@VeryLongSigh... wrote: "The Future of TurboTax is Online" promotion is that they intend to fully eliminate, or reduce support for, the desktop product.   Understood, BUT that's almost certainly the intention of the other developers of desktop products. It may take more than just a few years but, ultimately, it will all be online.   BTW, TaxAct and H&R Block are the only other developers of DIY, consumer-level, tax prep software other than Intuit.

very good point. hadn't considered that. I think I'm looking at a standard reroof (every 10-20 years dependent on tile make up). They definitely replace the underlayment along with singles (because composite in my case) - the standard reroof process  (to my understanding) when existing covering has deteriorated to the point where underlayment will be exposed....and then soon deteriorate and leak.  No rafter, truss,  or plywood work.   I'll ask my roofer more about the process.   Thanks!

Thanks, do you have thoughts on the math though.  I have one response that says it is a valid approach, and several AI responses as well which say the same thing. It really is about how one considers the accounting; it is a layering approach that puts fees first in the application of scholarship money.  But the scenario again is as follows:   College costs for dependent student: ---------------------- Tuition: $10,000; Qualified Education costs (would be in Box 1 of 1098-T)  Mandatory Fees: $5,000; Qualified Education costs (would be in Box 1 of 1098-T)  Housing and Food: $15,000; Unqualified education costs (would not be in Box 1 of 1098-T) -------------------- Total: $30,000 -------------------- Unrestricted Scholarship (can be used for any of above): $5,000 Accounting wise, the school lumps expenses and payments, including the scholarship in one general account, but will report the scholarship in Box 5 of the 1098-T   I have checked online, and it says as long as a person makes the payment directly to the school, the tuition is never considered a gift, it also says that a parent has leeway in terms of how the unrestricted scholarship is allocated when performing tax calculations regardless of how the school actually did it.   So, to avoid any need to fill out a 709 I assume that the scholarship is applied to Fees first, then Tuition, such that: Tuition: $10,000 - not a gift, not reportable as gift Fees: $5,000 - $5,000 scholarship = $0 - therefore no money to report  Housing and Food: $15,000 - while this is considered as support when used on a dependent and not a gift, if it was considered a gift, it is below the $19,000 gift threshold so no 709 needs to be filed   Is this good math?  I did research and asked several AI's and I am told this is completely legitimate way to approach the problem.  I also had several AI's say that since the housing and food is considered support when the college student is my dependent, the IRS wouldn't expect it to be reported as a gift even if it was over $19,000
