@tfreese856  Underneath your question there is a tag that says "Online TurboTax."  If you are using Online TurboTax, there is no fee to efile state returns.   The product fees are for preparation of the state return, whether efiled or printed and mailed.   Or are you using the desktop version and indicated the wrong product above?  The desktop version has a $25 state efile fee, but no fee for New York state, and no fee to print and mail the state return.   You may able to correct the rejection error and resubmit the efile.   Someone in the forum may be able to tell you how to fix it.  What was the reason for the rejection?  Do you have the error code?

@RobertB4444   Thanks for responding.  I assume you were using the Windows Desktop version?  Maybe you need to actually enter a fake 1099 IRA distribution to make the steps work that I outlined rather than saying 'No' to the 1099 question.  I already had a 1099 input when I went back through and answered 'No' to simulate the triggering of the blank forms, so maybe that's the difference.  It seems really odd for blank IRA Info and Earned Inc sheets to populate in reaction to an IRA distribution and so I'd really like to determine whether or not this is a broad behavior of TT this year.

The QBI loss and the non-QBI loss (the loss you see on Schedule F) are separate. The Schedule F loss was likely allowed as a deduction in prior years, so you don't have it to offset current year Schedule F income. (If it was not allowed as a deduction on the 1040, it became a part of the NOL computation which TurboTax doesn't do so you may have an issue) However, net QBI losses carryforward indefiniely to offset QBI Inome. . In other words, it's possible not to have an ordinary loss carryforward but at the same time to have a QBI loss carryforward 

True. TurboTax should have used 110% instead of 90%. It appears that there is a glitch in TurboTax software for California state, which needs correction. It did calculate 2026 Federal estimated tax payments correctly using 110%. 

In Online TurboTax there's not a Forms Mode like the desktop version.    You can have preview privileges of the Federal Form 1040 and schedules 1-3 for free while working on your return as described below, or you can pay in advance for full viewing/printing privileges at will of all forms in your return.    Here are the 2 options:   You can preview your Form 1040 at any time for free.  Here's how:   Open your return, and in the left menu column, choose TAX TOOLS, then choose TOOLS. In the Tools window, choose "View Tax Summary." When the Tax Summary opens, look in the left menu column and choose Preview My 1040. That will show you the Form 1040 and schedules 1-3. Or if you wish to do so, you can pay your fees in advance to view/print the Form 1040 and all forms in your return at will.  Here's how:   Open your return, and in the left menu column, choose Tax Tools, then Print Center. Then choose "Print/save/preview this year's return." On the next screen choose to "Pay now". Note:  It may try to upsell you on add-ons like MAX, which you can choose or decline. The next screen should be an Order Summary.  Review that, and if all is OK, click Continue. It should then prompt you for payment by credit or debit card.  The screen only says "credit card", but it will take a debit card.  If it should offer you the option to "pay later" out of the Federal refund, that can't be used for this purpose.  You will need to pay now by credit/debit card in order to download/print prior to filing. Then you should have an option of which PDF to download/print/view.  "Just my tax returns", or "include government worksheets (optional)", or "include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional.)"    NOTE:  Remember all PDF tax documents and tax data files are very sensitive files, since they contain your personal ID info, financial data, and possibly bank account numbers, etc.  Be sure to store them safely and securely to guard against computer theft, hacking, etc.

Im sorry, but I dont understand/see what you're talking about.  Am I going to enter this in the Wages and Salaries? If so, I dont see a box to check taxes undetermined.  If im supposed to enter it under Retirement Plans and Social Security, then the questions are a bit different than what you have listed.  There's not a box to check for undetermined  and the question is, Were you under your minimum retirement age when you received the distribution?  Thanks   Thanks

I've had this problem for years. Last time it took the tax expert hours to sort through it. Big flaw in the TurboTax form and no real direction since it was stated at the beginning of the process that no part was attributed to Oklahoma.   To fix it do the following: for each stock trade go to Edit. Check the box that says it is not subject to exclusion (this is terribly unclear becuase it is being excluded). You can continue and type in $0 for the oklahoma portion, but not sure if this is necessary. Just hit the Back arrow and the selection will be saved. No need to try to continue on to enter aquired dates and other nonsense.    This worked for me.
