Hi Turbotax expert,   I am a bit confused if it is possible to e-file NY tax amend vs. paper amendment.  In Turbotax, it said that that e-file is required by NY but also say that I have to file by mail since e-filling is closed for the season.   Same question for CA amendment.

Hello Thank you for your reply, sorry as I forgot something,  I thought that I mention that the person who did the work for us is a US citizen with a valid SSN, but he lives overseas and he files taxes every year (he does not have a US physical address anymore as his address is in UAE now) we still need to give him a 1099 NEC.   The question: which address we need to put on the 1099?   Thank you

Did you file  and then amend in the Online version?  There is only 1 returns saved.  It should only be the amended return.   When you amend it  saves over the orginal return.    Did you use the same account to amend in?  Did you download the file ending in .tax2024 to  open in the Desktop program?    Did you use the Standard version?  Standard is a Canada version. This is the USA forum. Here is the Canada forum https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/tax-help

My original reply applies to #1 and #2 without modification.   As for question #3, you are correct that for a taxable rollover funds from the traditional 401(k) directly to a Roth IRA, Form 8606 is not involved and has no effect on the calculation taxable amount of the traditional IRA to Roth IRA conversion.  For a direct rollover from a traditional 401(k) to a Roth IRA, make sure that the 401(k) plan understands that the destination account is a Roth IRA so that they show the correct taxable amount in box 2a of the Form 1099-R.
Same and a year later I still haven’t received my taxes .

Well, I'm getting older and may not want to deal with it myself, I've used TT for over 20 years and have always done my own taxes.  I do have a brother-in-law who is an Enrolled Agent and he did my 1026 and K1 for a partnership I and my partner sold in 2022.  My return isn't as complicated as it once was so I figure I'll keep doing it as long as my mind allows it!

Ok, so this is going to be a little long to explain.. When COVID hit, I had applied for unemployment on my business that I had literally just started.  Well, time went by, and I sold my condo, separated from my husband, and was going from hotel to hotel, so I had no permanent address, until I did. Moved into my house in November of 2020, and in April the following year, I received a letter from unemployment asking if i was going to continue my benefits and if i was to ... so I called them, by the end of the phone call with them I had $22,000 and some change in my account and then from April to September I received a payment every week. Now, when all was said and done i filed taxes with my husband and the tax girl told me I did not have to file taxes on the unemployment.  Ok, she would know right..?   Some time late,r I received a letter from IRS and Unemployment saying that we owe them $4,000 and some change in taxes for the unemployment, and Unemployment sent me a letter saying I was not supposed to receive benefits and that i owe them that money back. No theyre saying I owe them $16,700 in overpayments, and the IRS wants the $4000 in taxes from the unemployment that was not filed.  How is it that they can do that ?  If there were no unemployment, there'd be no taxes. If I have to pay unemployment back, I am not paying the IRS or vice versa.  I am not paying both of them back.  Am I right? And how is it that they can pull this bcuz they have already started garnishing my tax refund !!  Please give me some advice or information, or even let me if I am wrong
