If you are sure that you have satisfied all RMD requirements, then in TurboTax, on the form 1099-R for RMD withdrawals, answer that The entire distribution was an RMD then on the following page, to the question What is the RMD for your account? enter the amount of the distribution from that IRA account.   By doing this, you are telling TurboTax that all RMDs are satisfied and TurboTax will not calculate any penalty. The information you entered in TurboTax is to enable TurboTax to calculate any penalty where applicable, and is not reported to the IRS.

I would advise delete Form 5695 and step through the interview again.  Don't say 'Yes' to windows/doors if you don't have expenses to enter for them.  If you're being asked for the address in the 'Review' it may not be saving properly.     In Part II, check the box to use 'address from Federal Info Worksheet'.  If you address contains special characters, change them to text (such as 'Unit' for '#').   @ah1838     

rjs is correct.  You cannot resolve this situation in TurboTax.  Did your employer actually withhold the tax that is reported on your wife's W-2?  If so, you will have to get the employer to correct that.  If there wasn't any local tax withheld from your wife's pay you could try not reporting the local tax information when you input your W-2 and see what happens, but I don't recommend that. I do recommend you get the employer to correct the W-2 and reimburse any tax withheld, if any.

Thanks, yes I’m in California, I need to change from Itemized to standard again, I ended up switching to itemized and it then increased my overall taxes and now I owe haha. But I need to put it back to standard, when I tried amending it. It won’t allow me to switch to standard anymore, but I did not send the amend, I canceled it, I’ll just stick with the return I am getting initially. 

If you cannot proceed in TurboTax because your spouse and children are not a US citizen and they don't have a SSN, you will have to file by mail. You will not be able to e-file.     You can apply for an ITIN using Form W-7 for your spouse and children.    Try  entering "NRA" (Non-Resident Alien) or "Applied For" in the SSN field, then mail the return with the Form W-7.    Click here for Form W-7.   Click here for Instructions for Form W-7.   Click here for Claiming a Non-Citizen Spouse and Children on Your Taxes If you have additional information or questions regarding this, please return to Community and we would be glad to help.

If you reported the current year improvements as rental assets, you will need to return to those entries and also report that you stopped using them due to a sale. You can either allocate a portion of the sales proceeds to each asset, or report zero proceeds.   A better option is to delete those assets. You won't receive any depreciation expense for assets added and sold the same year, so there's no advantage to adding them as assets. Instead, add their cost to your selling expenses for the sale. The net result should be the same.

Nice, thanks @kayak1 that is indeed the issue with the generated form 5695.  Reject code makes more sense now.  Unfortunately like @Bnadeau pointed out don't think those of us using the online version can fix this manually unless you might know how?

I'm having the same issue as @TheSchulteMeistr and @Dkingshere. I've entered the $400 for the AZ Public School Tax Credit as a positive adjustment to my total tax payments on Line 18d of the Federal Tax Payments Worksheet as instructed above by @LenaH. However, that $400 then gets pulled into Line 53 on my Arizona Form 140 and there is no way to back it out on the Arizona Tax Payments Worksheet. As both @TheSchulteMeistr and @Dkingshere have noted, this results in my Arizona tax refund being overstated by $400, because Turbotax is giving me both the $400 credit on AZ Form 140, Line 51 (pulled from AZ Form 301, Line 7, which is pulled from AZ Form 322) and an additional $400 as AZ income tax withheld on AZ Form 140, Line 53. Is there a way to correct this, or does it require update to TurboTax?

After you enter the W-2 continue through the questions. After a few screens you will come to the screen that says "Let's check for other situations" (not uncommon situations). However, Form 4852 is only for correcting certain federal information on the W-2. It cannot be used to correct the state or local information. The local tax might be correct. Depending on the state and locality, your wife might have to pay tax to the locality that she worked in, even though she doesn't live there. So your first step should be to ask the employer to explain why the local tax was withheld. If it turns out that the local tax is not correct, the best solution would be for the employer to issue a corrected W-2.  

To enter your W-2 Select the following after entering your personal information.   Federal Income Wages and Salaries- W-2 If you are not comfortable filing your taxes you can select the live help option at the top of your screen or if you just have more questions you can come back here and ask them.
