What exactly do you want to enter on Schedule 3 line 13z? There is no way to make free-form entries on that line. The only entries that are allowed on line 13z are a credit for tax paid to the Virgin Islands from Form 8689 or a credit from an excess limitation account under IRC Section 960(c). To enter one of these credits open the "Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR Worksheet" in forms mode. Scroll down almost to the bottom of the worksheet and look at the "Other Credits and Payments Smart Worksheet between lines 12 and 13 in the Schedule 3 section. Enter the amount of the credit on the appropriate line of the smart worksheet: line C for tax paid to the Virgin Islands from Form 8689 or line F for a Section 960(c) credit. The credit will then appear on line 13z.

The same is happening to me. I donated a household of items when my father passed (2 houses, in 2 states). I also opened a DAF with a deposit of appreciated securities. That signature I can get (that's by far the largest donation) but the others are not all that large, per item (but per entity, it's a few thousand dollars each. Does this mean I must file by mail?

Please answer the following: Are you using the Windows or Mac version? Have you updated your software recently? At what point in the program, i.e., after what specific screen do you hit that "Snag" error? Is it after a screen in the FILE section, or is it after you are trying to enter some topic in the interview? "i have tried all the older methods in the answers but nothing works." You may get some of the same suggestions, since we have no way of knowing what all the older methods are that you've tried. If it becomes necessary, however, we can tell you how to phone TurboTax Support on Monday.

responses from support "It is possible all the forms needed to file your return aren't available yet. You can check this in the Review section." WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!?!?!

i am trying to file 2024 taxes by 10/15 extension deadline. using desktop version and am getting "hit a snag" error which i see is an issue going back to at least 2021. am i missing the fix? in 2022, it was identified as 'a known issue' per response from an alumni expert. my error also says i need to go back to previous section and review but, when i do that, it takes me out of the turbo tax application. i have tried all the older methods in the answers but nothing works. any new ideas?

I had the same situation, where I don't have my rental property history in Turbo Tax (it got deleted) but I need to report the sale of rental property in a year where I didn't try to rent it out (it was listed for sale). I have the Depreciation Form from 2023, so I tried entering it under Sale of Business Asset. Seemed to work fine and I entered land and building and a couple other 1250 assets all separately. But, turbo tax puts the land in Section III with the rest of the assets (Property A, Property B, etc.). I went back to the interview to see if I missed how to do indicate it was land, but I don't see anything like that. I opened forms view to see if I could manually change it but, section I of 4797 is all grayed out. Any ideas to get the land allocation that I entered in the Sale of Business Asset into Section 1?

I sold my rental property in Feb 2024; tenant moved out in Dec 2023, so no rental income at all in 2024. When I was going thru the interview section of Schedule E, I checked the box that I sold this asset in 2024. But, when I answered that I didn't try to rent it in 2024 (it was listed for sale), the interview told me to delete the asset from Schedule and when I clicked ok, it deleted it completely (I thought it would just removed from Sch E). So, I had to report the sale in the interview section under Sale of Business aAssets. I referred to my copy of the Depreciation & Amortization Report from 2023 to calculate the appropriate section 1231 and 1250 allocations/entries for form 4797 and entered the land and building figures as separate entries under the sale of business assets interview section. But the problem is that Turbo Tax is putting both the land and building into Section III of 4797 (as Property A and Property B). I went to the forms section to try to manually enter the land into Section I of 4797, but it's all grayed out. How can I get the land into Section I of 4797?

@samartur , Namaste ji. You are up early --- about 7 am your time.
I was going to ask you about Social Security -- because almost all treaties, the distributing country ONLY retains the right to tax SSA benefits. I recognize that SSA probably only applies to you since most of Calif govt employees do not participate in SSA contribution ( they use CalPers ).
You only option here is to get credit from India. However I don't know how many years back you can go. US will collect for as many years as it can get ( at least six ) but refund is limited to three years.
Is there anything more I can do for you ?
May I suggest ( since this now is getting more specific to your case only ) that you use PM ( the contents are not visible to general user , just NO PII -- Personally Identifiable Information ) hereafter. That way you can freely discuss. I am in California -- PDT.
