In the Income section, under Self-Employment, EDIT your Business. Make sure you indicated that your business has an Inventory in 'Tell us More About Your Business'. You're then asked 'How do you Account for your Inventory?'
You're then asked for the value of your inventory at the beginning of 2025, and at the end of 2025, and on the next screen enter the amount of 2025 purchases, and value of unsalable inventory as 'Withdrawn for Personal Use'.
When you remove items for personal use or because they are unsalable, you must remove their original cost from your purchases or inventory value.
Items withdrawn for personal use are not deductible, nor is the "lost revenue" from not selling them.

When you went through the NY return and it asks for your email, you need to enter your correct email address. It would be easy to hit continue right past the screen.

Yes, I got a letter from the state, making a correction to my tax form. But even they did not properly correct it. TurboTax submitted the wrong tax form. So now you are telling me that I have to file an amended tax form to correct the mistake you made? I paid you to do my taxes, and now I have to do it myself? You are going to loose a lot of customers when I post my horrible experience all over social media.

In my opinion, nobody should buy the crappy Online version. It is a stripped-down version with less capabilities and often costs more than the desktop/downloaded version.

You filed an individual tax return not a business return. The "individual" does not indicate the filing status, simply the entity. Nothing to correct. You are in good shape.

Why or where do you need last year’s taxable Social Security amount? Sorry for your loss. My husband died in 2023. When did your husband pass? Did you start a new account and new return for yourself? You can file a Joint return as normal the year they passed. For the next two years following a husband's or wife's death, the surviving spouse can file as a qualifying widow or widower if they have a qualifying child. That basically lets you continue to use the same tax brackets that apply to married-filing-jointly returns. After the year of death if you don't have a child you file as Single. To file Single you need start over with a new return and new account. And don't transfer from the Joint return.

Yes, CA does also offer tax credits for income earned in another state that is also taxed. This is not your situation.

Apparently the work around is by using the step by step view. Once I completed the questions via step by step the credits were calculated.

TurboTax does not use the depreciation "tables" for depreciation (unless you go into the "Forms" and specifically tell it to use the "tables"). It uses a mathematical method that results in extra-high depreciation when the business percentage goes up, and and extra-low depreciation when the business percentage goes down. There is no way to see the actual calculation. If TurboTax (and several other major software brands) is doing the correct order of calculations, that is correct when using that method. If you don't want to use that method and you are using the desktop/downloaded version of TurboTax, you can go into the "Forms", find the "Asset Entry Wks" and scroll WAY down to the bottom and check the box to use the IRS "tables".

You should select the format of the date that appears on your state ID - most are MM/DD/YYYY. Also be sure that you are entering the issue date and the expiration date in the correct fields as reversing those will cause an error.

I bought Intuit TurboTax Deluxe Federal State License 2024 for the first time last year, and made a mistake by filing my taxes using TurboTax online, so I didn't use the license code. This year, I bought two Intuit TurboTax Deluxe Federal State License 2025 since my son needed to file his taxes too, and only one of the two license codes was used. Can I still use the unused license codes for 2026? Thank you

I have a farm, operated as an LLC, and report its income/expenses on Schedule F. For many years I have used Turbotax Home & Business edition. The farm showed a loss for several years resulting in the accumulation of a significant Qualified Business Loss which Turbotax is reporting on Form 8995. In 2025 the farm finally generated a significant profit. I expected the losses carried forward from previous years would be available to reduce the 2025 profit, but the full amount of income calculated on Schedule F is reported on the 1040 as income for 2025. Adding to the pain, the total Qualified Business Loss carryforward (Form 8995 Line 16) has been reduced by the amount of qualified business income shown on Form 8995 Line 2 (as a result of the Line 16 instruction to combine lines 2, a positive number, and 3, a negative number). To further magnify the pain, it appears that if there had been no loss carried forward I would have been able to take a qualified business income deduction equal to 20% of the 2025 total farm income. So prior losses mean that I now pay more tax. Can this be correct? Or is something being missed somewhere? The Schedule F in the Turbotax view form mode shows pages called Carryovers to 2025 Smart Worksheet including columns labeled QBI with lines for losses, but all of those lines are blank. The IRS information (https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/qualified-business-income-deduction ) indicates that I qualify for the deduction equal to 20% of the farm profit, but it is not being reflected in Turbotax.
