In the current desktop version you don't get two columns using either the "Walk me through everything" or "I'll choose what I work on".  You do get them when going directly to the form.  Everything on the forms appear correct.  It was on the form that I moved the SS income from myself (listed as Spouse) to my husband (listed as Taxpayer).  I think there is an issue using the two guided routes in that neither give an option to enter other SS income or change what was listed.  I don't know if that's an issue because I imported my income data.  That would be my best guess.

Yes, because your total income from all sources (including your New York earnings) exceeds the Connecticut filing threshold of $24,000 for married couples or $15,000 for single filers, you are generally required to file a Connecticut nonresident return, although this full amount is not taxed by Connecticut.

If your software refuses to e-file because Box 1 is empty or zero, the standard industry workaround is to:   Enter $1 in Box 1. Subtract $1 from your Box 14 Housing Allowance total. This keeps the total income reported to the IRS identical but enables the program's e-file capability.

Correct; TurboTax does not directly support the electronic filing of the Washington State capital gains excise tax return. While TurboTax helps to calculate federal capital gains and imports transactions, Washington's 7% tax on long-term gains exceeding $250,000 need to be filed separately through the Washington Department of Revenue.    More information about Washington taxes can be found in this TurboTax blog article.   @turbodb   

When you go into the HSA interview (Deductions & Credit->Medical->HSA, MSA, 1099-SA), as you proceed through the interview, you should come to a screen titled "Let's enter [name]'s HSA contributions".   You enter your "personal" contributions on the second line (the first line is the code W amount from your W-2 and cannot be changed here).   This year, because of the dynamic nature of the interview screens, some taxpayers did not see this contributions screen. What has worked for them is to do the HSA Reset to delete all their HSA data and restart the HSA interview from scratch. Let us know how it goes for you.   HSA RESET ***Reset***   1. make a copy of your W-2(s) (if you don't have the paper copies) 2. delete your W-2(s) (use the garbage can icon next to the W-2(s) on the Income screen)   *** Desktop/Windows***   3. Go to the upper right and click on Forms, and  4. Select the desired form (1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)). Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the form’s screen.   *** Desktop/Mac***   3. Switch to Forms Mode by selecting the Forms icon. 4. From the menu, select the form (1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)) you want to remove (if you don't see it, select Open Form at the top). From the Forms menu, select Remove [form name].   *** Online ***   3. go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to Tools->Delete a form  4. delete form(s) 1099-SA (if one), 8889-T, and 8889-S (if one)   5. go back and re-add your W-2(s), preferably adding them manually 6. go back and redo the entire HSA interview.... @Ducky_atl  @user17723312462  @kevinwrede1 

We can help clear the old W-2 and post the new one. Log into TurboTax Click on Tax Home on the left sidebar. Select Wages & Income. Review/Edit or select W-2. Enter your Employer ID. Select [Type it Myself] at the bottom of the screen. A list of your existing W-2s will come up Select the trash can next to the 2023 W-2 Confirm YES you want to delete the W-2 At the bottom of the page select [ + Add another W-2] Post your 2025 W-2  

Since it isn't on a 1099-B, you will manually enter it as a disposition.   Go to the Federal tab and select Wages & Income. Find the section for Investment Income and select Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other. When asked "Did you sell any of these investments?", select Yes. If asked how you want to enter your info, select "Enter a different way" or "I'll type it in myself." On the "Security Type" screen, choose Stock. For the Sales Information: Description: Enter "[Company Name] - Worthless" Date Sold: Enter 12/31/2025 (The IRS treats worthless stock as sold on the last day of the year). Date Acquired: Your actual purchase date. Proceeds: Enter $0. Cost Basis: Your total purchase price. 3. Reporting the "Worthless" Status TurboTax may have a checkbox or a dropdown menu during the entry process specifically for "Worthless Securities."  If you see a checkbox that says "This is a worthless security," check it. If you don't see that specific box, don't worry. Entering $0 in proceeds on 12/31 achieves the same mathematical result on your Schedule D and Form 8949.

I am on the 2nd to last download of 1099B and 8949. I am totally amazed at the incompetence of Intuit . I received supporting information unfortunately the program downloaded 45 entries and as a day trader no problem will have multiple pages and need to add possibly 80 more entries manually.  Of course any complaints on Facebook is up for review.

Real Estate Property is the proper category.  You'll put the date that the barn was completed and ready for use as the date that you "bought" it.  You will put the total cost of the construction and materials and everything as the "price that you paid."
