We can't answer why your Child Tax Credit is only $633 because we can't see your tax return.  Since you indicated that you didn't work much, you probably didn't have any taxable income so you may be eligible for the refundable Additional Child Tax Credit.  In order to qualify for the Additional Child Tax Credit, you must have more than $2,500 in earned income. The additional Child Tax Credit is up to $1,700 per child based on your income.   For more information, refer to the TurboTax Help articles: Child Tax Credit: Top 8 Requirements for 2025-2026, What is the Child Tax Credit?, and What is the Additional Child Tax Credit?  

I quit using Stash and closed my acccount. So it has been a pain getting a 1099 B. I finally got it to Turbo tax but it is just a transcript and does not have all my information on it. So I will have to type in all my transactions. Kind of defeating the purpose of paying a tax preparing to do this. An of course I will have to rejoin Stash to get all the information. 

If your income is resported on a Schedule K-1, you can use Home&Business, Premier and possibly others.  If you need to do a return to PRODUCE  a Schedule K-1 for a beneficiary, then you must use Business.

TurboTax is not set up for reporting the sale of an asset (including a vehicle) that has varied in business percentage.   Manually calculating things and manually entering it in the "Sale of Business Property" section can report the correct gain/loss.  However, if the activity qualifies for the QBI deduction, the last I checked reporting it in the Sale of Business Property section will incorrectly not affect QBI if it is supposed to.

This is a 6-page thread of many Mac users.  Many have stated what worked for them.  Read through it, and you'll see several ways users have resolved it.  It would probably be best to look through the comments in reverse order, since the later ones have more info on how to do the workarounds than the early responses.

Thanks @ThomasM125 ! As I was looking for the FMV of the day he passed, I realized it was on a weekend, and the Friday before was a holiday. Would I calculate the average of the high and low of the Thursday before (since that was the last market opening day), the average of the high and low of the Monday after (next market opening day), then take the average of the two?

By increasing your deductions and expenses it will decease your income and you may not be getting as many credits as before like the EIC credit. You can't go by the refund monitor until you have entered everything in. Also after you reduce your income to zero there is no more refund to get back. But even though your taxable income goes down and you owe less income tax on it, you still owe SE Self Employment tax if you have a Net Profit.   Some expenses, such as home office or section 179 depreciation can only be used to reduce your schedule C taxable income to zero, and not to create a loss. Excess deductions for these carry over to the next year. And you have to answer yes to both questions about exclusive and regular use, not just one. The area of your home office must be used regularly and exclusively for business to deduct it.   Or you checked the box on Schedule C line 32b saying Some Investment is Not at Risk. If you have money not at risk you can not take a loss on schedule C. If you don't know what it means then probably All your Investment is at Risk (check Box 32a). It means you are using your own money for the business. People usually check the wrong box.

I agree with you. They've done the same thing to me. They wouldn't even allow me to file my tax return without choosing the premium expert. I know I wasn't getting a lot from federal, but TurboTax is taking most of it, and I am getting back far less than what I was expecting. I do not care about any apologies or excuses for why they are doing this because my mind is made up. I will not be filing with them next tax season. I have been a faithful TurboTax user for years, but I'm completely done with them. If I had to rate them on a scale of 1-10, they'd get a -3. 

As a long time turbo tax customer, I had turbo tax assitance via on the phone, chat, clear cache, deleted my farm, remote in, and did everything they asked to help resolve the error message I received when I tried to edit my income for our ranch and received the "something is wrong error".  I was advised Turbotax is working on resolving the internal error and the customer service was great and tried to resolve the error, but no luck.  Then I did some online research and found that the turbo tax subscription you need to edit your farm/ranch and get the schedule F is the Expert Assist Premium verison. Once I upgraded my turbotax subscription, I was able to edit my farm and open the Schedule F. It only took me over 2 weeks and hours of research to find a possible solution.  Hopefully, I can finish my taxes this week. Figers crossed.
