I finally gave up. None of the recommendations worked. But TT said my return was accurate, I filed my taxes, and received a notice that I should have my refund before the week ends. I redid my taxes at least 3 times, wasting hours of time. Definitely rethinking TT for next year as they should be more active in resolving an issue like this. BS!

That depends.  You need to find out if her mother put on her return that she was splitting the cost of the insurance with another individual - which would be your daughter - or if she just had the totals on her tax return as hers.  If she put that she was splitting it then you need to put the other half on your return.  If she didn't then you do not.   Leaving the 1095-A off your return may cause a rejection from the IRS since your child has their social security number on a marketplace health care plan.  If you also have health care on a 1095-A that won't be a problem.  If you don't you may have to mail in your tax return.

You are not missing any nuance. You explained you never lived in or used this home as your personal residence.    As a beneficiary you are allowed to use a loss against any capital gains and your other income. This is considered an investment property because you had no personal use. The maximum loss allowed in excess of any other capital gains will be $3,000 and any remaining can carry over if applicable.   If you do receive a K1, use that to report the loss following the steps in the link here: Where do I enter a K1 I received? Report your sale as follows if a K1 is not received:   Your cost basis is the fair market value on the date of death of the decedent, plus the capital improvements (not repairs but improvements that are capital in nature).  The expenses of sale will reduce any gain or increase any loss as well. This is entered as the sale of investment property and can be entered as follows. Enter the inherited property sale in TurboTax using the steps provided.   Open or continue your return: Choose the Search box and type 'sale of second home' then use the Jump to link to enter your inherited sale) or follow the menu.  In TurboTax Online select 'See more' in the FAQ then click 'sold second home'.

funny how i was told variations on all of those fixes while using the online version, and all the fixes did was cause me to delete and re-enter my 98Ts and 99Qs way too many times. i agree their customer service is doing their best, but they simply have a crappy product this year. if anyone has insight on where TT went off the rails in 2026, please share. in the meantime, i suggest mentioning this issue on multiple social media sites and see if you can get them to fix the desktop version sooner rather than later.

Thanks MarilynG1.  Please note that the following paragraph on Form 1099-Q Copy B for Recipient is a bit intimidating:  "This is important tax information and is being furnished to the IRS.  If you are required to file a return a negligence penalty or other sanction may be imposed on you if the income tax and the IRS determines that it has not been reported."  I think TurboTax should allow for reporting of 1099-Q and when Box 4b is check as "QTP to Roth IRA", then the TurboTax software should remove the gross distribution from taxable income.  In my mind, if the IRS software tries to reconcile 1099-Q on its own with Box 4b status, then that is one thing.  However, the "intimidation" part is not reporting 1099-Q seems to be negligence.   So, I feel we are dancing a tightrope on negligence. 

If you used desktop software downloaded/installed from a CD to your own computer, then the tax files are stored locally on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.  They are not stored online.  If you cannot recover them due to a hard drive failure, etc. you can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30 an actual copy of your tax return. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf
