I'm sorry if someone's already responded to  this question: like everyone else, I'm waiting for the depreciation/amortization form on our rental properties to be out.  I purchased a washing machine and dryer for my rental in 2025 and paid $1,995. I'm going to expense it for 2025 rather than depreciate it. I'm wondering is i t  ok to just put it in "other expenses" rather than wait for the missing form from Turbo Tax? thank you
Saving the return, exiting, and going back in helped clear whatever was going on...

I think you are entering a Form 1099-MISC. If so, you need to indicate that you did not have a profit motive for the income, that it will only be received in the current year and it is not associated with your job. You will see questions about that in the section where you enter the Form 1099-MISC. If you do that, the income will not be reported as self-employment income on a Schedule C.  
I thought I could always count on Turbo Tax and have used them for years - now no help line at all - how do I report the sale of a rental property

Enter all your Roth IRA contributions before Jan 1 2025.  Turbotax uses this information to determine if a withdrawal will be taxable.  Do not enter contributions to a traditional IRA, whether they are deductible or nondeductible.  Do not include contributions to a Roth 401k or 403b plan because workplace plans are not IRAs.

No, you don't enter anything directly on the forms when using TurboTax.  Are the losses from selling securities?   If so, those get entered into the Investment sales section.   Where do I enter investment sales?   Or if you have rental losses, those get entered in the Rental Income and Expenses section.    Where do I enter my rental activity?   And if you have K-1 forms, follow the path in this help article - Where do I enter a K-1?  
The credit is claimed as of the date the solar system is installed using the full contracted price, even if you did not pay all at once.  You need to amend your 2024 return to claim this credit.  
Community, I figured it out.  Just proceed as if entering a 1099-B and use a custom Bank/Broker name like “Private Stock Sale”, then can proceed from there to enter the info from there.
