It sounds like you are referring to the Renter's Credit on a Minnesota tax return.
If you forgot to include this on your tax return, you'll need to amend your return per MN Department of Revenue. For help with amending a state return, see How do I amend my state tax return?
In order to enter the information in TurboTax for the Renter's Credit, you go through the MN interview until you see the screen Other Minnesota Credits. The first option is Renter's Credit. Select this and continue. You'll need to confirm you meet some requirements, then you can enter information from the Certificate of Rent Paid.

I have entered my SSA1099 and my spouses, (we file jointly) Turbo offers no way for me to add my father's SSA1099 made out o me. QUESTION: Do I add my SSA1099 and my father's SSA1099 together or do I place my father's SSA1099 some where else in the TURBO App?? The app will not let have a third SSA1099 in the SSA1099 area.

TurboTax is in the process of enhancing CSV import and upload features to make this process more seamless.
Timeline: We expect the new CSV import functionality to be available by mid-February. Please note that this is an estimated target as we finalize the experience.
Supported Documents: Once live, the import/upload feature will support both 1099-DA and DigitalAssetGainLoss files.
If you are ready to file now, you can still enter your information manually. Otherwise, thank you for your patience while we get these automated tools ready for you!

Code U indicates a dividend distribution from ESOP shares. Such a distribution is NOT eligible for rollover. Depositing these funds into an IRA constitutes an ordinary contribution to the IRA and must be entered as such under Deductions & Credits. If the result is an excess contribution, you'll need to resolve the excess, typically be requesting an explicit return of contribution. Assuming that the IRA custodian coded the deposit as a rollover, requesting a return of contribution will require convincing the IRA custodian that this was a failed rollover and was therefore an ordinary contribution that can be returned.

estimate from Intuit in other threads is 2/13 for this form. dates can move either way. the delay relates to guidance from IRS which was only published mid Jan, for people only waiting on this form it can be frustrating - but as we've seen with other 1099s it's a year for a bit of patience.

I am a bit confused and am hoping someone can help with NJ and PA returns. I worked in NJ and lived there for less than 6 months. I also owned a home in NJ which I sold in the first half of the year. I moved to PA while still working in NJ. The forms generating are a Resident NJ return and a Non-resident NJ return showing that I owe money for each return. Is it correct to have two NJ returns and owe money for both? My employer took out state income tax for each NJ and PA. The PA return shows I also owe money. When the question of "Did you earn any income from NJ sources while living in another state?" comes up I hit "Yes" because I did earn my income from NJ while living in PA. Is that correct? I am aware another user had an issue with that question. And do I need to fill out the PA Schedule G/L form?

I have a home office which I began using in 2020. When doing my 2025 taxes I realized I should be taking a depreciation deduction for the furniture. My understanding is that when I enter this information into TT it should take a deduction for all the depreciation not claimed in previous years in the current tax year 2025 (6 years of depreciation). I understand I may need to file form 3115. TT does not seem to be doing this. For example for a $3,500 item it takes $1,400 of depreciation, but the MACRS schedule, which it correctly generates shows closer to $3,000. I don't understand what TT is doing here, and if this is correct. If my understanding is correct how do I get TT to cooperate ?

This needs to get fixes ASAP. I never took either ed credit for my kids but my daughter graduated last spring, is now no longer a dependent and is not eligible for the credit. The inability to enter he expenses via the conversation is prohibiting me from entering this data into her forms and taking the credit. TT needs to publish a date when they are going to fix this and soon.

This is now your own IRA, so do not mark any box that would be used to indicate that this is an inherited IRA. It is no longer an inherited IRA.
Q, Is this done by allotting the full amount of my grants/scholarships as "amount paid toward room and board" on the TurboTax platform?

A. Yes. Not the full amount, but $11,500 in the first example and $10, 500 in the 2nd.
Q. Does it matter if I did not actually make a payment of tuition, since my university deducted the cost of tuition from my scholarship/grants and disbursed the excess grant money to me?
A. No. For tax purposes, you DID make a payment with your $4000 of tax reportable money.

@th0126 okay that makes me feel better. I did notice my transcripts updated from blank to showing information but the message didn’t.
