I understand there is a limit, but turbo tax is reading it as an employer contribution and it is not. It is an employee only contribution and that makes it income instead of a deduction. How can I get past this?
Here is a FAQ: How do I update my TurboTax account info?

Thanks for responding. -- US/CA resident. I sold a property in India and paid capital gains tax in India.   I have reported the capital gains in my TurboTax Online/Premium return. However, TurboTax Online only allows entry of foreign taxes paid while working overseas.   How do I report the taxes paid in India in order to claim relief under the applicable tax treaty (or foreign tax credit)?   Thanks again.

@KathyHe , please accept my apologies for not recognizing that you were  waiting for an answer.  I will be happy to prepare an example to show --- but first can you tell me : (a) when did your husband pass ?  Need is did he pass in the year of the sale ? (b) do you have access to your returns  for the rental years ? or at least the last rental year  ?  You said  earlier  you rented out the prop for three years starting 2015 --- so ideal situation is to have access to schedule-E of the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. (c) did you use the property as your main home for all the other years -- i.e. 2018/19, 2020, 2021. 2022. 2023, 2024 and 2025 ( till the sale closed )? Please accept my condolences for your terrible loss. I will circle back once I hear from you --yes ?
The $6,000 for single filers and 12,000 for married.

You should enter the corporate shares issued and outstanding in Part 1, box D. In Part II, Box H you would enter the number of shares you hold. The allocation percentage would be your share of the shares issued, which would be 100% if you are the only shareholder. Since you don't have other shareholders, the number of shares or associated percentages will not affect your taxable income and associated deductions or credits, so it will have a minimal affect on your tax preparation. As such, an amended return would likely have no significant affect on anything.

1. Yes you would need to report the refunded insurance premiums as Other or Miscellaneous income on your Schedule E.   To enter in TurboTax: Go to Wages & Income (or Personal Income). Scroll down to Rentals, Royalties, and Farm and select Start/Update next to Rental Properties and Royalties (Sch E). Find the property you sold and click Edit. On the Rental Property Summary screen, click Start/Update next to Rental Income. On the Let's enter the income for Rental, select Cash, checks, and electronic payments Enter in the 2025 Rental Income Box (add it if you already have income here). 2. You would not enter the premiums for the 66 days as an adjustment to basis.  Selling expenses that adjust your basis are usually things like commissions, title insurance for the buyer, legal fees for the closing, and transfer taxes.  The insurance would be a deductible expense which you could deduct while you were maintaining the property while awaiting the sale if it was available for rent. (See Vacant while listed for sale.)     PLEASE NOTE: Because you deducted the entire premium in 2024, you would not enter it as an expense again in 2025.   By reporting the $223 as income, you effectively bring your total net deduction for the life of that policy down to $704, which covers the period from June 2024 to March 2025. You don't need to list a separate expense for the 66 days in 2025 because those dollars were already part of the $927 deduction you took in 2024.

But it you enter the amount on line 1 that might not be the total amount you had to take to get the required rmd.  So then what do you do?

Try this to see if this will remove your error.   On the left menu, select Tax Tools -> Tools. Select Delete a form. Find Form 8995 (Qualified Business Income Deduction) or QBI Component Worksheet or both. Click Delete next to it and confirm. If both the 8995 and worksheet appear, delete them both. Log out of TurboTax, then log back in. Run the Federal Review again. TurboTax will realize the form is missing, see your business income, and generate a new 8995 form in their return.   Let us know if this works.
