That option won't let me upload a PDF that was done outside of TurboTax. I've been going in circles on this for the past week. There is no option that I can find to upload a PDF that was filed utilizing another avenue for filing taxes.

Desktop download for 2025 cannot run on Windows 10.   You can use a Windows 10 PC with online TurboTax or  on any device that has internet access.   To enter rental income you will need online Premium.

It depends. Usually a relative is renting for less than fair market value which means it is a second home to you and you claim the itemized deduction for property tax. If your son is paying fair market value, then  claim the house as a rental property. 

I hit the link for an email update when the form 1099R is available.  I immediately got an email stating that form 3903 was now available....so the LINK def doesn't work correctly!  I sent this info to my manager!

FEMA funds are not taxable and do not have to be reported independently on your tax return.   Grants for repairs are also not taxable and do not have to be reported on your tax return.   If you had expenses in 2024 in excess of the funds that you received then you can amend your 2024 tax return to enter those expenses.  They are only deductible if they have not been reimbursed.   Yes, expenses related to a federally declared disaster can be entered in the year that they are incurred.  However, again, they have to be in excess of any funds that you received reimbursing you for your expenses.

For a child to qualify to receive the $1,000 Pilot Program Contribution to their Trump account, the child must have been born in 2025–2028, must be a qualifying child of the individual opening the Trump account, must be a U.S. citizen, and must have a valid social security number   In the File section of the program in Step 2, you will land on a page that states It's time to claim (child's first name) $1,000 initial deposit Select on Yes, sign up to get $1,000 and Continue.

> It is scheduled to be on January 21.   It was pushed back from Jan 14.   May I ask where you got that information? I've not seen Intuit publish any information about this other than dates when forms will be approved for filing and e-filing, which isn't the issue here. Even if it were, Form 1099-R isn't listed, presumably because it isn't a form you file.

One change that will affect you is the Child Tax Credit has been increased to $2200 per child.   Other changes include: Higher Standard Deductions (less taxable income) Tax Breaks on Overtime and Tips Auto loan interest deduction   Also, beginning this year, you can establish Trump Accounts under the Working Families Tax Cuts initiative:   Overview of Trump Accounts Parents, guardians, or others can establish a Trump Account for an eligible child. Trump Accounts cannot be funded before July 4, 2026. The federal government will make a one-time $1,000 contribution for each eligible child’s account. Authorized contributions from individuals and employers are allowed up to $5,000 per year. Employers can contribute up to $2,500 per year toward an employee’s or dependent’s Trump Account without it counting as taxable income for the employee. Funds must be invested in certain mutual funds or exchange-traded funds that track a U.S. stock index such as the S&P 500. Withdrawal and use Generally, money cannot be withdrawn before the year the child turns 18. After that point, the account is treated like a traditional IRA with similar tax rules.
