I was approved for disability October 2025.  I also received a Lump sum payment that covers benefits for 2022 2023, & 2024.  When I enter my 1095-A form information into TurboTax my Payment that I owe the IRA goes up to $250000.  Our income for 2025 is $85000, between my husbands and my SS benefits, and that includes a check of a lumpsum of $40000.  Can you let me know what I'm not filing out correctly.
The IRS say form 1096 must be printed using red ink. I don't have a color printer. With the IRS accept the 1096 form I printed using Turbo Taxes home and business software.

2026.  You are still in business, don't close your business on your 2025 tax return.   Money is counted as income when you receive it in a form that you can use, even if you don't use it.  For example, if you receive a check in the mail on December 31, 2025, it is 2025 income even if you don't deposit it until 2026.  (But, it would not be 2025 income if it was post-dated, or if the payer told you not to deposit it right away because their account was overdrawn, because the money wouldn't really be yours at that moment.)   On the other hand, if they mail a check in 2025 but you do not receive it until 2026, it is 2026 income for you even though it might be a 2025 expense for them.   If you receive 1099s from these payers and they include the payments as 2025 payments even though you don't receive them until 2026, you could report them as 2025 income to avoid a mis-match in the records (although that is technically incorrect, and the IRS is used to people reporting different amounts due to timing issues like this).  Any checks mailed in 2026 that will be reported on a 2026 1099 are definitely 2026 income and you can't report it early for the sake of convenience.

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      First, check your e-file status to see if your 2024 return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.     You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr   If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refunds-take-longer-others/L14YlqFrH_US_en_US?uid=lexdr7zh . https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/irs-refund-taking-longer-21-days/L2vRAJbdU_US_en_US?uid=lexe7lst

why don't all my noncash donations show on the charity donations page on turbotax?
I have over $1000 in non-cash charity donations for 2025.  Why don't they all show on the charity donations page?  
I get the same screen and I am wondering why TurboTax is trying to get me to switch to the online version.

What kind of 1099, and what kind or survivor benefits? Did you get two SSA-1099 forms, one for disability and one for survivor benefits? If so, and if both SSA-1099 forms have your Social Security number in box 2, add then together and enter them as if it was all on one SSA-1099.   If that's not what you have, post more details.

It is not quite apparent about what happens with all of the prior depreciable assets added post purchase, like furnace, roof, do we have to input the sale of each depreciable asset at zero for those assets???  Only the main house and land are "sold" at the transaction price?  Thank you
