I get the following error in the review: RFM Misc Itemized Deductions Stmt: PT I, Fed Estate Tax is not between the prescribed upper and lower limits. Not sure I even have Fed Estate tax and there is no way to jump to the item to fix this. Is this a bug in the California tax program?

If your return gets accepted you will have to file an amended return. But the IRS should catch that for you and send you a bill. A common reason could be the Foreign question. Go back through the Social Security questions. There is a screen asking if you lived in a foreign place. People have been answering it wrong or skipping it. And it is for each spouse. Also check if you ssn is valid for employment under My Info or Personal Info. That can affect many things. Needs to be yes.

That would be an asset since you replaced the property as opposed to repairing it. Also, you have increased the value of the property and extended its useful life.

Filing single, TurboTax did not calculate any tax on my Social Security and I am way over the threshold. It did this correctly last year. I realized this after I filed. Happen to anyone else?

Try entering 0 for the AGI. The IRS might have processed your return later so the AGI didn't get entered in time. Especially if you mailed it. That works for most people. See, https://ttlc.intuit....

You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

I feel exactly the same way and have been using Turbotax for many years. "Experts" keep posting and reposting solutions to this problem that DO NOT WORK.

New York State Underpayment Penalty Calculation still has a problem, now for the 2025 tax year. TurboTax just dumps all the income into 4Q25 and claims no penalty is warranted. This issue was reported for the 2024 tax year, and apparently has not yet been resolved. Please advise.

The amount on line 5(a) on Schedule A would be the amount of state income or sales taxes you paid during 2025, not your tax liability for the year. So, you would have to include your tax withheld as reported on your W-2 forms and other tax statements as well as state taxes paid in 2025 from your 2024 state income tax return. You would also include any state estimated taxes paid in 2025. Thus, it is the tax paid in, not your tax liability on your 2025 state tax return.

In years past a fmv has been part of TurboTax to use for donations to places like Goodwill. When will it be available for this year?

Hi, I am stuck in a loop at reviewing my return documents. If I click "Continue", the reviewing will be run again and take me back to the same step. I do have a W-2 form with empty box 1 (Wages, tips, other compensation), but the box 16 (State wages, tips, etc.) has non-zero values. This is one of the two W-2 forms I have. I am fine with mailing the return documents (instead of e-filing). What should I proceed at this point? Thanks!

Can you clarify; are you self-employed?

How do I increase the basis of my IRA? Would that be to report the dividend amount as non-deductible IRA on Form 8606? If so, how do I input it via TurboTax?

Brave on windows 11; I went to 'Settings' - set both 'Trackers & ads blocking' and 'Upgrade connections to HTTPS' to 'Disabled' ... then went through the Schwab download. Success! Some how the browser was blocking the listing of the documents when you went to confirm them in Turbotax.
