Hello, If a rental property is sold at a loss in 2025, the loss appears on Sched E line22 which refers to form 8582. But no form 8582 is in the return. Is form 8582 not required to support the value on Sched E line 22? If so, why is it not in the return? Thanks for your help. mark

Your company must withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes. You must pay income tax based on a tax table and information you give to your employer. The Standard Deduction is $15,750. If you earned $20,348, you had a taxable income of $4,598. $72 would be enough to cover Federal taxes on that amount. If you worked more than one job, or your spouse works, you will receive W-2s from multiple employers. If you have multiple sources of income, you must combine all of the income to determine your tax. The first $15,750 (the Standard Deduction if filing Single) isn't taxable. That is the way the payroll system works. They estimate your income for the year and calculate the tax with that deduction included. However, if you had a second job, and failed to tell your employer the amount you earned, or expected to earn in the first job, the payroll system would give you the same deduction a second time. This would most likely result in you owing additional tax on your tax return. This situation is true for all other forms of income you may earn. To avoid this circumstance, you should provide your employer with a Form W-4. For more information, see, Your withholding may not be enough to cover other income

The information on 1099-S flows to Schedule D like any other asset subject to capital gains unless the property is a rental or used in a business. TurboTax handles this correctly.

What this error message means is that if there is an amount present on Schedule B, Line 17a, then CA Form 3885L is required to be added; to add this form:
1. Select Forms view (upper right)
2. Above the Forms In My Return menu, select Open Form
3. Type 3885L into the search, highlight it on the list, and select the blue Open Form button to add it in.
3. Or select [+] next to California Limited Liability Return of Income, and scroll down to find 3885L, highlight and select Open Form
Note: you will not find it if you're looking at the forms in the California Partnership Return of Income list.
4. Complete required entries on the form using Step-by-Step view, switch back to Forms to verify the output, select Errors to run the check, and then continue to e-file.
You can check the State forms availability table for TurboTax Business to see which forms are supported and currently available for CA LLC's or general partnerships on each list. The 2025 Form 3885L is ready to go for print or e-file, per the lookup table.

I appreciate your reply, however, it does not address the issue. The car was not sold and will remain in use by the charity. It's FMV exceeds the $5000, yet Turbotax puts the entry in Section A of the 8283, not Section B. I spent a couple hours with a Turbotax support person and she agreed the software has an issue. The solution offered was to go into forms mode and override every field of the Section A entry with blanks and rekey the data in section B. This section is where the Appraiser and the Donnee need to sign. Consequently, the return cannot be efiled to include the signatures and must be mailed in. So, Turbotax, by putting my donation in section A would have allowed me to eFile (I think...I never dared to go that far into the questionnaire.) It most probably would have been rejected. In any case, with the work-around, I could at least use Turbotax to print the forms. The alternative was to down load the form from the IRS, which allows entering the information, getting it signed and mailing the whole return. In all cases, when requiring attachments, since the IRS won't accept eFiled attachments, even if Turbotax facilitated them, you have to mail in your return.

I am actually seeing 75% LESS of what I expect. my estimated takes is being calculated correctly, and then it subtracts the expected withholding for 2026 on the Estimated tax payment options worksheet.. However, it is taking out an amount that does not equal the amount that I inputted for expected withholding. So that is where the error is taking place. I can see the calc and the deduction that is causing the error. It does say next to the deduction "Expected withholding for 2026 (2025 actual withholding)" and then an amount I don't recognize that is 100 times more than what I input.

Thanks, SteamTrain. I had tried deleting out the data before I received your reply, then entering it back in, saving the results, and then observing the result for CO. No Change. I did fix it by deleting out the 1099-DIV entry that was downloaded from Fidelity, then re-entering it manually, and the out-of-state exempt interest dividends then showed in the CO return. Not sure what I did to create this problem with TT, but it was something! Thanks, sincerely, for taking the time to help me!

You are getting a $72 refund? That's good. You don't want to owe more or let the IRS hold your money all year without paying you interest. You should always try to end up even on your tax return. Not owing or getting too big of a refund. But if you want a bigger refund you can have your employer take out MORE withholding by giving him a new W-4.

I am an F-1 student and I accidentally filed my tax return as a resident using TurboTax. Later, I realized that I should have filed as a nonresident. I was able to amend my state tax return in TurboTax, but I am unsure what to do about my federal return. I am considering using Sprintax, but I do not see an option to file an amended return for 2025 there. Also, I am not sure which sections I would need to correct manually on Form 1040-NR. Could someone please guide me on:

If you are only a landlord and not in the business of renting properties, then you do not need to give any contractor or company that provided a service to rental property a Form 1099-NEC.

I think it is REDICULOUS that Turbo Tax removed the It's Deductible Application from within the Software. It made record keeping much more efficient. I am not sure if TT has new management but every change they have done and continue to do is at the detriment to all the decades long loyal users. Sure you have the tool that provides High and Low estimates for one article at a time but come on TT Management Organization give me a break ... this is the only Software Application I know that seems to make things inherently harder every year instead of easier. Is Turbo Tax secretly run by a new department set up in the last 4 years by the Government Department of INEFFICIENCY ? This may be my last year using this Software --- it's very disheartening what they have done every year for the past few years or so to make this software harder to use and try to force people to use the ONLINE version.

Just ran in to same bug on 2025. Tried a couple suggestions including deleting , re-entering div statement (but NJ was first and XX second). Switched to put 'XX' first and that did not work. But editing the form and changing the state earned from NJ to XX did work. Was a little surprised that the taxable part went to dividends instead in of taxable interest but at least I am now reporting the correct income.
