First, check that your printer is working by printing something else.   Here are some other general troubleshooting steps you can take: Shut your computer and printer down for 30 seconds, then turn them back on. Make sure your printer and computer have all updates installed. If using TurboTax Desktop, make sure you've downloaded all updates. You can also try this: 1)  Use the "Save to PDF" option in the "File" menu of the desktop program and save a copy of your returns to location you can easily find on your computer. 2)  Open the PDF of your returns in your PDF reader program (acrobat, Preview, etc.) and use that program to print to your local printer.   Click here for How do I fix issues while printing my return?

You may be able to get a tax deduction for the sales tax paid on your major purchase. You will see that in the Deductions and Credits section, then Estimates and Other Taxes Paid, then Sales Tax. However, you will only benefit from deducting sales taxes if they are more than your state income taxes, as you can't deduct both. Also, you need to be able to benefit from itemizing your deductions for the sales tax deduction to benefit you.

 Hello, I have been trying to file my 2024 tax return using free edition of TurboTax, since I’ve been having problems getting it to let me E-file because of the $0.00 amount in box 1 of my   W-2, I am now down to the April 15th deadline unfortunately🫤 so I would very much appreciate anybody who can help me with this problem before 12(Midnight) tonight on the west coast….  The problem I am having is TurboTax won’t let me E-file because my W-2 has a $0.00 amount in box 1 because I am a live-in IHSS provider which makes my income non-taxable because I am paid in Medicaid waiver payments. I do realize this means I don’t have to file a tax return but I am filing to get the federal and state (CA) Earned income tax credit, because I can use my Medicaid waiver income to calculate my EIC. I have done hours/days of research online and in the intuit website FAQ’s section which has quite a bit of people asking this same question and tax experts answering. The only problem is there is so many different conflicting answers and methods of going about filling out my return, I am honestly confused and not sure which method to go with? I was really hoping somebody could give me a definitive, confirmed to work method. I have read the one method saying to just put $1 in BOX 1 so that it will let me E-file? I’m uncertain of doing that though because that’s not what my W-2 says and I’m afraid I.R.S will reject it? Another method says to just put the amount in BOX 3 of my W-2 which is the amount I received in Medicaid waiver payments, in BOX 1 and then in the     (UNCOMMON SITUATIONS) section, click the box that says “MEDICAID WAIVER PAYMENTS” Some people had a problem with that method saying it counted their income twice? Then someone said to enter that amount in as a negative number somewhere else in the form and then it would subtract it on line 8 of my 1040 form or something like that?? And the last method I read was to leave the $0.00 in BOX 1 and then go down to the section where it says (Other types of income) and select “MISCELLANEOUS INCOME” then enter my Medicaid waiver payments amount there and then type in the box to explain what it is (“Medicaid waiver payments”) Again, I sincerely appreciate your time and effort on this subject. Hopefully together we can figure this out before the deadline at midnight tonight. I really could use the extra money right now from the EIC to pay some bills😊

You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2024 only.   Only a 2024 return can be prepared online and only a 2024 return can be e-filed.   Online preparation and e-filing for 2021, 2022, and  2023 is permanently closed. Note:  The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a mobile device.   To file a return for a prior tax year  If you need to prepare a return for 2021, 2022, or 2023  you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign,  and mail the return(s) https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/ You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.   Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0   When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

In order to qualify as Head of Household, a person has to file an individual tax return, be considered unmarried, not be claimed on someone else's tax return, and be able to claim a qualifying dependent on your return.   The IRS also requires Head of Household filers to be "considered unmarried" as of the last day of the tax year. To be considered unmarried means: You file a separate return. You paid more than half of the cost of keeping up your home for the tax year. Your spouse did not live in the home during the last 6 months of the tax year. Your home was the main home for your child, stepchild, or foster child for at least 6 months of the tax year. You are able to claim the child as a dependent unless the only reason that you can't claim the child is because the noncustodial parent can claim the child under certain rules. The IRS considers you married for the tax year if you and your spouse lived separately due to a temporary circumstance. Temporary separations include military service, business trips, and college attendance.   Click here for Guide to Filing Taxes as Head of Household
