I had the same situation with both my Federal and State returns rejected with IND 517-2, when my daughter filed her tax returns without checking box 12a "Someone can claim You as a dependent." I searched online, and it said to have my daughter obtain an IP PIN from the IRS. (www.irs.gov/getanippin). She got her IP PIN, and we entered it into our tax returns.  On TurboTax Desktop, Federal Taxes > Other Tax Situations > Other Return Info (Identity protection PIN). Resubmitted the e-file. Again rejected IND 517-2. I decided to obtain my IP PIN and enter it on the return.  Since I was the primary on the return, I just entered mine to see if it would get accepted. After 45 minutes, I received a text message that our Federal returns were accepted.   *NOTE* My daughter did amend her returns by checking box 12a. You will also have to amend the State returns as well. Hope this helps.

I received a 1099-S real estate tax 1959.11   but my closing expenses were $29,248.75   There is no place to put the 1099-S  $1,959.11 whice was in the closing statment.   this program asked about the 1099-S but no where to put it.  this was a watse of money i have to take it to someone, this is very clear.

POSSIBLE FIX!!??   I read on another thread that if you leave the penalty and go on to the next screen there is a question that asks if you took the full amount required for 2025.  Once you answer yes, then the penalty goes away!  They all agreed that TT needs to fix this so we don't all panic as we have, and they need to put this question FIRST!!  I have not tried this yet, but my situation is a bit different.  My hubby turned 73 in 2025 and DID take his first RMD, on the advice of our financial advisor, in 2025 due to Medicare rates that are influenced for several years by too much income.  So now TT asks what was "DUE" by 12/31/2025 which would really be $0 because his wasn't REQUIRED until the following April, but he actually took it in 2025!  Do I put the amount in for 12/31/2025 as REQUIRED when it really wasn't required?  Is TT going to be looking for him next year to take it in 2026 twice and penalize us because it thinks we didn't take it in 2025?   Seriously, there are numerous items in TT that really need clarification, or TT shouldn't even need to ask if you've filed with them before!  There are many things they ask that they should already know!  For example, if I imported our financial document that shows a Treasury Bill came due in 2025, why are they asking me if I if one did?

If you are not seeing all the menu options on the left side try clicking on Add a State to let you back into your return. Do not click on Amend. You are not actually adding a state, it will just let you back in.   

It wouldn't necessarily cause an audit.   However, the IRS has been know to scrutinize returns with losses and potentially missing income.   Top 4 red flags that may trigger an audit   @user17755954983 

The federal law regarding depreciation changed for 2025 but not the state. You will need to make any corrections on the k-1 screen, not in the GA return.    If your k-1 shows bonus depreciation, it must be added back as your picture shows. GA also deviates on business interest limitations.   Check your supplemental pages for the k-1 before making any changes. If your K-1 shows depreciation at an accelerated rate, you do have a GA addback.

No, you do not add it as a form W-2.   Income reported in box 1 of form 1099-NEC is self-employed income. You are considered as self-employed and in IRS terms, are operating a business doing what you do to earn the income reported on the form 1099-NEC. You enter your form 1099-NEC in TurboTax and TurboTax will populate a Schedule C after you enter all your information. You can deduct any expenses you paid related to this activity (such as supplies, car expenses, etc.)   Self-employed income is subject to income tax AND self-employment tax (calculated at 15.3% on 92.35% of net self-employed income).   You do not own a business in the common meaning of the word. So in TurboTax answer that you use the cash method, that you do not have an EIN, that you materially participate in the business. You use your own name as the business name and your personal address as the business address. You can use 999999 as your business code.   You’ll need to use TurboTax Deluxe (or TurboTax Online Premium if you have expenses to deduct), or any version of TurboTax CD/Download.   You can read this TurboTax article for more information.
