If you were only present in the US for 179 on the H1b Visa, then you would not have met the substantial presence test and would not be considered a resident for tax purposes.  Therefore, you would need to file a 1040-NR.  TurboTax does not support the 1040-NR however, our partner Sprintax.com does.    Since you will be staying here on the H1b visa throughout 2026, you would meet the residency requirements to file as Resident Alien for 2026. 

The online version of TT reports a need for more information if I choose multiple states and do not enter details. I'm in Vermont. No tax-exempt interest came from my state or US territories. I'll try the desktop version

You said "Enter the property tax you paid in 2024" I think you meant 2025!   I suggest you close TurboTax Clear Cache & Cookies Do a hard reboot (shut the computer all the way down) Power up and try again Please report back with the result.

The amounts on the estimated tax payment vouchers is considered to be estimated based on the assumption that income and tax withholding will remain the same from year to year.  However, the need to make estimated tax payments is based on actual income and tax withholding.  Failure to timely pay an amount to satisfy one of the underpayment safe-harbors results in an underpayment penalty.  When tax withholding is insufficient, estimated tax payments are needed to make up the difference, although the amount necessary might be different that what TurboTax estimated..   Maryland tax payments follow essentially the same rules as federal tax payments described here: https://www.irs.gov/payments/underpayment-of-estimated-tax-by-individuals-penalty

It sounds like you are referring to the Renter's Credit on a Minnesota tax return.     If you forgot to include this on your tax return, you'll need to amend your return per MN Department of Revenue. For help with amending a state return, see How do I amend my state tax return?   In order to enter the information in TurboTax for the Renter's Credit, you go through the MN interview until you see the screen Other Minnesota Credits.  The first option is Renter's Credit.  Select this and continue. You'll need to confirm you meet some requirements, then you can enter information from the Certificate of Rent Paid.

TurboTax is in the process of enhancing CSV import and upload features to make this process more seamless.   Timeline: We expect the new CSV import functionality to be available by mid-February. Please note that this is an estimated target as we finalize the experience. Supported Documents: Once live, the import/upload feature will support both 1099-DA and DigitalAssetGainLoss files. If you are ready to file now, you can still enter your information manually. Otherwise, thank you for your patience while we get these automated tools ready for you!   @summerscarol
