Thank you DoninGA, your answer nailed it. The Bot in the software was useless no matter how I changed the question, always starting with go to tools or folder, very frustrating. Your help was much appreciated. 

Taking a payout and transferring it to your US bank account, will be considered a taxable event and will be reportable as income in the year that you make the transfer.  If you pay any taxes in Australia for the distribution, these taxes can be claimed for a foreign tax credit on your US return.   Since you have been living in the US for a few years now, hopefully you have been keeping up with the annual reporting requirements of foreign accounts that DawnC mentioned to you in the previous post.

No, the form needs to be correct. I just created a whole new return and added the 1099-R and went through every one of the questions asking about IRA's. You input the basis on one screen. Another screen asks for the value at the end of the year, I used zero for that claiming I had rolled it all over. I am having no issue. Here is what I did: Enter the 1099-R Check I converted it to Roth Did you convert all? I said yes Done Disaster, no Nondeductible contributions, yes, enter basis on Dec 31, 2024 I entered $xxx Value on Dec 31, 2025 - I entered zero, as if I had emptied the account Form is perfect. I can't see what you are doing but customer support can. You may want to give it one more go and then  contact support.   I wonder if you could have a piece of data stuck. A full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files). Online version: Delete the form  8606 and 1099-R, see How to Delete   Log out of your return and try one or more of the following: Don't use Internet Explorer. Clear cache and cookies, Sign in using a different browser. Sign in using a different device. Log back into your return. Enter the information again.  Desktop version:  Delete the form 8606 and 1099-R Save your return while closing the program. Update the program Open Enter the information again.  

When your work duties commence it appears you will be working in New York, so that may take precedent over your current job situation. It would be different if you were currently working remotely. But since the income is an advance on work you will be doing as a New York resident, it is likely New York income.   The normal primary considerations are if you have an office in New York that you work out of at least occasionally and does your employer require you to work from home? If the answer to both of these questions is "no" then you would have a case for your income not being taxable in New York. But that would likely only apply if you were actually working.    

You need to restart your computer.  But before you do you need to clear your cache and cookies.  The system thinks that there is an instance of TurboTax still running so it is killing the new instances instead of letting them load.   Here's how to clear your cache.     Here's how to delete your cookies.

There are many items with a contribution limit. I'll assume you're asking about your IRA. If it's something else, please specify. This forum has no access to your return. An IRA contribution can not exceed compensation, which includes wages, commissions, self-employment income (reduced by the self-employment tax and contributions to other retirement plans), and certain other items.  

Same is happening to me.  I never said I had a Canadian anything. Also, I am a US Govt. retiree. It never asked for my 1099-R from that. I filled it out myself, and the questions I am getting are like it was an RMD, not my monthly pension. Also, it stuck an account number in there that is NOTHInG like my real account number. On the list of 1099-Rs, that is says I must review (except there is no review option, only edit and delete), there is some Federal Financial LLC that I have never heard of. It is on there twice. When I pull the first one up, there is the info from an IRA retirement RMD on it.   This software is extremely messed up, to the point of being unusable by me.

The entire rental activity, income and expenses, and asset being depreciated and sold, should be entered in TurboTax for a disregarded entity so that the income and expenses will appear on Schedule E and the sale information will appear on Form 4797 / Schedule D as appropriate.    All of this should be done in Interview / Step-by-step mode so that all of of the relevant questions are answered. See this help article for information on entering the income and expenses.   You can also import information from Quicken or QuickBooks if applicable. There is a screen in the interview for that.   If you would like assistance with the interview, see this help article for information on how to get a live session with an Expert.    @jbinsantamonica 

Please clarify if you are referring to a subtraction from income on Wisconsin Form 1, Schedule SB. The link below shows the allowable modifications. WI Form 1 Instructions - page 14 With greater detail we can provide more direct instruction.

Did you input your 2024 tax liability into TurboTax?  It's under Other Tax Situations --> Additional Tax Payments.   If you did have your 2024 tax liability entered, when did you pay the 2025 estimated taxes?  Estimated taxes generally need to be paid in 4 equal payments, by 4/15, 6/15, 9/15 and 1/15/2026.

Yes, if your wife's name and SSN is on the 1099-S, you should report it (her share).   Given that's the case, you don't want a K-1 at this point because it would do nothing more than duplicate the sale.
