No, you don't enter the full 1098 amount twice.  You should enter the interest expense in the "Rental Property" section following these steps:   If your rental property is located out-of-state, make sure you first set up that state properly in My Info (TurboTax Online) or Personal Info (TurboTax Desktop). That way, when you do your state taxes, we'll be ready to go. To enter your rental: TurboTax Desktop: Search for rentals and select the Jump to link or, Go to Federal Taxes. Go to Wages & Income. If asked, How do you want to enter your income?, select I'll choose what I work on. Under Rental Properties and Royalties, select Start or Update next to Rental Properties and Royalties (Sch E). Answer Yes to the question Did you have any income from rentals or royalties? On the next screen, Let's see if you're a real estate professional, select any options that apply to you. On the screen What are you here to report?, select Rental property and Continue. If you have more than one rental property to report, no problem—just start with one, and we’ll come back to the other one(s) later. On the following screens, enter all the info we need about your rental property, including a description of the property, your rental income, any expenses and assets, and other less common situations about your rental. Tip: Rent is considered income in the year you received it, not the year it applies to. This means that a rent payment for the month of January 2025 collected in December 2025 is reported on your 2025 return. If you're also filing a nonresident state return to report income from an out-of-state rental property, be sure to complete your nonresident state return before you prepare your resident state return when you get to the State taxes section.

@Db9091    2/11 is very old news, the date moved due to late finalization of this form by IRS and this form was released last Thursday 2/19 as per later comments in this thread and many others.  If you are on desktop check for latest s/w update.  if you are online it should be automatic but may need to clear cache/cookies and log back in.   as for charging you $40 if you don't file "soon" not sure what this is referring to unless you had some offer to 'reduce' your filing fees that required filing by 2/28?  - but no one here can resolve those type of issues, you would need to take that up by calling Turbotax and say "billing" as reason for the call.
Thank you very much!

Yes, if his income was more than $2850.   The general rule is (and it applies in your case): your report all your income on your home state return, even the income earned out of state. You file a non-resident state return for the state you worked in and pay tax to that state. Your home state will give you a credit, or partial credit, for what you paid the non-resident state. You will have to file a non resident IN state return and pay IN tax on the income earned there.. You will also file an IL full year resident return and calculate tax on ALL your income. IL will give you a credit, or partial credit, for the tax you pay IN. So, there will be little or no double taxation, but you have the cost and hassle of filing two state returns. Do the nonresident state return first.   Doing the returns in the correct sequence insures that your IL return will include the credit for the tax you pay to IN (state & local).

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.    Sometimes—not always— the IRS corrects your mistakes, while they are processing your return.    If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X is scheduled to be available on February 26.   The date is subject to change, so check on 2-26  to see if it is ready.   Before that, do not change anything at all on your return.

As of today, 2/22/26, I'm still unable to efile my GA partnership returns.  The message says "Tax Year 2025 transmissions are not available. TurboTax Business is not ready to process Tax Year 2025 for this return."  The website for forms availability says GA partnership forms were due to be ready on 2/20/26.  https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotaxbusiness_ga_windows_partnership.html Anyone have any idea when these forms can be efiled?

If you didn't include the 1099-NEC income on your filed return:   If your return isn't complete, you will probably need to file a new return (Form 1040-X) to report the extra income. However, wait until the current return finishes processing and wait for more instructions from the IRS.   Don't amend while a 570/907 hold still active unless the IRS specifically instructs you to.

Enter the Form 1099-MISC just as you received it under each rental property.     Then, for the first rental property where the management company did not report the total rent received, but they subtracted expenses from the amount reported in box 1, add another income amount in the cash category for that property to cover the amount that was deducted from your rental income and not reported on the Form 1099-MISC.  Since the income is accounted for as cash, you can deduct the repair expenses and management fees as rental expenses under that property.   No adjustments need to be made for the second property where the management company reported the full amount of rent received on the Form 1099-MISC.  Deduct the expenses under this property as you normally would.

There is a fix underway to the 1099-Q section of TurboTax (TT). The fix is expected by Feb 27.  I don't know, for sure, if this issue is being addressed.   Try going thru the interview again (or delete the 1099-Q and start over). It worked correctly, on my desktop (download) Deluxe, but not the first time.  What I noted my second time through was that I got a screen asking whether all or part of the distribution was transferred.    You can just not report the 1099-Q, at all.  The 1099-Q is  only an informational document. The numbers on it are not required to be entered onto your (or your student's) tax return. The interview is complicated and it's easy to make mistakes. Avoid it if you can and you probably can.  You can just not report the 1099-Q, at all, if your student-beneficiary has sufficient educational expenses, including a roll over, to cover the distribution. When the box 1 amount on form 1099-Q is fully covered by expenses (or roll over amount), TurboTax will enter nothing about the 1099-Q on the actual tax forms. But, it will prepare a 1099-Q worksheet for your records (you don’t need it). You would still have to do the math to see if there were enough expenses left over for you to claim the tuition credit. You also cannot count expenses that were paid by tax free scholarships. References: On form 1099-Q, instructions to the recipient reads: "Nontaxable distributions from CESAs and QTPs are not required to be reported on your income tax return. You must determine the taxability of any distribution."  IRS Pub 970 states: “Generally, distributions are tax free if they aren't more than the beneficiary's AQEE for the year. Don't report tax-free distributions (including qualifying rollovers) on your tax return”. "IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education states: If the entire 1099-Q went to qualified expenses, room and board, tuition, etc; then, you do not need to enter the form."
