I always contribute the max to my Traditional IRA. Now Turbo Tax says it is not allowed based on my earnings. How do I resolve this? Does this mean I did not earn enough for the max contribution?

Hi all, I had a quick question regarding Form D-40b in DC. I lived in Virginia for all of tax year 2024 (moved there in 2023), but my employer withheld taxes for DC for half of the year, at which point the mistake was corrected, and Virginia taxes began to be withheld. As such, I had 2 state W-2s, one for Virginia and the other for DC, both of which show the state taxes withheld for each state. While completing my state returns, I selected that I was a non-resident for DC. As such, I was prompted to file form D-40b, Non-Resident Request for Refund. However, I read somewhere that I had to file the D-40b along with a signed tax return, and this caused a bit of confusion for me. My questions are: Can I mail form D-40b to DC by itself, without a tax return (since I did not live in DC at all during 2024, and as such, should not qualify to file taxes)? Would my submission of the D-40b form, along with a copy of my DC W-2 as directed in the instructions, be generally sufficient for my filing obligations with DC? Thank you in advance for your help!

Two options:
1. If part of the Q will be taxable, enter the Q first then add the expenses. As you go through the program, it will ask about room and board.
2. If the Q is fully used on 529 qualified Room and Board (including students living at home) and Qualified Education Expenses - Internal Revenue Service then the nontaxable transaction should not be entered. IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education states:
Page 45: Don't report tax-free distributions (including qualifying rollovers) on your tax return.

Click here to file an extension. Remember an extension is just for extra time to file, not extra time to pay. If you are going to owe anything, you will still need to pay by April 15th.
You can pay directly via the IRS website which is the recommended way or you can pay by check. Be sure to include your SSN on your check and the tax year.

Extensions only give you more time to file. If you have a balance due, then you should make a payment with your extension.

Hi, I'm using Turbo Tax Online premium live and trying to do my home office calculations. It tells me to use the IRS Business Use of homeworksheet and says I need to attach that to my return, but the TurboTax link just takes me straight back to the start of doing my taxes. I can get the IRS publication and have done it offline for years, but don't see any way to access a worksheet or attach it to my return. Can anyone orient me? Thanks.

Yes, you can claim wife without a SSN or ITIN but not your child. Your child must have a SSN or ITIN in order to be claimed as a dependent according to the IRS.
