The IRS uses your prior year AGI to combat fraud.      You can find your 2023 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by: Looking at line 11 on page 1 of your 2023 Form 1040 Requesting a transcript of your 2023 tax return from the IRS. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript    Please click on this TurboTax article for more information.    Check these items as well to ensure you have the correct number.  If you:  Filed late last year after mid-November or your return was processed after that time—try entering 0.  Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A).  Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less.  Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2023 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter  0  for one of you).    Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return.    This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return. 

It depends. If you are the beneficiary of your mother's portion of the estate (formerly your grandmother's)  and this is the reason you received your share of  the proceeds of the sale, you should include the sale on your individual tax return.  See the instructions below and the information about your cost basis. Do I need to file a state return? (click on Oklahoma) There would have been a stepped up basis on the home when it was sold so the fact you received $25,000 doesn't provide your with the inherited value on the date of death which would be your cost basis (your beneficiary share of the cost).    Your cost basis is the fair market value on the date of death of the decedent, plus the capital improvements (not repairs but improvements that are capital in nature).  The expenses of sale will reduce any gain or increase any loss as well. This is entered as the sale of investment property and can be entered as follows. Enter the inherited property sale in TurboTax using the steps provided.   Open or continue your return: Choose the Search box and type 'sale of second home' then use the Jump to link to enter your inherited sale) or follow the menu. In TurboTax Online select 'See more' in the FAQ then click 'sold second home'.

Estate Return: It seems there is no reason to file an estate return since there is really no money in the estate based on your comments. As far as Oklahoma is concerned you can click the link below. Most often a nonresident state return is required if you sell property that is situated there. Again, this assumes you must file your individual return since you got your share of the money and it's unclear if an estate return was filed and tax paid already.  

If you have nothing in column A, then there should be nothing in column C.  Is this Pennie? If so, for some reason they issued a bunch of 1095-A's with an amount in column C for a month people did not have coverage. The fix is to leave column A and B blank on that row.  Then you will be able to submit your return.  Since there were no premiums to pay, there should be no credit. 

Yes, if you sold the property for more than it cost you, you have a reportable taxable gain.   If there were no improvements, the basis is whatever you paid for the land in 2002.   The difference between that and what you sold it for is your long-term gain.   There is no depreciation taken on land.   Depending on your income level, your long term gains may not be taxable.     Where do I enter a capital gain or loss?

  To automatically upload your business expenses to TurboTax, you can use the TurboTax Expense Monitor. Here’s how you can do it: Connect Your Financial Accounts: Link your bank accounts and credit cards to TurboTax. This allows TurboTax to import your transactions directly. Categorize Transactions: Once your transactions are imported, you can categorize them as business, personal, or split expenses. Import to TurboTax: At tax time, you can import these categorized expenses into your TurboTax return. You can get started with the TurboTax Expense Monitor here.   Important points: You can use the TurboTax Expense Monitor at the end of the year to import your business expenses. However, it's designed to be most effective when used throughout the year.  By regularly connecting your financial accounts and categorizing transactions, you ensure that all expenses are accurately tracked and categorized, which can save you time and reduce errors at tax time1. If you  use it only at the end of the year, make sure to review and categorize all your transactions carefully before importing them into TurboTax.
