When can I amend my 2025 return

Yes, TurboTax can do that.   Where do I enter a SSA-1099?   While your lump sum may include benefit payments for more than one year, you do not have to file an amended tax return for any prior year.  You might need to pay taxes on a small portion of your lump-sum payment.  However, you might be able to avoid these taxes by apportioning prior year benefits to those previous years’ income (still without filing any amended returns).   After you enter your lump-sum Social Security payment information, TurboTax will automatically figure out what, if any, taxes you owe due to the lump-sum payment.

The February 13 date for the depreciation section for rental property (schedule E) to be updated has come and gone. Please tell me when it will be ready for use.  It is disappointing that TurboTax would not have this ready in time for people to finish their taxes.  Not a happy customer!!!

My 2025 employer and payroll contributions to my own HSA account: $4,300 (self-plan). Wife's 2025 employer and payroll contributions to her own HSA account: 8,550 (half year self-plan, half year Family plan). TurboTax is saying we overpaid with excess contribution of $4,300. I thought that since we have separate plans and separate HSA accounts that the limit would count separate, is it not true? Does this change if we are filing separately? What are the implications of withdrawing vs not withdrawing the excess?

There should be no audit provided the amounts are correct. I've used this procedure for years with no problems.   Entering data directly into form 1116 worksheet is fine provided that the user has a reasonably good level of expertise because of the fact that there is no guidance as in the step-by-step procedure.

You need to prepare a non-resident return for South Carolina. When you are working on the South Carolina return, you will be asked for the portion of your self-employment income that was earned in South Carolina.  You will see that on the screen that says South Carolina Part-Year and Nonresidents.

Thanks, Hal!  I was pretty sure I knew all the guidelines, and I tried three times to check off all of the answers correctly.  I finally gave up and posed my question to the community.    I went back in, entered everything for the fourth time.... and this time it worked!  I got the $500 child tax credit on my 1040.  Then I returned to the community and found your answer.   Now I have a new question:  How can I get that $500 credit for my daughter-in-law?  We were their sole source of support for eleven months.  I answered the questions the same way for her, but Turbo Tax says she is not our dependent.

My wife and I file jointly.  We both receive SS.  I entered my SS amount and my wife's.  I also enter the IRA distribution for 2025.  On the income summary it is correct..  On the page that provides taxable income it is substantial lower.  I can see where my 12,000 senior deduction is.  But the summary is not correct.  It looks like the summary is not adding in my SS.  I took my SS income to 0.00.  Then added it back in again.   No change.  The total income won overview of taxes is lower by a lot. Did the Trump no tax on SS go through :)????? I phoned to get technical support.  No help.  I was unable to speak to a person.   I have used Turbotax for a number of years with no problems.   This year I can not file my  with Turbo tax.  Any suggestions for an alternative?

Hi Experts, Myself and my family we came to USA on July 12, 2025. We didn't satisfy 183 day rule. Is it still  possible to claim Child tax credit for 2025? Me and my wife we have ssn. I have not applied for ITIN yet for my children. If I am not eligible to claim Child tax credit can I file my return without ITIN for my children this year? In TurboTax online filing should I not include them as dependent? Appreciate your inputs. Thanks Nelson

I tried doing a summary but there wasn't anywhere to enter disallowed wash sales summarized on the same 1099.  Referencing this post it was indicated that wash sales must be entered manually so I just decided to enter them all manually to not risk having multiple summaries in the same category that didn't match the 1099.  Both my wash sales and my expired (with value, not expired worthless) call and put options were in short term covered transactions. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-how-to-enter-manually-1099-summary-with-washsales/01/3507183

There is a way to allocate income and expenses for part-year residents of California for situations like this. Please see this thread which I posted several years ago, to see if you can make this work.   Don't do an override in Forms mode, but go to the Step-by-Step mode for California, what I call the interview.   I have done several responses over the years on this subject, so perhaps another one might work better for you.

A law was pasted in 2025 eliminating GPO and WEP penalties in Social Security.  I received a lump sum payment in 2025 from SS for my lost 2024 monies.  I understand this lump sum money can be taxed on my 2024 or 2025 tax rate depending what is best for the taxpayer.  IRS pub 915 have worksheets to determine.  Can 2025 Turbo Tax calculate this and produce appropriate worksheets?  If so where do you enter this info within the Turbo Tax program?

In TT Business desktop for a Trust there is no place to enter the Virginia Tax Credit (PTET) listed in the VK-1 from the LLC to the Trust, page 2 Part III (refundable credits) #10 either in Easy Step or Forms.  AND when I search for Virginia Schedule CR in Forms for the Virginia return, it is blank.

Thank you @BillM223 Yes, the workaround of setting January 2024 to none works for me. With this adjustment, TurboTax’s statement now reflects a zero value: “We calculated [zero] of income must be included in your return this year because of the last-month rule. In rare circumstances, you may need to change this number if your marital status changed in 2024 or 2025.”
