We exchanged one timeshare property (100% personal use) for another and got a credit for the entire initial purchase, which was reported on a 1099-S.  I found where to input on TurboTax premium, but do I enter the closing costs for the original property or the second property?    thanks!

Hello community - I have a couple questions about TurboTax's calculation of total medical expenses, regarding both how it's shown in the tool and ultimately on Schedule A.  For tax year 2024, for example, I had $3,220 in total out-of-pocket medical expenses (including premiums and anything else applicable, and excluding anything not applicable).  But - TurboTax input $960 for some reason into Line 1 on Schedule A - that's the line BEFORE lines 2 and 3, which apply the 7.5% rule.  In this case, 7.5% of my income was just over $3,220, so I would not have been able to deduct medical expenses anyway, but it seems to apply some math to the raw number that is supposed to be input into line 1, which (I believe) is incorrect.   In other words, $960 doesn't match any single value, subtotal, or anything else related to my actual medical expenses for 2024. And, for this year (tax year 2025), I have entered $4,200 in out-of-pocket medical expenses and $800 in premiums, which should be a total of $5,000 in medical expenses (independent of and before the 7.5% calculation). I also entered my 1095-A info, and paid no other premiums in 2025 other than the $800 indicated above. But, the deductions and credits summary screen shows MORE than my $5,000 - it shows $5,600.  I can't figure out what the source of the additional $600 is, and am concerned when I go to finalize, it's going to do the simple line entries on Schedule A incorrectly.  All other deductions and credits look exactly correct and match what I entered.  I am wondering if someone can explain whether I should be concerned about this and why TurboTax doesn't seem to deal with medical expenses in a straight-forward manner that can be double-checked by the user like everything else.  Thank you in advance for your input! 

When and if I enter earnings from donating plasma as misc income, TurboTax enters it as unearned income and it reduces the standard deduction causing my taxes to go up??? Why does it not get entered as earned income? Shouldn't it be earned income??

I have a  K-1 1120-S with only box 1 and  box 17; section 199A code V, section 448(C) code AC and box 17 code AJ .   Not sure if I I put in the correct info for code V there are two numbers? Ordinary Income (loss),  or W-2 Wages?    I'm not sure what to put in for code AJ because there are two sets of numbers, Agregate Bus Activity Gross Income or Gain - $61k and Agregate Bus Activity Deductions $60k?   Also form 7203 keeps popping up for me to fix but there is no indication as to what needs to be fixed. I can't get beyond my federal check without fixing 7203.   Please help
