Form 8936 is not supported in TurboTax Business, Desktop or Online.  You can download these forms from the IRS website (links below).    You will have to manually calculate the Clean Vehicle Credit, and enter on Form 8936 Part II Line 8.  Use the Forms Mode in TurboTax to enter the credit on Form 1120S p5-6 Line 13 (under Credits).  Use the drop-down to select Code AY (New Clean Vehicle Credit) then enter the amount in the box to the right. The total will be allocated to all partners on Schedule K-1 Box 13 Code AY.   IRS links to forms & instructions: Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit Instructions for Form 8936 (2024) Form 8936 Form 8936 Schedule A, Clean Vehicle Credit Amount

To enter income from participating in a medical study that was reported to you on Form 1099-NEC in TurboTax Deluxe:   Go to the Income section Under Other Common Income, select Income from Form 1099-NEC Select Add a form, and "type it in myself' Enter the dollar amount and other information included on the form Do not choose "self-employment" as the reason for the payment, as this would lead TurboTax to calculate self-employment tax. You are self-employed when you participate in a medical study. The screen may allow you not to choose any of the categories in the checkboxes.   You can also report it under Less Common Income, Miscellaneous Income, Other Reportable Income.    Wherever you report the income, be sure to report is as a separate item rather than combining it with something else, so that the IRS information return matching program will find it.  
Ok, one more question.  The form 8962 is all that info poplulated from turbotax?  Also do I send in the 8332 form with his signature releasing claim for those years?

In general, the state where you actually perform the work can tax the income.  Your resident state can also tax the income, but if the work was performed in a nonresident state, you can get a credit for the taxes paid on the double-taxed income.  You will be able to allocate the income based on WHERE you worked, even if your payroll department did not update the withholding in time.
how to remove the fema portion of my taxes

MaryK4:  Just reread your comment.  You said: "you cannot efile a state return if you do not file the federal return. "  But I am filing the fed return - in fact, two Fed MFS returns.  So I can e-file the two Fed MFS returns.  Wait a week, then file the MA MFJ return. I understand the problem if you file Fed MFJ and MA MFS.  That's not permitted.  But my situation is the opposite and I don't believe there is any prohibition against filing a MA MFJ return after filing two Fed MFS returns.

If you removed the excess plus earnings already, you did not make any 2025 Roth contribution. Does this help?   The first post that uses code PJ for a future 1099-R is the correct mechanism to pay the tax on positive earnings on this tax return before filing, rather than amending later.   @thurminator

You're welcome.  No, he doesn't have to do his taxes first.  You can do yours and allocate yourself 0% of the 1095-A.  This should not cause any rejections or issues, but the IRS sometimes does take longer to review certain returns.  As long as the IRS sees that you have prepared the 8962 there will not be an automatic rejection.   You can change the return back to you claiming her as well.  Since you have an agreement, and the 8962 does not require you not to claim her, by restoring the Child Tax Credit and allocating 0% of the 1095-A, the refund should go back to what it was to begin with.

line 7 on form 8960 should include 1040 schedule 1, line z8! But Turbotax does not do that! . I think it is possibelly a software bug in the desktop version. (I do not know about the online version.) Here is the instruction from IRS: "Instructions for Form 8960 (2025) ... Line 7—Other Modifications to Investment Income Use line 7 to report additional NII modifications to NII that aren’t otherwise specified on lines 1–6. For example, use line 7 to report additions and modifications to NII, such as the following. Section 1411 net operating loss (NOL) (enter as a negative amount). See Section 1411 NOL, later. Any deductions described in section 62(a)(1) that are properly allocable to a passive activity or trading business, but aren’t taken into account on line 4a or 5a (enter as a negative amount). See Other section 62(a)(1) deductions, later. Adjustments for distributions from estates and trusts. See Distributions from estates and trusts, later. Section 404(k) dividends reported on line 2 (enter as a negative amount). See Line 2—Ordinary Dividends, earlier. Interest income reported on line 1 received from certain nonpassive activities (entered as a negative amount). See Self-charged interest, later. Recoveries of deductions taken on a prior year’s Form 8960. See Deduction recoveries, later. Other items of NII (or properly allocable deductions) not otherwise included on Form 8960 reported on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8z; Form 1041, line 8; Form 1041-QFT, lines 4 and 9; and Form 1040-NR, amount on statement reporting tax items for your period of U.S. residency corresponding to Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8z."

Hi Turbotax experts,   From my questions in previous post,   When my son is using TT to file his tax, there is a question for 1099Q distributions:   Question:  Who received the 1099-Q distributions? The choices are:  Taxpayer or Someone else   How should he answer this question?  If the 1099Q was sent directly to his school, should he select "Someone else"?  When he selected this option, the $215 tax he owed disappeared.   For next year 2026 tax, when he needs to stay off campus, should all 529 distributions for off campus expenses be sent directly to the Apartment rental company? So he can select "Someone else" and pay no tax when this 1099Q question comes up?   Please advise!  This is still so confusing !!   HHP

Thanks MaryK4.  I was afraid that was the case.  On the other hand, if I paper file the MA MFJ return, it's hard to understand how that makes MA processing easier or more efficient.  Are they going to reach out to the Feds and obtain the Fed filed MFS returns?  That's absurd.  But then again, not much in gov't makes sense to us mere mortals.  Thanks again.

Same issue, same advice from TTax Rep: relog, restart, cache, private browsing, other browser, and so on.  What really worked (thanks ChatGPT) is accessing the Tax Tools (in the left menu under the review tabs and file) / Tools, and I clicked Delete Form. It brought a separate window with the IRS form, throwing errors: an asset that needed a depreciation period (which showed as filled in the Asset tab of the main program), and the "at risk" rule was not checked at all. I filled in the missing info, clicked the correct option, and now my review is good to go.   Nothing to do with internet connection, cookies, or browser.
