Per IRS instructions for Form 8959 must be filed if:   Your Medicare wages and tips on any single Form W-2 (box 5) are greater than $200,000. Your RRTA compensation on any single Form W-2 (box 14) is greater than $200,000. Your total Medicare wages and tips plus your self-employment income, if any (including the Medicare wages and tips and self-employment income of your spouse, if married filing jointly), are greater than the threshold amount for your filing status in the Threshold Amounts for Additional Medicare Tax chart. Your total RRTA compensation and tips (Form W-2, box 14) (including the RRTA compensation and tips of your spouse, if married filing jointly) is greater than the threshold amount for your filing status in the Threshold Amounts for Additional Medicare Tax chart. Your Medicare wages include your wages and tips from Form W-2, box 5; your tips from Form 4137, line 6; and your wages from Form 8919, line 6. Your self-employment income includes amounts from Schedule SE (Form 1040), Part I, line 6. But negative amounts shouldn't be considered for purposes of Form 8959. If none of these situations apply and if you are married make sure that when you entered your income you allocated it to the correct person.  Sometimes if you allocated all forms to the same person, the additional tax will kick in.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk

Yes, a passive loss that is carried over from an investment is entered during the interview for the Schedule K-1.   The easiest way to find the appropriate section of TurboTax is to go to Tax Tools in the left column then choose Tools >> Topic Search. Type in "schedule K-1", then click the topic in the list that applies and go directly to the start of that section. If you're using TurboTax Desktop, use the search box instead.   Choose the type of K-1 you need to work on, then click "Edit" beside the actual K-1 you need to review. (Add a K-1 if you have not already entered this investment.)   Look for a question like "I have passive activity losses carried over from last year." Check the box and TurboTax will ask you for the carryover amount later in the interview.   See also How do I report a business loss or carryover from my K-1?  

I would assume that the entire amount was an RMD for the 14 years and I would enter it accordingly.   Request a waiver of penalty using a form 5329 and attaching a letter explaining why he was late taking the RMDs.  You'll have to mail in your return to do this.   @Erly 

The short answer is YES.    Capital gains are usually considered to be corpus and remain within the trust so, in the case of a simple trust (one that distributes only income, not gains, the trust is responsible for paying tax on those gains along with any recapture (Section 1250 gain).

It is always better to pay in the quarter you receive the money instead of applying for a penalty waiver.  However, CA does follow the IRS steps for penalty waiver.  If her last year tax liability was $0, then she would be able to apply for the penalty waiver if she does not pay until 2025. 

I see this on that site: Combine IRA Savings with State Incentives to Upgrade Your Home With Efficiency and Comfort in Mind The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) helps New Yorkers get the latest clean energy technologies and equipment that will save energy for years to come. From the cars we drive, to the ways we heat and cool our homes, the IRA is helping New Yorkers choose clean energy technologies that improve their health, safety, and quality of life. Did you know? It typically costs less to heat your home with a heat pump than it does to use oil, propane, or other types of electric heat. New York State is investing in charging stations for towns and businesses to help EV drivers get from point A to point B. Since 2023, IRA tax credits have been available to New Yorkers.
