you can't claim 2023 depreciation in 2024. If taking depreciation in 2023 was valid; the asset was placed into service that year; it must be claimed. it would seem you need to amend 2023. if you are going to claim section 179, it must be initially claimed in the year the asset is place into service. you cannot skip 179 for year 1 then claim it on the asset in year 2 or later. there are various limitations that apply to the deductibility of 179

Turbotax deletes data after 7 years so 2016 and 2017 are gone. the IRS also deletes data that old. You would have had to save a PDF copy on your computer's hard drive (not Turbotax servers). To open a 2022 tax file online in 2025, you will need to purchase and download the TurboTax software for the year 2022. TurboTax Online and the mobile app are only available for the current tax year, 2024

Hi All, I contributed a total of $1,813 in excess on 401k across two employers in 2024, as I changed jobs during the year. Specifically, I contributed $7,153 to one plan and $17,658 to another. Both employers are not willing to issue a refund since I contacted them after April 1, 2025. How should I report this excess contribution to the IRS, if at all? I assume I won’t receive any 1099-R since I didn’t get a refund from either employer. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated—I’d like to make sure I can file correctly before the October 15, 2025 deadline. Thank you!

explanation
If this business has disallowed losses from a previous year, and they were in whole or in part from SSTB activity, then the applicable percentage is required for that year.
The applicable percentage is the percentage of your SSTB income that is qualified business income based on your taxable income. If your taxable income was below the "phase-in range" for the year in question (see below), this percentage is 100%. If your taxable income exceeded the phase-in range for your filing status, then this percentage is 0%.
example 2018 MFJ taxable income $400,000
$400,000 is $15,000 less than the maximum $415,000
the range is $100,000 $415,000- $315,000
so we get a percent of 15%
Phase-in range by Year and Filing Status: 2018 Married Filing Joint filers: $315,000 - $415,000 All others: $157,500 - $207,500 2019 Married Filing Joint filers: $321,400 - $421,400 All others: $160,700 - $210,700 2020 Married Filing Joint filers: $326,600 - $426,600 All others: $163,300 - $213,300 2021 Married Filing Joint filers: $329,800 - $429,800 All others: $164,900 - $214,900 2022 Married Filing Joint filers: $340,100 - $440,100 All others: $170,500 - $220,500 2023 Married Filing Joint filers: $364,200 - $464,200 All others: $182,100 - $232,100

For non-covered securities ( BOX B or E) showing zero (wrong) basis, enter the correct basis yourself. Use code "B" and put -0- in col (g). For Box A or D, leave basis as reported, use Code "B" and put an adjustment in col(g). If the basis is not reported to IRS, there's nothing to adjust. - If you check the box indicating you have other boxes on your 1099-B to enter, TurboTax will do it this way. @Juliaxyw

@gframe15 wrote: How can I get a previous tax return? This answer assumes your past return was prepared in Online TurboTax. Any return prepared in desktop TurboTax will not be in an Online account. Here's how one would normally find past-year online returns and how to troubleshoot for multiple accounts (User IDs) if necessary. Many people end up with more than 1 account. The pathway to download the PDF or tax data file depends on whether or not you have started an online 2024 return. I provide both scenarios below, so choose which one is appropriate for your situation. If you have not yet started a 2024 online return: Sign in to your account. What you see next depends on whether or not you have already started a 2024 return in that account. If your left column menu is minimal, and does not have a Tax Home tab displayed, that would imply you have not started preparing a 2024 return in that account. If you haven't yet started a return, it will start asking you some questions. Answer those preliminary questions on a few screens (you don't actually have to prepare a return), and then when you are far enough into the process, the left menu column will change, and you'll then see a Tax Home option in the left menu column. Do not click the Documents tab. Instead, click on Tax Home. Then on the Tax Home screen, scroll way down to the bottom to "Your Tax Returns & Documents". Expand that section and choose the past year you want. If your past returns are not shown there, then you likely have multiple accounts and signed into the wrong one. I'll tell you below how to troubleshoot. If you have already started or finished a 2024 online return: Log in, and if you've already started a 2024 return in that account, then it may already open at the Tax Home. If not, click the Tax Home tab in the left column menu. Do not use the Documents tab. At the Tax Home scroll down and expand "Your Tax Returns & Documents." If the past returns are not there, see the steps below. If you do all that and can't find the past return, here's how to look for multiple accounts: You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes. A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be. It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all. To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, etc., you can use the tool at the link below. When using the Account Recovery tool, try using your phone number first if you can still access it. After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access. NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop. Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below. You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session. https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery If still no luck after running that on your phone number you can still access and email address(es) that you can access, here's another method: Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, scroll down a bit, then choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by other parameters.
