Yes, you would exclude the preschool expense that was paid for by your in-laws from your total qualifying expenses.   If your in-laws paid for your child's preschool, you generally cannot claim those expenses for the Child and Dependent Care Credit, as you did not pay these expenses yourself. You would enter your expenses but exclude the amount paid by your in-laws. Only count the qualifying expenses you (and your spouse, if you are filing jointly) actually paid in order to continue working.   Preschool tuition is considered a qualified expense, but only if it was paid for by you.   See also: Does preschool tuition count for the Child and Dependent Care credit?   The Ins and Outs of the Child and Dependent Care Credit   Please return To Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.

Thanks a lot for the detailed response.   Just to clarify one point: in my case, I was not assigned to a New York office and my role was fully remote with no required work location.   Given that, would the convenience-of-the-employer rule still apply to treat post-move wages as NY-source income, or would physical work location after the residency change be the determining factor?   Also, given the potential for Illinois not to fully credit NY tax imposed under the convenience rule, would allocating wages based on residency periods be a reasonable approach in this situation?

To answer your questions one at a time.   Various is the best option here. Yes, the foreign income is reported correctly.  Passive income is the correct answer. The interest expense is recorded correctly, reducing your foreign income. Window 4 should be blank.  There was nothing in the statement to report. Window 5 is correct. Windows 6 & 7 are blank since there was nothing in the statements to report. Based on the information you gave me through the screenshots and your entries, you reported everything correctly.  K-1's can be complex issues at times but it appears you have a solid understanding of these.  

Unfortunately, "Job Related Work Expenses" are not deductible on your federal income tax return.  However, some states allow you to deduct on the state return.  This includes Alabama, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Minnesota, New York, and Pennsylvania.

Yes, you would need to report that on his estate tax return. You can use the TurboTax Business tax product to do that. You need to prepare a Form 1041 Estate tax return. Once you set it up, go to the Income section and find the Home Sale option under Investment Income to report the sale of the house.   Here is a link to the TurboTax Business product.  

TurboTax will transfer your information from your federal return to your state return, and will start any state returns that you need.  If the state that you need to file is not listed select the "Add a State" option in the State section to initiate the state filing process.

The plan messed up the reporting unless the plan voided 1099-R #1 or they voided 1099-Rs #2 and #3.   You'll need to check with the plan to find out what was actually reported to the IRS by them.  If they actually reported all 3 to the IRS, they offset your plan loan twice.   Check your balances and plan statements for the traditional and designated Roth accounts in the plan to see which account(s) the offset funds actually came from.  If the balance in the designated Roth account shows that no funds came from that account to satisfy the loan, 1099-Rs #2 and #3 are wrong.  If $7,195.82 did come out of the designated Roth account, it's likely that 1099-R #1 is wrong.  (Make sure that the amount that came out of the traditional account wasn't $18,125.48 plus $10,929.66.)
