We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question?

I have both 1098-T and 1099-Q for my daughter this year and I am wondering where I need to enter those.   The 1099-Q is from a 529 that we have had for her and we paid the college directly from that 529.  The 1099-Q shows her SSN in the recipient's TIN   So do we file that in her taxes or do we put that in ours?  Also, for the 1098-T do we put that in hers or ours?     Last year we entered both in our taxes but the 1099-Q was from a different 529 account and it had my wife's SSN as the recipient's TIN.   Thanks

This past year we started renting out space above our attached garage.  We rented it in Sept, Oct, Nov and December and that space represents about 23% of our overall square footage of the house. In TT I entered the following: 1.  Its a single family )home where a single family lives) - Is this correct? 2. I put that I rent out part of my home 3. It was not rented all year 4. It was rented for 122 days 5. I will enter the amounts and let TT do the calculations 6. I enter 23% for rental use percentage   I then entered the total rental income for those 4 months of renting.   As for expenses I put in only the 4 months of expenses (insurance, property taxes, mortgage interest) by taking the total of each, dividing by 12 and then multiplying by 4.   TT then calculated the 23% of each of those on my schedule E.     So on my schedule E for real estate taxes for example it  shows: (total real estate taxes was 6492) 2164 as the total with 498 as reported on schedule E (for the rental) and 1666 for personal us (I entered 2164 because that is (6492/12) * 4.  TT then calculated the 23% On my schedule A it shows 5994 for real estate taxes (which the 498+5994 comes out to total 6492)   Did I do this correctly?  Between the two areas the total comes out right, so it seems I have done it correctly, but want to make sure.  I have done the same for mortgage interest.

That's not uncommon, depending on the particular state.  Some states are fairly quick with refunds, while other states can take a long time processing returns--even several weeks--as they crack down on detecting fraudulent returns.     Here are some things you should check:   First, you need to be sure your state return was successfully filed.   If you efiled, be sure your efiled state return was accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can check by looking at the Tax Home in your Online account.   Or did you choose to file by mail instead?  TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you have to print, sign, date, and mail it.   The FAQ below tells how to check on a state refund.   When you scroll down further there, you will see a link for your state.   FAQ:  How do I track my state refund? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...

This error code that is causing my tax return to be rejected by the IRS ... if it happens more than 5 times will it cause me to have to submit my 2025 tax return by paper only for any return I want to file?  I have two individual returns I need to file and I don't want TurboTax or IRS to force me to file paper returns.  This is important as the second separate return I need to file also includes a 5695 energy credit.
