It seems some of us desktop users are having the same issues again we had in 2024 tfs with the interview questions not asking about Home Office % use. Is the only way to fix this is to go into Forms? I have net profit well over what my Home Office deduction is, so nothing about it bringing my profit to negative. All my income 1099-MISC, so this should go towards lowering my net profit, not a “deduction” as others phrase it. When compared Desktop to using the Web app, it correctly reduces my net profit.  Form 8829 shows my business use of home expenses, but Schedule C line 30 is zero and Form 8829’s gross income limitation (Line 8 ) is showing as zero. I believe the software is using Schedule C Line 28 or Line 29 incorrectly to limit the home office deduction, so the home office amount isn’t flowing into Schedule C line 30, which overstates my net profit and self-employment tax.   Any help here again?

I need support and cant find any here.  Community groups are not support, there is no link to real support, why do you operate something without offering support!?  You have got to include a link for this somewhere here.   My problem is that I am trying to do my taxes, using the free file do it myself version, but you are not allowing me to do this.  When I go to enter my income, i get a message saying "to accurately report my income I will need to upgrade."  This is absurd.  No I can report my income very accurately and easily, if you would allow me to input this.  This is a simple thing to do.  It is not a free file do it myself edition if I am being FORCED into paying for an upgrade for something so easy.  I would really like an explanation as to why you bait and switched me.  I have spent all this time working on these to run into this ridiculous demand and it is infuriating.

My son has mad money off his YouTube account, but the payments were made to me because he is a minor. I was advised to add this as Nominee Income, or to enter another entry and deduct the same amount, and then issue my son a 1099 for his taxes.   When entering the 1099-MISC in TurboTax Home & Business 2025, the software is forcing me to enter this on Schedule C as Self-Employmet income. It isn't self-employment income, and I don't want to report it as such. How can I add this as Other Income?    

Or will I just enter the 1099G for Federal purposes to see if the amount is taxable as Federal income in 2025? And I'm assuming if I took the standard deduction, it won't be taxable. I really just want to confirm I don't need to file a state return for the state that sent me the 1099G. Thanks!

How can check the box on the 1040 form page 1. about my Main Home being in the US for more than 6 months in 2025 using Turbotax online? Support from Turbotax is awful, I don't I'll use it next year, so annoying.
