If you are looking at your 1040 tax return. Line 24 is the total tax for all of the income that you had.   Line 25d is the total withholding from all income, including your W-2s Line 26 is estimated tax payments if you made any. Line 32 shows any Credits you may have (Earned Income Credit, Additional Child Tax Credit ETC.) Line 33 is the total of all three, and it represents the total amount that will go against the taxes you owe.   If Line 33 is bigger than Line 24, you will get a refund. Line 34 r3presents the refund   If line 33 is less than line 24, you will owe taxes Line 37 is the amount that you owe.  

Sorry---Its Deductible was eliminated in October 2025.   It has not yet been replaced with a different way to evaluate donations, although TurboTax says that eventually there will be a replacement.   We do not know anything about what or when.

It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2025" file to test this issue further.   If you would be willing to send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information, please follow these instructions:    In TurboTax Desktop, open your return and go to Online in the TurboTax header. (On a Mac computer, choose Share or Help.) Choose Send Tax File to Agent. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click Send on this screen and wait for the Token number to appear. Reply to this thread with a screenshot of your Token number (this avoids Community filters for numbers with a dash) and tag (@) the Expert requesting the token from you. Please include any States that are part of your return - this is VERY important. We will then be able to see the same experience you are having. If we are able to determine the cause, we'll reply here and possibly provide you with a resolution.

When you start your Minnesota tax return there will be a section for "Income that Minnesota handles differently".  Since you have the K1 entered on your federal return you will get an option to enter a "Pass through entity payment".  Once you have entered it schedule PTE will be added to your return with the amount paid on your behalf included on it.

Here is an example of calculating the selling price for each asset. Just include the closing costs as part of your selling expenses.    Any repairs should be included as an expense on rental activity. Also if you have a passive loss carryover see the instructions below to be sure it's accounted for in the year of sale in full.   How you prorate the selling price to each of the assets including the land.   For any asset, such as appliances, that really have no value because they are past the recovery period of five years you can use a zero.   Use the original cost of each asset listed on depreciation, add those together then divide each one by the combined total to find the percentage of the cost for each asset.  Use that percentage times the sales price and sales expenses to find the selling price/sales expenses for each asset. If you want you can check the allocation of building and land in your county real estate tax office, on file now.   Example:  Original Cost (of each asset on your depreciation schedule) $10,000 Land                = 13.33%  $50,000 House              = 66.67% $15,000 Improvements  = 20% $75,000 Total                 = 100%  Multiply each percentage times the sales price/sales expenses to arrive at each individual sales price/sales expense.   Passive Activity Loss Entry if applicable: Assuming your passive losses were carried over each year, this will be a separate and identifiable entry which will carry to the Schedule E.  The full remainder of passive loss carryover is used in the year of sale as an expense. This is combined with your overall rental gain or loss to your Form 1040.  When you are on the screen 'Do any of these situations apply to this property?' (Property Profile section), be sure to check the box under Carryovers.  See my notes below on entering the sales price/expenses for each asset inside the rental activity. You need to dispose of the property by telling TurboTax how and when it was disposed of.  Follow the instructions below.

I would suspect that no H&R Block users running Windows 10 are making any such switch. Or if they did, then they were returning their copy of 2025 TurboTax for a refund when they learned of this caveat. One would hope that that Block's decision making consultants are more in tune with what the buying public wants than Intuit appears to be. As for being concerned about what 2026 will bring, the wisest choice is to make decisions based on what is prudent and cost effective in a black and white TODAY, not some nebulous tomorrow. A scenario that TurboTax seems to have missed taking into consideration. A year that someone can continue using their Windows 10 machine instead of having to buy a new one is money saved today not having to be spend it unnecessarily today.  Doesn't Inuit understand personal finances? My, that is a shocking thought, isn't it?

No. Education expenses for grades K-12 are not deductible on your Federal return, whether for private, public, or home schooling, nor are the expenses for tutoring, after school lessons or after school activities, such as dance lessons, sports, etc.  Some states allow deductions/credits for K-12 education and/or home schooling expenses; if your state has these deductions available, you will be prompted to enter them when you prepare your state return.  (As far as I know, the states that offer any sort of K-12 deductions/credits are Arizona,  Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, and Wisconsin)

Windows or Mac?   Yeah the minus in front of Form 1040 is glitching on mine too.  Should be able to click on it and it should collapse the federal forms.  Do you have Open Form at the top of the left column?  Click on that.    OK now it'working for me.   I went to Open Forms and opened a state form.  Now the state shows  up at the bottom of the left column with the minus sign.  I think it just takes a minute to populate the list.
