I remember having to calculate past years contributions vs. distributions and inputting the difference into TurboTax Desktop version. I do not see anywhere in the State return section where to input contributions nor distributions (granted this was entered for Federal return section).

But that doesn't actually remove the expert assist. Only downgrades to Basic with Expert Assist.

I have 2 questions: My 2025 1099-B, section UNDETERMINED TERM TRANSACTIONS FOR NONCOVERED TAX LOTS has 3 entries: 1) Stock: ADT BLDG AM OP 23-1 FECA / CUSIP: 00781Y167 Date Sold: 2/11/25 Quantity: 0 1d-Proceeds: $338.43 Date Acquired: N/A Cost or Other Basis: $0 2) Stock: ADT BLDG AM OP 25-1 RE / CUSIP: 00783G156 Date Sold: 8/4/25 Quantity: 0 1d-Proceeds: $131.40 Date Acquired: N/A Cost or Other Basis: $0 3) Stock: FT CONT LDR OP 30 FECA / CUSIP: 30339J461 Date Sold: 1/7/26 Quantity: 804 1d-Proceeds: $9.65 Date Acquired: N/A Cost or Other Basis: $0 My Form 8949, section Undetermined Undetermined B or E (basis not reported to the IRS) Proceeds: $479 Cost basis: $0 Question #1: Turbo Tax gave me 3 errors, requesting that I must provide Date Acquired for all 3 items. I requested the Acquired Date from my broker and they replied: “These are principal payments from UIT allocation events. These are payments made to the account that are 1099-B reportable but are not directly tied to the cost basis to the position. They are paid out based off the quantity held for the position at the time of payment and we do not supply either and open date or a cost basis allocation on these payments.” What is your advice? How do I report these? Question #2: Turbo Tax gave me error: The Date Sold of item 3) is 1/7/26 which falls out of tax year 2026. My broker’s answer: “the 01/07/2026 payment date is the day the fund paid out the principal allocation, but they indicated it is tax reportable for Tax Year 2025.” Please advise how to report this. Thank you so much!

It turns out that after I e-filed, I moved the returns into new folders so they would each have a folder with all of the supporting documents. Once I moved the turbo tax return files out of those folders, I imagine the program could locate them and they appeared when I opened Turbo Tax, all three returns were there! The solution is to specify the location of the file when asked if you want to save it.

With regard to the Schedule K-1 reporting on Form 1041, you may need to make additional entries and/or adjustments to the trust for these items.
Box 13 Code V Section 743(b) adjustments retain the character of the income or expense from the partnership. In other words, you will need to manually enter this amount on Form 1041 according to the source of the adjustment. For example, if the partnership reports a section 743(b) adjustment to depreciation for property used in its trade or business, report the adjustment on the federal K-1 Worksheet Line 7(a) Rental Real Estate Depreciation. Use the plus symbol to the left of the yellow box to open a table where you can enter each K-1 separately and calculate a sum for the line. Be sure to check the box to generate an activity statement.
Box 20 Code N Business Interest Expense (BIE) is reported on Schedule K-1 for information only and was already included as a deduction on another line of Schedule K-1. This information is necessary if the partner's losses are limited under section 704(d) (deductions in excess of basis).
The other factor you need to address are the distributions reported on Line 19(A) on two K-1's. It's possible the distributions were in excess of basis, which may be creating the error you see on Form 105. Also, you have Second Tier Distribution Allocations on the Beneficiary's Smart Worksheet (Schedule K-1). First and Second Tier allocations are equal to the distribution amounts. If you remove the second tier allocation amount, the error is resolved. Basically, you're either retaining the incoming distributions in the trust or you have made other adjustments to the Beneficiary's basis to account for the excess distributions.
If this becomes too complicated, you may need to use the Business Assist for specific assistance. Ask for escalation if the agent you connect with is unable to help.

I also did not receive a separate W-2 form for the amount. So I don't know if I claim it all or just a portion.

Thanks, I couldn't get the worksheets to work. I put in what we've had withheld to date, our itemized deductions to date, but it wouldn't let me put in the expected AGI so we could calculate the estimated taxes and/or adjust our withholding. So I'll go back to pen and paper, and just go by one of the safe harbor limits even though we don't know exactly how much or when we're going to do Roth conversion(s) this year. So you think it's safe to say that if we receive half of our expected income (including Roth conversions) in the first quarter, we can avoid interest and penalities by paying half the tax (calculated according to the published tax brackets, and assuming in our case we're going to max out the SALT deduction again) in the first quarter? So make our first estimated payment that half of the tax bill minus what was withheld?

Turbotax says I have an excess Roth IRA contribution, but it is not taking into account my pre-tax contributions to my Simple IRA. My W2 shows Code S and an amount in Box 12. My understanding is that the Roth limit is based on the gross earned income not the net after Simple contributions. Is this correct? If so, how do I get TurboTax to include the pre-tax Simple IRA contributions in the maximum allowable Roth IRA contribution calculation?

So, I figured it out. I had uploaded a 1099-INT pdf file to TurboTax. The document was read and all the information displayed was correct. However, the interest amount shown was never actually added to my interest income or total income. I even followed through and finished my Federal return to the end once to view the PDF and sure enough, the amount wasn't carried through to there either. So I went back to the interest income screen and uploaded the document again. I then clicked on the amount, deleted it, manually typed in the correct amount, and clicked to save it. This time it stuck, and was added to my income.

I don't know how to answer a TurboTax question about past years for an annuity. It is asking if the "total amount shown in the form" is the amount I paid taxes on. I don't know which "total" on the 1099-R the TurboTax question is asking about - the gross distribution or the taxable amount.

To add a credit card to your Intuit account:
Go to the Intuit Account portal and Sign In
Select Manage your Intuit Account.
Select Payment Methods.
Choose Add Payment Method to enter card details.
You should be able to pay with any valid credit card, even it is not set up in your Intuit account. When you enter payment details in the FILE section, you're routed to a Billing server. You could try disabling your anti-virus programs for a better connection, or if you're using TurboTax Online, try closing the program, clear your Cache and Cookies, and retry your payment.
If this doesn't resolve the problem, Contact TurboTax Support and use 'Billing' as your issue, and advise them you have a 'block payment' error.

We are within the 45 day notice period. On form 8824, line 5, TT wants the date when the like kind property received was identified. The property closed on 11/21/2025. The identification by the Exchanger was on 12/1/2025. The exchanger used the identified date as 12/1/25 as not all the funds received were used in the purchase of the replacement property. A second property was not acquired for the balance of the funds so the Identification date was 12/1/25. When I enter the following in TT: Line 5 (date like kind property received was identified): 12/1/25 Line 6 (date line kind property received): 11/21/2025 TT flags line 5 as bad date. How do I get around that?
