Do not amend until the IRS is done processing your return and sent you the first refund.   You probably won’t have to amend.   The IRS should catch the missing payments and add them in for you and adjust your refund or tax due.   

To stop having double depreciation for your building now that you have closed the retail portion, you need to retire the asset from the retail side and then enter it on the rental side with its existing tax history. Here's are the steps to do this in TurboTax Business:   First, "dispose" of the asset by going to Federal Taxes, then Rental Real Estate   Scroll down to Dispose of Rental Real Estate Property and click Start When asked if you sold or disposed of this asset, select Yes Click Edit to the right of the building asset Select, disposed of by some other means, Continue Enter the date you closed the retail portion in the Date you disposed of box This will calculate the partial-year depreciation for the retail side so that it does not run for the full 12 months   Next, since you have already created the asset in the rental section, you need to ensure the basis and prior depreciation match the retail records exactly   Ensure the date placed in service is the date the building was available to rent, not the date you originally bought it Ensure you use the adjusted basis of the building at the time of conversion (your original cost, minus all depreciation already taken during the retail years) Note: the cost of the new rental building should be the lower of the adjusted basis, or the Fair Market Value (FMV) at the time of conversion If TurboTax asks you for prior depreciation on this new asset, enter zero (0). Note, if you enter the original purchase price as the cost, you must enter the total depreciation taken during the retail years in the prior depreciation box to prevent TurboTax from depreciating the full value again.   Next, in Forms Mode, click on Asset Entry Worksheet, or Open Form at the top left and type in Asset Entry Worksheet, then select the building under the retail section to verify the date sold/disposed of is correct   Then, open the Asset Entry Worksheet for the building in the rental section to verify that the accumulated depreciation correctly reflects what was taken, which should only be the remaining months after conversion Review Form 4562 to ensure you see two entries for the building, one for the retail and one for the rental to ensure that when you add the two depreciation amounts, they do not exceed what your standard year of depreciation amount is typically. If it looks about the same, you're set.

Thanks! Signed up for notifications on updates. Sad that this has still not been addressed with less than one month to file.  My daughter had been hoping to get her taxes filed by the first week in March. This is very disappointing. My financial advisor is pointing me at a service to use for next year. After 30 years of TurboTax, I very well might be saying goodbye.

You enter expenses for your self-employment work in the Self-employment section under Wages and Income in TurboTax. You may be able to deduct mileage from your home to a job site and back but only if you work out of your home and do not have another facility that you normally work out of. Once on the jobsite you can deduct mileage to other job sites or while on work related chores.

According to the latest TurboTax support updates, the software is expected to be fully updated for Idaho’s new conformity laws on:   Tentative Release Date: March 19, 2026.  If technical delays occur, it may slip to March 27, 2026. You should wait to file your state return until you see the "New Idaho Tax Law Changes" warning screen disappear. Once updated, the software will automatically apply the $31,500 standard deduction (for joint filers)  and the other benefits you mentioned.

Either go back and edit the 1099R or delete it and enter it again manually.    Enter a 1099R under Federal Taxes Wages & Income Then scroll way down to Retirement Plans and Social Security Then IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) – Click Start or Review or update or the us a pencil icon to edit.   After you fix the 1099R keep going through all the retirement questions to the end of that section.   If you edit or review a 1099R it does not keep your answers from before but resets them to the defaults. Then you have to go through and answer them all again.   So be sure to go all the way to the end of the 1099R section.  They are right unless you go back.    

@Susannamacthe resolution to the issue of not having browser permissions set to allow the import is for you to change those permissions, Turbotax is not changing the way it works.  If you're having a different issue please clarify what it is.
