If you received a "Success" message but your data hasn't appeared in TurboTax, it may be due to recent browser security updates regarding Local Network Access.   To fix this, you need to allow TurboTax to securely retrieve your data through your browser settings:   Locate the View Site Information icon (the "tune" or "lock" icon) on the far left of your address bar, just before the URL. Find Local Network Access in the dropdown menu. Toggle the switch to ON. Refresh the page and attempt your import again. If permissions aren't the issue, one of the following factors may be at play:   Brokerage Delays: While most forms arrive by January 31, many brokerages delay Consolidated 1099s (like the 1099-B) until mid-February due to complex reporting requirements. Availability: Your brokerage must specifically "release" the import file to TurboTax. If it isn’t ready, we recommend checking back. Connection Blocks: Active VPNs or aggressive Anti-Virus software can occasionally block the import feature between your bank and TurboTax. Try disabling them temporarily or switching to a different browser. Helpful TurboTax Articles: What if I can't import my 1099? How can I fix my 1099 import issue? How do I import my 1099s?

Instead of a city tax return, you should file Form 10A with the Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA), which handles the tax administration for Youngstown.  On this form, you can select the reason for the refund as  "Withheld by Mistake" and enter your work address. You will also need to have your employer sign the "Employer's Certification" section of the form to verify that you did not actually work within the Youngstown city limits.   Further, if your employer is still withholding them, you should ask your payroll department to stop the withholding. 

As you may already know, this won't flow automatically from the K-1; the information for each partner will be reported on the respective Schedules K-1, and then each individual recipient partner will input their own 1040 Form 4797 based on that K-1 information. The 1040 Schedule 1 will pick it up from the 4797. From the 2025 instructions for Form 1065 K-1 Line 20: Code L. Dispositions of property with section 179 deductions. This represents gain or loss on the sale, exchange, or other disposition of property for which a section 179 deduction has been passed through to partners. The partnership must provide all the following information related to such dispositions (see the instructions for page 1, line 6, earlier).  • Description of the property.  • Date the property was acquired and placed in service.  • Date of the sale or other disposition of the property.  • The partner’s share of the gross sales price or amount realized.  • The partner’s share of the cost or other basis plus expense of sale (reduced as explained in the instructions for Form 4797, line 21).  • The partner’s share of the depreciation allowed or allowable, determined as described in the instructions for Form 4797, line 22, but excluding the section 179 deduction.  • The partner’s share of the section 179 deduction (if any) passed through for the property and the partnership’s tax year(s) in which the amount was passed through. (con'td)   Per the above, use box 20 Code L to report this information. See also: distributions of property on K-1 Line 19b.

I do have enough itemized deductions. However, the refund amount is exactly the same as filing with a standard deduction. Seems odd. The difference is only $624 more on line 12e of form 1040 if filing itemized. When filing "standard deductions" line 12e on form 1040 shows $17,750. When I look at Schedule A, line 17 shows $18,374 which should transfer to line 12e on the 1040 but it does not. If the standard deduction is $15,750, why is $17,750 showing?
