The withdrawal is always subject to regular income tax, there are no exceptions to that.   If you are under age 59-1/2, there is an additional 10% penalty for early withdrawal.  The only exception to the penalty that will apply to your case is to exempt the penalty on up to $1000 used for an emergency personal expense.  The rest of the withdrawal will be subject to the penalty.

Yes, you are correct. The credit for your resident state (North Carolina) can only be calculated by using the tax liability for South Carolina (SC) and not total withholding.    @NCJLM 
As you can see, the estimated taxes link does not appear.

No, you don't need to pay tax on the earnings. You can roll over a 529 plan to another 529 plan directly (trustee to trustee) or indirectly, provided the funds are deposited into the new plan within 60 days. This is allowed once every 12 months for the same beneficiary.  You do not need to report the 1099-Q on your tax return as long as you met the rollover requirements.

Thus, you just need to enter the K-1 you have twice, one for Box 1 and one more time for Box 2. You don't want TurboTax Business to generate two separate K-1s just because you have figures in Boxes 1 and 2.

Thanks @RogerD1  for the quick response. Agreed, there are many categories of miscellaneous state tax addbacks that belong in line 1(e). Items such as bonus depreciation, QBI (which is applicable in my return), and so on. Curious: Did you prepare the mock return using the desktop version of TurboTax Home & Business? Here's what I tried for diagnostics: I thought that maybe the presence of the QBI (which in itself triggers the program to activate line 1(e) for the misc addbacks) might be tripping it up, so I changed the federal return saying that the business did not qualify for QBI. That way, the program should just put the tax addback onto line 1(a) and line 1(e) should be totally blank. Not successful. Very similar issue, here's the screenshots: Here's the pdf of SC1040 showing the $1976 in 1(a) and $1978 in 1(e) Here's the detail sheet showing how the $1976 value is calculated (this is part of the printed worksheets from the SC returns). I believe this to be correctly calculated. Here's the main screen showing the "items that SC treats differently" - you can see that it has $1978 as "other additions" which is the code for line 1(e): And then, if you click edit on that screen to see where the $1978 is coming from, you get this (which cannot be deleted): As an aside, the $1976 that goes into line 1(a) (which I believe is correctly calculated via the worksheet and correctly placed on 1(a)) is neither accessible nor visible anywhere is the desktop front end. And the $1978 is only visible when pressing the edit key on the Other Additions screen.   Any other thoughts? I might try editing / overriding the forms directly. If that doesn't work I guess I'll have to manually print forms and file by mail. Thanks and best regards k2michelin

From the answer above, and just to be clear, I am a resident of the state of Alabama. I sold a secondary house (never used for business purposes) in the state of Florida. That sale had capital gains. I should claim those capital gains on my Alabama state tax (as well as federal) but do not have to file Florida state tax or pay any state tax to the state of Florida. If this is incorrect, please let me know.
I worked it out. Followed your instructions for deleting a form to prior question. Thanks.

I’m seeking advice on how to report an unlawful employee discrimination settlement against my employer under Title VII which I received in tax year 2025. There is a minor caveat. I received an out of court employment discrimination settlement which I had filed against my employer with the EEOC, and I also hired a private attorney to represent me. The orgin of the complaint is unlawful discrimination under Title VII. My attorney worked with the EEOC, and my employer decided to settle for $900,000 which I agreed. My attorney fee was $270,000. My employer paid the attorney directly the $270,000 attorney fee and then the employer gave me a physical check for the balance directly (which was $630,000.) I expected to receive a 1099-MISC from my employer for the entire $900,000 settlement. I was going to enter that 1099-MISC as is (which would get assigned as other income in turbo tax.) I was then going to deduct the $270,000 attorney fee on schedule 1 line 24-h as a “Qualified attorney fees paid after 10/22/04 for unlawful discrimination.” The employer instead sent me a 1099-MISC only for the amount they paid me directly, which was $630,000. They did not include the amount of $270.000 which they paid directly to the attorney. With this situation, I believe it may be correct to enter the 1099-MISC for $630,000 as reported (which will be assigned as other income in turbo tax), then enter the $270,000 attorney fee that was paid directly to the attorney as prizes and awards (on schedule 1 line 8-i), then show an adjustment in the amount of $270,000 for the attorney fee on Schedule 1 line 24-h. In this way, I am reporting the entire amount of the settlement as required by the IRS. Does this seem correct?

Yes, all of the expenses you deduct will reduce your overall income on your self employment activity.    No, you will not owe any tax on the reimbursement portion of the amount on your 1099-NEC because you are reducing that amount by all the expenses that were part of the total amount. The reimbursements included in the total payments are the expenses used on your business.   @Petya Miteva

What I am gathering is that TT business should have created two separate k-1 forms.  One for the sale of the rental properties and the other for the actual rental income and expenses for the year.  So far,  the 1040 and Ohio taxes are not accepting the K-1 from the TT business.  I am having a hard time finding a CPA who is willing to come in at this late stage especially because I've used TT for 29 years.  I relied on TT.  It's sad that their program cannot accept their own generated K-1 form. It doesn't seem that they care to fix it because I keep updating but nothing is working.

Your last representative, Jaden hung up on me. She was unable to answer. My question had very little interest in my question and very little understanding of the subject matter.
Exactly as I thought. Thank you for your reply.

Thank you MarilynG1 for your message. My main concern is the "link between "College Student Information and Student information worksheet ". It is not possible to reach the tech programmers to tell them about glitches. How do they know what to fix. The customer support agent has no way in connecting with software Techs (as stated by them). The frustration mounts and I linger waiting for the fixes in the weekly updates. TurboTax should create reasonable communication methods between the programmers and users.
