Agree... just worried  if I put nothing in 8949, if coinbase one day report to the IRS SS# and gains, i will be flagged as someone who did not pay the tax, even though the partnership did, of course, maybe best way is just to handle it then, all records are crystal clear... also you are right the IRS needs to know who the gains belong to. ? Maybe can just put that in transaction description box? "gains reported by EIN XX-XXXX ?

It might not be an issue at all, BUT if you do report the full amount received as nominee, the IRS is going to want to know the responsible party(ies) (i.e., who should have received all, or part of, the income reported).

AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY TAX CREDIT https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-credits-deductions/eligible-take-american-opportunity-tax-credit/L8ZQFKvLe_US_en_US?uid=m6efibfz   AOC will be shown on line 29 of your Form 1040          https://www.irs.gov/help/ita/am-i-eligible-to-claim-an-education-credit

Oh---wait-----you are about to make a mistake.   At age 20, she is a qualified child dependent.   There is not a "choice" about saying she cannot be claimed on her own return.   The rules is that if she CAN  be claimed, she must say on her own return that someone else can claim her.    If she already filed that way, then leave her return alone.    If she has not yet filed, then in MY INFO she must say that someone else can claim her as a dependent.   The education credit goes on YOUR return---not on the dependent student's return.   If you filed without using the education credit, then that is what you should be changing if you amend--not changing to remove your daughter as a dependent.   Dependents cannot claim education credits.     WHO CAN I CLAIM AS A DEPENDENT?   You can claim a child, relative, friend, or fiancé (etc.) as a dependent on your 2024 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements: Qualifying child They're related to you. They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students). No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children. They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply). They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year. Qualifying relative They don't have to be related to you (despite the name). They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else. They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident. They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse. They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply). They made less than $5050 in 2024 (not counting Social Security) You provided more than half of their financial support. When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them. There may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.

need to amend 2024 tax. been using TT for years but going in circles trying to login. Keeps bringing up quicken which  i don't use anymore. Ralph Bredahl 1369 [phone number removed] [email address removed] When it sends out the 6 digits it  sends to [phone number removed]  correct is ******73  last 4  is 5369

Sorry, she qualifies as your dependent.  You can leave her on your return and only need to fix (not amend) her rerturn.   On her return she needs to check the box under My Info that she can be claimed as a dependent.  Then she can efile.    Oh, she fixed that and efiled ok?  Then you don't have to do anything on your return or her return.     I don't know about the AOTC.   @xmasbaby0 

She is a full tme college student age 20. My return was accepted. Her's rejected code F1040-516-01 "PrimaryClaimAsDependent is not checked, then 'PrimarySSN' must not be the same as a Dependent SSN on another return filed for the same tax year".  Return was then resubmitted acknowledging her as a dependent on my return and accepted. She was as a result not able to claim the AOTC tax credit. I should not have listed her as my dependent , thus I believe I would have to  correct my return to avoid the same reject again. Why wouldn't I have a choice as you stated? Thank you

Hello, this is in regard to the 2023 tax year. I am a US citizen who worked part of the year (approx 6 months) in Spain as part of the Spanish government's NALCAP program. I reported the living expense stipend amount (equal to approx $3300 total over the period of time I worked there) on our Schedule 1 form as "other income." We are married filing jointly, and my husband has a substantial income from his employment with a hospital. We've now received a letter from the IRS saying that the amount on line 8z (the $3300), appears to be subject to self-employment tax. Does this sound right? Was I "self-employed" during this period of cultural exchange/language assistance in Spain? If so, how should I calculate that? Many thanks!

likely didn't answer the 1099-R input follow-up interview questions correctly to make sure it's classified as a IRA conversion, suggest going back over those interview questions.  Here are the instructions to follow on how to input a backdoor Roth   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/retirement-benefits/enter-backdoor-roth-ira-conversion/L7gGPjKVY_US_en_US?uid=me7bdm9t

these are from the instruction so sometimes the form must be filed even if the AMT tax is zero. see if any apply.  I wouldn't worry even if not required. Who Must File Attach Form 6251 to your return if any of the following statements are true. 1. Form 6251, line 7, is greater than line 10. 2. You claim any general business credit, and either line 6 (in Part I) of Form 3800 or line 25 of Form 3800 is more than zero. 3. You claim the qualified electric vehicle credit (Form 8834), the personal-use part of the alternative fuel vehicle refueling property credit (Form 8911), or the credit for prior year minimum tax (Form 8801). 4. The total of Form 6251, lines 2c through 3, is negative and line 7 would be greater than line 10 if you didn’t take into account lines 2c through 3
