It depends. The line 9b, Form 8960, is specifically for your State, Local and Foreign Income Tax. It would not be associated with your interest from Treasury Bills. Compare the numbers with your deductions on Schedule A, if applicable. Instructions Form 8960 Please update if you can provide additional details and need further assistance.

Yes, as an Alabama resident, you can deduct real estate taxes paid out of state on your Alabama individual income tax return, provided you itemize your deductions on Alabama Schedule A. Alabama tax law typically follows federal rules, allowing you to deduct state and local property taxes paid on real estate you own for personal or investment use, regardless of which state the property is located in.     From the AL Form 40 instructions: "Real Estate Taxes (line 5). Include taxes you paid on property you own in any state that was not used for business. If you pay real estate taxes as part of your mortgage payments, do not take a deduction for that amount. Deduct the taxes in the year the mortgage company actually paid them to the taxing authority."

I had done that previously and it generated errors. However, today it appears to be fixed. I've deleted my previous form, filled in a new one, and now there are no errors. All I can say is, "It's about time."

Same problem.  As in past years, I divided tax-exempt interest and dividends between Ohio and XX Multiple States in TurboTax Premier desktop.  But for 2025 taxes, my Ohio Schedule of Adjustments form, line 1 under Additions,  is considerably understating the amount of "Non-Ohio state or local interest and dividends" that should be added back to my Ohio income.  That had never been a problem in previous years, but it is a large difference for 2025.  Please correct the coding error in handling tax-exempt income in TurboTax.

@Ptmmryan Yes, forms view is only available in the desktop software; you will not be able to override values in TTO (and this is not recommended, generally). Also, you scared me for a moment, so I went into TurboTax Online to verify that the warning screen does appear; it's this one, the second screen in the state return interview:     Once this page has been cleared, you will be able to complete and file your Idaho state return. Thank you for your patience.

I am filing  a corporate return and TT forces me to AMT Special Depreciation., hence the subject of this post AMT Special Depr Allow must be entered" I have no AMT Special Depreciation, but for whatever reason I can not finish without filling out this field. It is either the same amount as the depreciation or 0.

The Interest Income Interview in TurboTax Home & Business provides a way to enter nominee information. When you select Continue after the first entry screen for an item, the question appears, "Do any of these uncommon situations apply?". Select the box, "I need to adjust the interest reported on my form". The Learn More link next to that option provides additional information about related topics including Nominee Interest. Click Continue.   The follow-up screen includes a box in which you can enter the amount you need to deduct from your taxable interest and to select the reason, including that you are a nominee. The additional information you entered will appear on the Form 1099-INT Worksheet you can see in Forms Mode. It also appears on Schedule B, Part I - Interest.   You are correct that the program isn't allowing the user to right-click in the description fields on Schedule B to add supplemental details under the Nominee Distribution. I will submit this issue for possible investigation.
