Whatever way you agree.  Ideally, that would be decided in your divorce agreement.  If you live in a community property state, there is a date when the marital community ended, it might be the divorce date, or separation date, or something else.  You probably need to divide dividends from before the end of the community 50/50, and you would divide the dividends from after that date according to your divorce agreement. 

Yes.  This would be an eligible itemized medical expense.  Medical expenses are deductible for the amount that is above 7.5% of your AGI.  This means if your AGI is $50,000, medical expenses that are over $3,750 are deductible as part of the itemize expenses.    Itemized expenses also include mortgage interest, gambling losses within limitations, charitable contributions, state and local taxes up to $40,000,  and federally declared casualty and losses.     Then your total itemized expenses would need to be greater than your standard deduction below in order to benefit from your expenses.  The 2025 Standard Deductions are as follows: Married Filing Joint (MFJ)              $31,500 Married Filing Separate (MFS)      $15,750 Head of Household (HOH)             $23,625  Single                                                 $15,750                                 Blind or over 65 and MFJ or MFS add $1,600 Single or HOH if blind or over 65 add $2.000 Standard Deduction vs. Itemized Deductions: Which Is Better?  

Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit.

Condolences on loss of your husband in 2024. It appears he may have died late in in 2024. If pension payments ended on your husband's date of death in 2024 (i.e., a single life annuity), the payment received in January may be  income of his estate - "income in respect of a decedent" - and therefore should be includible on his estate's income tax return. If pension payments continued to be made to you in the same amount for your lifetime (i.e., a joint and survivor annuity), some or all of the amount of the January payment received in January may be your income in 2025. If that is the case, it is suggested that you contact the pension plan administrator and ask them to issue you a corrected 2025 Form 1099-R, which would include the amount of the January payment that is taxable to you. If you receive an amended 1099-R, re-enter the corrected information to TurboTax. In either case, if an attorney is involved in the settlement of the estate, you should discuss with them. Hope this information helps .

We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question? Are you trying to import information?   Helpful TurboTax Articles: What if I can't import my 1099? How can I fix my 1099 import issue? How do I import my 1099s? How do I enter a large number of stock transactions in TurboTax? If you received a "Success" message but your data hasn't appeared in TurboTax, it is likely due to recent browser security updates regarding Local Network Access.   To fix this you need to allow TurboTax to securely retrieve your data through your browser settings: Locate the View Site Information icon (the "tune" or "lock" icon) on the far left of your address bar, just before the URL. Find Local Network Access in the dropdown menu. Toggle the switch to ON. Refresh the page and attempt your import again. What do I do when my data isn't imported into TurboTax Desktop even though it says successful import in my browser? If permissions aren't the issue, one of the following factors may be at play: Brokerage Delays: While most forms arrive by January 31, many brokerages delay Consolidated 1099s (like the 1099-B) until mid-February due to complex reporting requirements. Availability: Your brokerage must specifically "release" the import file to TurboTax. If it isn’t ready, we recommend checking back. Connection Blocks: Active VPNs or aggressive Anti-Virus software can occasionally block the import feature between your bank and TurboTax. Try disabling them temporarily or switching to a different browser.

Yes, you can file the 2025 correctly now. The change you make to the rental home cost basis, reduced by the land value, will make the 2025 return correct allowing you to file it now. Also be sure you did enter the land value where indicated in this rental home asset. An amendment of the 2024 return will correct it but will not make any change to the 2025 return. In other words, no amendment will be required for your 2025 tax return.   There only action in 2026 will be the recapture of the depreciation claimed in 2024, 2025 and 2026. In other words the tax for the part of the gain that is attributable to the reduction in your cost basis for depreciation deductions all years.   Yes, only the 2024 tax return would be required to be amended. The 2025 tax return is being filed accurately, as will the 2026 return. The only penalty will be late payment and interest for the additional tax due on the 2024 tax return when amended because of a lower depreciation deduction resulting in higher overall income. It doesn't seem like it would be significant since it only applies to the depreciation change.   Here are the amendment procedures for the 2024 tax return. Follow the instructions in the link below to take the necessary steps to amend in TurboTax Desktop or TurboTax Online.   The amendment can be completed using the steps in the link below.
