I did my dependent son's and my taxes again this year using TurboTax. I submitted my son's first, and when that was successful, I submitted mine. Mine was rejected because I did not check the box on my son's return saying that he could be claimed as a dependent by someone else. I requested an extension on my return, and I filed an amended return for him in April with the box checked to correct it. I am still unable to submit my return because of the same issue, and it's the extension deadline. Checking the IRS website, it says that my son's return was adjusted on 9/19, but the completion date isn't until 10/20, which is too late for me to file. What are my options? Calling the IRS has not been successful. 

Last year I sold some collectables on consignment. The total sale was around $800 and I received $530 from the consignor. What amount do I report and how do I subtract the commission so I don’t pay tax on it?   

I did my taxes with Turbo tax. I owed on federal and paid it. I mailed my state tax forms out, and for months I would only see that "they" received it. I was able to call and speak with a live person, but was told that I was not getting back the amount on my form. It was being reduced. How do I find out why? Who do I call? It was a drastic reduction of about $600.00 Please help if possible.

I claimed Commercial Clean Air Tax Credit (45w) for my pickup truck that I am using for my rental property. Since I am not real estate professional I believe I have to mark on Form 3800 "Check if all passive". However, when I do that, I see that my tax liability increases back by $7,500. Essentially no tax benefit.   So where did the $7,500 tax credit go after marking it as passive? Here is what I tried: 1. I artificially increased my gross income from rental properties so there definitely would be enough tax to offset. But it still not reducing tax liability if marked as passive tax credit. 2. I exported my tax return as PDF and searched for 7,500. The only place I see it is on 3800 Line 2.
