By Oregon interview you mean the few questions about being an Oregon resident?   I did file my taxes for 2024 on Turbotax. It showed me the amount I would get but never added it to the total due at the top of the page. It even offered me to donate that amount, but even after those questions nothing was added to the total due.   Thanks for your help! 

Filed my Taxes on Wednesday and it was accepted. But, I only used 5695 to obtain my Carryover Credit from last year.   There is a statement on the top of the form that states:  If you are only requesting a Carryover Credit, you can skip lines 1-11.   Plus the fact they changed the form to put in those Stop Manufacturer Codes.  That could be the problem.  

If you are using TurboTax Desktop make sure all updates have been run on your program. You can do this by clicking on "Online" in the black bar across the top of your TurboTax screen. And then select "Check for Updates".   You could also try to enter your dividends manually instead of importing them.   Go to Federal Taxes Under Wages & Income- mark Yes for Interest & Dividends Select Start next to Dividends and add investments You could skip importing your data Select Dividends again Enter your data If you have any additional questions or information regarding this please return to TurboTax Community and we would be glad to help.  

Recomiendo que se comunique con un Experto de TurboTax para que le ayude en tiempo real.  Para solicitar esta ayuda, entre a su cuenta de TurboTax y seleccione "Consejos en vivo sobre impuestos" que va estar hacia arriba de su pantalla a la derecha.  Un Experto se connectara con usted para que le pueda ayudar a corregir su declaracion y aclarar sus dudas sobre el resultado.

Nondeductible traditional IRA contributions became permissible beginning in 1987.  The maximum permissible annual contribution in 1987 through 2001 was $2,000, so $8,000 would represent at least 4 years of contributions, perhaps 1987 through 1991.  Nondeductible traditional IRA contributions have always been required to have been reported on Form 8606, so unless you have specific recollection of having filed those forms, you would probably have difficulty substantiating that you have such basis.   If you now claim the basis on Form 8606 and you get audited by the IRS, the IRS might disallow the use of the basis.   Any contributions made before 1987 could only have been deductible contributions which did not add and basis in nondeductible contributions and would not reduce the taxable amount of any distribution.

If you have money NOT at risk you can not take a loss on schedule C. If you don't know what it means then probably All your Investment is at Risk (check Box 32a). It means you are using your own money for the business. People usually check the wrong box. If you need to find where to change the At Risk box on line 32 here are my old notes. Hopefully they still work or will get you close. Go back to your Self-Employment Income. Click on Edit to review your business entries. Then scroll down to Uncommon Situations, click Edit and check or uncheck the box. If your investment is at risk, don't check the box. You may need to delete Form 6198 if you had the box checked and are now unchecking it. How to delete forms https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/view-delete-forms-turbotax-online/L7SZhwCHv_US_en_US?uid=lgn2u570 You can get back to the question about your business investment being at risk by going to the Schedule C and finding the Final Details > Special Situations section (if using TurboTax Home and Business) or the Uncommon Situations section (if using TurboTax Online). One user said…. Scroll to the bottom of the screen until you see the Uncommon Situations section, then click Start or Edit beside Carryovers, limitations, at risk information. Within those sections, there will be a check-box to indicate 'I have money invested in this business that I'm not at risk of losing; that is, certain cash, property, or borrowed amounts that are protected from loss.' Uncheck that box if your investment in your business is not at risk.
