After finishing up my taxes, at the end of the interview in online TurboTax, a screen asks for permission for 2 things.   "We just need your OK on a couple of things:   1) Let us use your tax info to improve your experience 2) Share your data with Intuit"   The Help popup for that screen says I do not have to agree to either of those. Yet there is no clear way to decline--at least on that screen. There is only a button that says REVIEW AND SIGN.  Do I have to click that button to advance to a screen where it can then be declined?  I don't like clicking a button without knowing what is going to come up next.  Since that is the only possibility to move forward, can I assume that I can decline on the next screen?     Maybe someone who has already gone through that section can tell me what they encountered on the next screen, and if it could be declined there.

I also bought my tax software from costco. I opened it today and it wants to ask me where I live and irrelevant stuff already on my return. I am a bit confused as to where I am supposed to Amend from and when I can?

All figures are approximately rounded numbers for simple mental math: Parents' home sold after Mother's death 2025 Father passed away 2015 house was owned 50/50% each house has licensed appraisal for date of death for each parent.   filling out Father's trust return for 2025  Had 25,000 of dividend income Distributed 25,000 of income Entered house sale price and cost basis appropriately had a $100,000 gain on sale.   Turbo tax taxing it the house gain at the regular trust income rates (est 40%, calculates $40,000 taxes due)   Should not the house sale be taxed at the capital gains tax rate of max 20% (est $20,000 due?)   Thank you
