please escalate this matter if necessary. I would greatly appreciate a prompt resolution.

The return will need to be amended to report the correct EIN on Schedule K-1.    From the IRS perspective, a different taxpayer received the incorrect K-1. The name and EIN won't match their records, so it needs to be corrected.    The investor should receive the corrected K-1 for their tax records. As long as the income & deductions on the K-1 didn't change, the investor doesn't need to file an amended return. If the IRS has questions, the corrected K-1 will explain the discrepancy.

For TurboTax Business: 1) You may include the New Jersey income tax withholding as Supplemental Information using Box 13 Code ZZ Line 3 "State income tax withheld."   Using Box 13 Code ZZ will create a note on the NJ Schedule NK-1 that references the federal K-1 supplemental information provide by your investment.   For TurboTax Desktop: 2) When you enter the federal K-1 with Box 13 Code ZZ, you will see a page where you can enter Line 3 (state tax withholding). You don't need to enter this amount anywhere else on your 1040 return.   During the Partnership/K-1 interview for your New Jersey individual return, look for "Schedule NJK-1" and the question about Part III. The top box is for "Share of New Jersey Tax." Enter the amount from the NJK-1 supplemental information here.
