So if you deleted boxes 6 and 7 from the 1099-NEC and the system still says that it "needs review" then delete the 1099-NEC entirely and then re-enter it but this time do not enter anything in boxes 6 or 7.  That way the system will not think that any of the state information is relevant.

I use turbo tax premier,  It does not give me the option of selecting  "This is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual, it is from a sporadic activity or hobby."  Where do i find this option?

Thank you for response. I phrased my question poorly. We took a distribution from the Trad IRA and moved part to Roth (conversion) and part sent to Feds and State as withholding. We have not contributed to the IRA's outside of previous employment and rollovers from other IRA's or 401K's.

This can happen when: the state is not set to e-file but paper mail your fees for tax preparation are coming of your refund- maybe at the federal level. States have a payment portal online that is safe and quick. Check your state for how to make payments.

Use FreeTaxUSA for the kids (they allow multiple accounts per one email) and use TurboTax for yourself if you have things like consolidated 1099 forms. FreeTaxUSA handles simple returns with ease but folded like a cheap suit when I tried to import 1099 consolidated forms. 

I do not receive a W-2 or 1099 from my church.  100% of what they pay me has been designated as housing allowance.  Where can I enter this in TurboTax so that it treats the housing allowance it should (no federal or state taxes owed on this money; only self-employment tax is owed)?  

I made a mistake the gain was 248,000   also we only owned .7 percent of the bank stock.  When I go to enter for the ohio business deduction,  it says we do not qualify.  Also we live in Texas not Ohio.  on the ohio state form it treats the gain as a nonbusiness gain.  It asks what source is the gain.  Does it belong to Ohio or not.  Also is liquidation the same as a merger.    On the federal form it was handled as a type A reorganization where the shareholders received a mix of acquiring company stock (tax-free) and cash/other property (boot, which is taxable).  The 248,000 was the taxible gain. I have read where because we live in Texas and owned .7 percent.  The gain is not taxible in Ohio, but Texas.  Because it is a nontangible gain.  That we would only be taxed on our share of the company's regular operational income.  My share of the income was -157,000 because the company loss last year. Where do I enter all this and where does the 248,000 belong

Penalties are charged on the amount that is owed after your payments are applied.  If your payments are made timely and equal or exceed your tax liability then there is never a penalty.  If your payments are not made timely or you owe taxes then there may be a penalty assessed.     In this instance the amount that you paid in is seen by the system as enough to avoid a penalty.  If the system is wrong you will receive a letter in the mail from the FTB.

Go to the Federal > Wages & Income > Other Common Income > Refunds Received from State/Local Returns section. Ensure you have entered two separate entries: one for your husband’s 1099-G and one for yours. When you enter yours, the software should trigger a set of questions about your 2024 filing status. Tell it you filed Single for that year.   As a result, this should create a separate State and Local Income Tax Refund Worksheet for both of you.

Not quite the sequence of steps, however, got it done to my satisfaction. Now have a 1116 form to which I had to add the date of distribution, since no Steps required that info. Done with my taxes, and I owe ONE HALF of TurboTax's initial assessment due to TT importing double forms of DIV and INT in one import. This has been a nightmare year of tax reporting, cuz I cannot get to the origin of an error in your computations. I guess that's what I pay for - your computations, my grief. Much more reasonable taxes due - finally, done, Sharon  

If the amended is for one of the five already filed, it won't be a new e-file and should go through. The matching SSN identifies you filed the original and amended.   Otherwise, you will need to print and mail. Use certified mail, no signature.
