For AGI $126,300 I believe for Single they will get a reduced amount of $2,922.  The max phase out is $175,000.   For Joint they would get the full 6,000 for each spouse.   The phase out starts at 1 50,000.  The max is $250,000.  

The "refund processing" fee is $40.   The other fees you see are for using the software.     You can avoid the $40 extra fee by paying the software fees before you e-file using a credit or debit card.   How can I see my TurboTax  fees?  https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US?uid=m682vq7k   If your TurboTax fees are higher than expected, you can reduce them by removing add-ons     (BEFORE you e-file) :   Remove Premium Services Remove MAX Defend & Restore Remove a state Remove PLUS Help & Support Remove Pay With Your Refund     Or—-Use this IRS site for other ways to file for free.  There are 8  free software versions available from the IRS Free File site   https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/

The tool on Healthcare.gov has become active since you posted your question. Column B of Form 1095-A asks you to enter the second lowest cost Silver plan (SLCSP) premium amounts. To find the second lowest cost Silver plan premium amounts for you, use this tool at Healthcare.gov. The software won't accept zeroes in Column B.   For more information on Form 1095-A, please see this TurboTax tips article and this help article.  

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.   Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead.    What is the rejection code or rejection message?     If it was rejected for AGI—-your 2024 AGI might not be in the IRS system if you filed late.   Try using zero instead.   If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/where-do-i-correct-my-agi-in-turbotax-online/00/26311   If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.  

You can print out a corrected form showing that the actual payout was zero and mail it in.  There is no great rush since the original was filed on time (although the contractor may disagree if you have issued them 2 1099s).  Changing it to zero is the correct way to do it but the system isn't really ready for amended returns as yet.  So just print the corrected one and mail it.

So to clarify, it's fine if I don't report anything at all? It wasn't a huge amount of money that I sent (a couple hundred above a 1000), so I'm not really angry about it anymore . I simply just want to forget about it but I'll report something if I need to.

Are you the custodial parent?  Do you have an agreement with the other parent to allow the other parent to claim them--due to divorce or that you live apart and share custody?  Did one of you sign a Form 8332?   If there is a signed 8332 then the custodial parent retains the right to file as Head of Household, get earned income credit and the childcare credit.  The non-custodial parent gets the child tax credit for children under the age of 17.  If the child is 17 or older the non-custodial parent gets the $500 credit for other dependents.   If you and the other parent have a signed agreement, you need to indicate in MY INFO that you have such an agreement.   As far as the IRS is concerned, the custodial parent is the one with whom the child spent the most nights during the tax year--at least 183 nights.

If you need to prepare a return for an Scorps you need TurboTax Business on a Windows PC.   You also need software for the personal returns---they cannot be prepared using TT Business.    TT Business can be used with Windows 10 or 11; 2025 desktop download for personal returns requires Windows 11.   https://turbotax.intuit.com/small-business-taxes/cd-download/     2025 TURBOTAX   DOWNLOAD (This requires a full PC or Mac—-cannot be used on a mobile device)   https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/   You can also purchase the desktop download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.   This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.   When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return.  You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return.   

Thank you Amy,  that is good but does not address more than one acre.  I have a little over 4 acres but turbotax does not address an appropriate formula so I get penalized each year plus interest for taking the deduction.  I suggest another line question in TT.  Surely, I am not the only disabled vet in Wisconsin who owns over 1 acre.
