TurboTax never knows how, when or even if you paid your tax due to the IRS; TT cannot check on that.  Your only proof that you paid the IRS is your own bank or credit card record.   You can check your own online account with the IRS: https://www.irs.gov/payments/your-online-account  

Thank you very much for your kind help! Could I ask two follow-up questions?:   "file  1040-NR return recognizing the  US sourced income" --> In my case, could I file the 1040-NR through Turbotax?   "claiming Foreign Tax credit ( for  taxes placed on this income by your tax-home country" -->  Could you explain how I can claim this in the 1040-NR? Or is there a separate form to be submitted for this Foreign Tax? Is there any documentation I should obtain from the National tax agency in my home country Japan?   Thank you again!

At this point, you can't amend those tax years.    Rather, you need to file a 3115, which gets filed with your current year return with a second copy sent to the IRS. Regardless, preparing a 3115 is really not a DIY endeavor so you should consult with a local tax pro.

Are you trying to prepare a 1041 for your father's trust? If so, you have all of the information you need with the possible exception of the basis, which would either be a big fat zero OR the FMV on the date your father passed.   You presented a curious set of facts, regardless, because the land having been in the family for such a long period of time, I'm wondering what happened with the trust your grandfather created. The land should still have been titled in the name of that trust unless it was somehow distributed to the beneficiary(ies).    As a pure sidebar, trust property is technically not "inherited" but passes by operation of law according to the terms of the trust itself.

I assume you are in Ohio, since you mention both city and school district income taxes.    Q.  Do I need to file city tax or school district returns if I have amount in W2 box 18 &19 ? A. Yes,  probably.    But, there's a major exception.  You normally only have to file a city income tax return in the city you live in. It is not necessary to file one in the city you work in, if different. Your employer will remit withholding to the city you work in, but you do not file a city return unless you're claiming a refund or your employer didn't withhold enough ( both highly unusual).   Only school district residents file a return &  pay the School District (SD) Income tax (SDIT). Non residents who only  work within a taxing SD are not subject to withholding.  If SD withholding was mistakenly withheld, you will need to file an SDIT return, to get a refund. 

I think they probably mean lender.   But either way it doesn’t matter.   Or @rehantx do you work for Intuit or Turbo Tax?   We can’t help you with that unless you really need a copy of your tax return to show your income.   

How do you think an extension for your 2023 tax return would verify your marriage?   Do you not have a marriage certificate?   And....even if you had an extension for a 2023 tax return, that tax return was supposed to be filed by October 15, 2024.   Now it is just late, and if you owe tax due, it is owed with late filing penalties and interest.   Did you ever finish preparing and file your 2023 return?   If not, the only way to file it now is by mail.     When you requested your extension you were supposed to pay your estimated tax due.  Did you enter the payment you made into your tax return?  Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes       You will be able to access the 2023 return you started by using the exact same account and user ID that you used when you started it.   But you can no longer use online software for any further changes.   Online tax preparation and e-filing for 2023 returns is now permanently closed.      Now it is too late to use online software or to e-file. If you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2023 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac  (not to a mobile device).Then you need to print, sign and mail it.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/finish-prior-year-return-started-turbotax-online/L9Oe4M90A_US_en_US?uid=m68tffpe   If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.   They are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time Monday - Friday   https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899263-what-is-the-turbotax-phone-number     If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.    

What kind of information?   You need to ask them for it or the other parent.   Do you need a copy of a prior tax return?   How to Access prior year online returns https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/27010 If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups. Or request a transcript from the IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
