I then converted my Ethereum to Bitcoin in 2024.   IRS Q64 here states:   If you exchange digital assets for other property, including for other digital assets differing materially in kind or extent or debt instruments issued as a part of the transaction, you will recognize a capital gain or loss. For more information on calculating gain or loss from disposing of digital assets for other property, including other digital assets, see FAQs 65 through 67.   The purchases of Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2021 are not taxable events.  However, the purchases will establish the cost basis for each of the investments.   IRS Q56 here states:   If you purchase digital assets using cash in a transaction your basis in the digital assets received includes the amount you paid in cash for the digital assets plus the amount you paid for transaction services to effect the purchase, the latter of which are digital asset transaction costs. For more information on which types of costs qualify as digital asset transaction costs, see FAQ 53.   The 2024 transaction would be reported on your 2024 Federal income tax return.  The entry would be reported on an amended income tax return.   If you used TurboTax Online, log in to your account that contains your 2024 income tax return and select Amend a return that was filed and accepted.  See this TurboTax Help.   The transaction would be reported under Investments and Savings and Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other as a manually entered IRS form 1099-B.  Please post if you have further questions.    

Yes, if you are a full-year non-resident but received any income from Indiana sources (like slot machine winnings), you are required to file Form IT-40PNR (Part-Year or Nonresident return).   Indiana requires you to file a state tax return your gross income exceeds your exemptions ($1,000 for a single person).   If you win a jackpot on a slot machine (typically $1,200 or more), the casino issues a Form W-2G.  A copy of that W-2G is sent to the Indiana Department of Revenue (and why they require a state tax return from you).   The casino may not have withhold state taxes at the time you won, but Indiana still taxes that income at their flat rate (currently 3.0% for 2025).   If the casino did withhold taxes, you may get some of that money back (if you owe less than was taken) by filing a state tax return.  

Thank you for the info. I dug into the actual underlying forms and found that somehow TT thought I had a basis in my IRA and this caused TT to ask the question. Since I don't have a basis in my IRA (ROTH yes, but not my traditional IRA) I replaced it with zero (0) and then TT no longer prompted me with the question.  This question is still confusing since form 5498 gets mailed out in May, 1 month AFTER federal taxes are due. So how can TT ask for a form I can't have? So something still seems broken regarding this, but I did resolve my specific issue.

If you had no health insurance for 2025, when it asks you about the 1095A say NO to the question and move on.   That question is for people who had marketplace health insurance from healthcare.gov.   If you did not have that the question does not apply to you.

Hi LindaS5247, thank you for your recommendation. I read about doing this in other thread that Im following, I just did it, delete all related form with the 1099-R and did it all over again and still the same issue, after I run the review a box that is marking  ''2025 Disaster Distribution'' appears red. Then in this page that is under  Review> Analysis > Check This Entry appear a legend in the top that says :  '' Form 1099-R ( Payer's Company): 2025 Disaster Distribution Checkbox - You can't file just yet. This may mean a better tax outcome for taxpayers like you who have 2025 Qualified Disaster Distributions. We can keep working on your tax return adn we''ll let you know when we can help you finish up your taxas''. What I understand form this is that Turbo Tax Desktop Premier is still unable to process this forms, the real question would be until when since this is the only thing stopping me from filling since 2 weeks ago. Hopefully Turbotax fix this soon.

You cannot use online TurboTax for a 2024 return.   If you are trying to use online, the return is all wrong.  Stop trying to e-file it.   You cannot change the tax year.   The current online program is for 2025 only.   Only a 2025 return can be prepared online and only a 2025 return can be e-filed.   Online preparation and e-filing for 2022, 2023, and  2024 is permanently closed.
