Form 4562 is only ready for Schedule C and F. The Schedule E area is currently being updated.    The software should be updated after 02/11/26, but our tech team is working hard to have those updates before that date.

Thank you @PatriciaV    I was successful with all of your directions. Thank you -- and I will look into Expert Assist Business.  I did have one question -- in the very first instruction you mention to remove overides as the values are from the day before the exchange was made (99.99).  That seems surprising to me -- why would that be?  It seems like it would make more sense for this to be the final value held at the end of the year (or after the election), which would be zero.  I just want to double check that.

We anticipate the depreciation calculations within the software should be updated by February 13, 2026. Our tech team is working hard to release the updates before that date.    Sign up for email notification here.

If the form displays when you open it in TurboTax Business using Forms Mode, the form will be complete when you e-file the return.   This experience has been reported for further investigation, though it is unlikely a resolution will be available before the filing deadline.

Unless you are self-employed and are using Uber during your work day to travel between jobs or clients, you cannot enter anything about uber rides.   If you are self-employed, and have a home office, your utility bills and internet service may factor in to your business expenses.         W-2 employees cannot enter anything at all for job-related expenses such as uber rides to go to work, utility bills, nor an you enter anything about utility bills, cable service, internet, etc.  Personal loans are not deductible.   If you are itemizing deductions you can enter your out of pocket medical expenses.  But it is very difficult to actually use medical expenses as a deduction.   MEDICAL EXPENSES The medical expense deduction has to meet a rather large threshold before it can affect your return. The amount of medical (including dental, vision, etc.)  expenses that will count toward itemization is the amount that is OVER 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You should only enter the amount that you paid in 2025—do not include any amounts that were covered by insurance or that are still outstanding.  Of course, your medical expenses plus your other itemized deductions still have to exceed your standard deduction before you will see a difference in your tax due or refund.   To enter your medical expenses go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Medical>Medical Expenses       2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS SINGLE $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind + $2000) MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind +1600) MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500  (65 or older/legally blind + $1600) HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)    

No to most of them.   Personal loans are not deductible for tax purposes.  If you purchased a new car in 2025, you may qualify for the New Car loan interest deduction.   Cable TV/Internet, gas and electric bills for your personal use are not deductible for tax purposes.  These are living expenses.   Uber rides for personal trips (not counting medical) are not deductible.   Medical bills, and transportation to medical appointments are deductible as itemized expenses.  However, medical expenses are only deductible for the amount that is over 7.5% of your AGI.  This means, that if your AGI is $50,000 only the amount of your medical that is above $3,750 would be deductible.   Itemized expenses include mortgage interest, gambling losses up to 90% or up to winnings (whichever is less),  charitable contributions, state and local taxes up to $40,000, medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of your AGI and federally declared casualty and losses in excess of 10% of you AGI with the first $100 not counting towards the loss.     Then your total itemized expenses would need to be greater than your standard deduction below in order to benefit from your expenses.  The 2025 Standard Deductions are as follows: Married Filing Joint (MFJ)              $31,500 Married Filing Separate (MFS)      $15,750 Head of Household (HOH)             $23,625  Single                                                 $15,750                                 Blind or over 65 and MFJ or MFS add $1,600 Single or HOH if blind or over 65 add $2.000 Standard Deduction vs. Itemized Deductions: Which Is Better?   The best thing to do is to walk through all of the questions in TurboTax to see if you qualify for any credits or deductions.  Everyone's tax situation is different.
