To access the return, you may use the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared it. One of the most common reasons your return is missing is that it was filed under a different user ID.

Go to the Tax Home tab, start a new return by entering some basic personal info. This often "unlocks" the full menu. On the Tax Home screen, select your tax returns and documents.

Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A). Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less. Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2024 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter  0  for one of you).   Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return.    This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.

I believe you are trying to enter the asset and then report it as being sold. You do not need to enter the asset, you can simply report the sale of a business asset.   To do so, go to the Rental and Royalty income section and create a rental property or edit one you have already created. On the page that says Let's gather your business info, choose the option on the bottom that says Sale of Business Property (under Less Common Business Situations.) In that section you can enter the sales proceeds, cost and depletion (depreciation) associated with your oil and gas working interest. It will populate on Form 4797, Sale of Business Property.

You do not report the "purchase" of a home.   But you can enter the information from the 1098 issued to you by your mortgage lender for mortgage interest and property tax and possibly loan origination points paid in 2025.   Go to Federal>Deductions and  Credits>Your Home     There is not a first time home buyers credit on a Federal return. That ended in 2010. If your state has such as credit, you will be able to enter it when you prepare your state return.   Buying a home is not a guarantee of a big refund.  Your deductions for homeownership combined with your other deductions (if any) must exceed your standard deduction to change your tax due or refund. If you purchased your home late in the year, you do not even have a full year of home ownership deductions.   Your closing costs on your new home are not deductible except for prepaid interest, prepaid property tax or loan origination fees.  There are no deductions for appraisal, inspections, title searches, settlement fees. etc.   Your down payment is not deductible.   Your homeowners insurance for fire, hazard, flood, etc. is not deductible for your own home.   Home improvements, repairs, maintenance, etc. for your own home are not deductible.  (With possible exceptions for certain energy credits) (BUT——do make sure you keep careful written records/invoices, etc.  of any improvements you make to the home for someday when you sell it.)   Homeowners Association  (HOA) fees for your own home are not deductible.   Your itemized deductions have to be more than your standard deduction before you will see a change in your tax owed or tax refund.  The deductions you enter do not necessarily count “dollar for dollar;” many of them are subject to meeting  tough thresholds—medical expenses, for example, must meet a threshold that is pretty hard to reach.  The software program uses all the IRS rules that apply to the expenses you enter, and it tells you if you have enough to use your itemized deductions or if using the standard deduction is more advantageous for you.     2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS SINGLE $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind + $2000) MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind +1600) MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500  (65 or older/legally blind + $1600) HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)        

Yes, I agree the IRS wording is ambiguous at best, but its wording does suggest that you can only claim these on Form 8960 if you itemize your deductions. No, there is no provision for overidding this and even if there was, there is no clear basis for this decision and could result in an audit.
