I don't know.  I've had it bookmarked for a long time.  Actually I was using it on my iPad and couldn't find it on my Windows Desktop.  But I finally got tired of the old regular search so I copied the link from my iPad.     Now another thing....after you get the search results, if you want to see a post but don't want to lose that search, do a Right Click on the post to see and open it in another tab.  Then you can go back to the search results.  If you do a regular left click on one then when you go back it takes you to the old search layout.  

> TurboTax Business has boxes for the actual payment date of estimated taxes, > which we filled with the dates actually paid. E-filing was stopped dead by those dates, > stating that the date had to be on or before the due dates. > Why does accurate late payment information defeat e-filing? I don't know, but this still (six years later!) remains true. It seems that if an estimated Federal estimated tax payment was late, TurboTax won't let you e-file the Federal (or California!!!) returns, and you have to file both by mail. [ CONJECTURE: it is possible that the problem isn't on the TurboTax end - it is possible that the IRS and California FTB both reject e-files with late estimated tax payments - if so, it isn't TurboTax's fault.]   I spent nine minutes on the phone with TurboTax support on this issue, and they had no workaround I was comfortable with. If I tell TurboTax I made that estimated tax payment on time, knowing full well I didn't, I am explicitly and knowingly committing perjury, since in order to E-file, I must sign "under penalty of perjury" on 8453-FE that "the accompanying schedules and statements" were correct. Additionally, the IRS will flag the inconsistency, since the e-filing includes the EFTPS confirmation number, making it trivial for the IRS computers to flag that the payment date in the E-filing doesn't match their records. In addition, Turbotax immediately removes the late payment penalty when I tell it I paid on time, so the IRS will also see that I am requesting a refund that I'm not owed.  I suppose I could put in the correct penalty by override, but still. BASIS FOR MY STATEMENTS: The specifics of my case today (March 5, 2026): I'm using TurboTax Business Desktop to prepare Federal form 1041 and state (California - 541) returns for a trust.  My EFTPS 2025 Q1 estimated tax payment (1041-ES) was paid late by EFTPS (due date: 4/15/2025, actual payment settled 5/30/2025).    When (in "Step by Step") I told TurboTax I made that estimated tax payment by EFTPS, TurboTax said I needed to provide it: - the actual settlement date (which was after the 4/15/2025 deadline) - the payment amount - the payment method (EFTPS in my case) - the last 4 digits of the bank account used - the full EFTPS confirmation number for that payment Looking at the "Tax Payments Worksheet" in "Forms" view in TurboTax, it says the last four items are required for E-filing. So, presumably, TurboTax sends those details to the IRS when you e-file. And since TurboTax refuses to E-file if the date is late, presumably the date is transmitted as well.  TurboTax didn't complain when I told it that the Q1 1041-ES payment was made on 5/30/2025 - it simply calculated a $25 underpayment penalty and added it to what I owed. I reviewed the underpayment calculation, and it seems correct to me. TurboTax "Federal Review" and "State Review" didn't flag this as an issue - they said everything was fine. It wasn't until the very final e-filing step, after I'd signed and attached Form 8453-FE, when I clicked on the "once you click this E-file button, it is just like dropping it in the mail" button, Turbotax all of a sudden said - wait - your settlement date for the Q1 estimated can't be later than the due date - you'll need to file by mail. Not only would TurboTax Business not let let me e-file the Federal 1041, it wouldn't let me e-file the California 541, either, even though all California payments were timely.

No, the amount in box 1 on your Form 1099-NEC would list your total compensation from the company or individual you worked for. Form 1099-NEC reports self-employment income. The only way you would have qualifying overtime income associated with self-employment income would be if you billed the company more than your normally hourly rate for overtime services rendered. In that case, up to one half of your normal rate may be eligible for an overtime deduction.

You will find Schedule E by going to the rental section.  If you are using TurboTax Home and Business, this will be found in the Business Income section.  If you are using Premier or Premium this will be found under the income section.  You can also click on the magnifying glass to search for schedule E. 

NY is one of many states that use the full income to create a higher tax and then allocate the tax because it gives the state more income. Using just NY income, there would be no tax and no income to the state.

The regular standard deduction is not phased out by your income.  Since both you and your spouse are over 65, that would be the regular standard deduction for a couple that is filing a joint return with both people over 65.   The senior bonus deduction is what is phased out due to income is over $250,000, the BONUS would be fully phased out, but not the regular standard deduction.  As long as line 13b is $0 then this is correct.     The additional amount is the extra $1,600 for each of you that is part of the standard deduction.  This is NOT affected by your income. 

If the loss is from self-employment income, you would need to update your self-employment income entries and on the screen that says Your (name of business) Business, choose the Special Situations option under Final Details. On the next screen choose the option that says I have passive activity losses carrying over form 2024. On the next screen you can enter your loss carryforward.   For a rental property, update your Property Profile on the screen that says Review your (name of rental) Rental Summary. Work through that section until you come to a screen that says Do any of These Situations apply to this Property? The last section says Carryovers, and that is where you can enter your loss carryover from the previous year.

Thank you for your quick response. The Fed ID is 10 digits and Oregon is evidently 8 digits.  This wasn't required last year so I don't have anything in my notes about this. Even called Oregon and the tax department said it was not necessary. Maybe another state and Turbo added it to Oregon, too, by mistake?
