As others have said, you need to verify that with your health plan insurer.    That said, "the 'under 26 rule' allows young adults to stay on their parents' health insurance plan until they turn 26, regardless of their marital status, living situation, or financial dependence. This rule, a provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), applies to most individual and employer-sponsored plans. When a dependent turns 26, their coverage typically ends, which triggers a Special Enrollment Period for them to find their own health insurance."

desktop 1099B section isn't ready yet.  when it does if you are on desktop you can just create a dummy return and key in high level numbers you don't need all the 1099 detail just one entry for INT, one for DIV, one for LTCG, one for STCG etc.  It's not much work to mock up an estimate that way.

@Cavachon1 true as long as you meet the  other eligibility criteria ( 2 years ownership for at least one filer, 730 days of usage as main residence -- for both filers -- with a look back period of five years from the date of sale closing)  and no exclusion  claim in the preceding two years.  Also the sale must cover whole property , e.g. in the case of one building with two separate units ( one used  as residence and one for rental), the whole building must be transferred for this reg to apply. Does this make sense ?   Is there more one of us can do for you ?

@metu   Namaste ji Before one can answer  (a) Are you US person ( citizen/GreenCard/Resident for tax purposes )?  If yes, you are taxed on your world income, file on form 1040, rental income reported on Schedule-E.  If not , then you are taxed a NRA, file on form 1040-NR -- you are  taxed on your US sourced/connected  income. Your rental income is passive but US sourced.  Also the state ( CA?) would want a cut. (b) Are you planning of buying  housing only for purposes of income or you plan to use as own home.  Note there is at least a 1/4 point penalty for  rental property mortgage. (c) If buying residential property, are you proposing use of entity (  SMLLC, Partnership etc. ) or under your own name ? (d) if you are a US citizen or GreenCard, which country are you a citizen of ? (e) Real question here is what are you trying to achieve ?   I will circle back once I hear from you --yes ? Namaste ji

2024 "numbers" will not transfer to 2025.   Your personal information and the information regarding names of employers, EIN's, 1099's, 1098's, etc. transfers over.   Even with that transfer you still have to enter 2025 amounts yourself.   Your 2024 numbers are not going to be "plugged in" to calculate your 2025 tax refund or tax due if that is what you are hoping for.

yes I have the 2025 downloaded. My question is can I transfer ALL of my 2024 numbers into 2025 or do I have to enter every w2, 1099? as a test. Do you know if this is posable? I want a quick appraisal of how the new Tax laws affect my tax without entering every number from last year. Thanks

The online software for 2025 is not yet available.   Only the desktop download for 2025 is currently available.  Online will be ready in early to mid-December.     In answer to transferring your 2024 information---you must transfer the tax file, not a pdf.       https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/transfer-last-year-return-turbotax-online  

@superlyc I would check the safe harbor, from what you describe with your increase in withholding already, maybe you met 2024 tax and you don't have to worry about estimated tax.   to @NCperson's point Form 2210 AI method is a pain but provides that ability to handle unexpected income late in the year to line up with one-off ES.  Q4 Roth conversions is another example.  IRS still expects you to plan and pay tax timely.  The 'pain' in the AI method is you have to calculate your AGI, withholding, qualified divs and LTCG by quarter (3/31, 5/31, 8/31, 12/31) which TT can't do automagically, you have to work all that out and input it.
