I'm working on an amendment, Form 1040X, using the TurboTax 2023 desktop app. According to TurboTax's article, "Can I e-file my federal Form 1040-X amended return?", it is possible to e-file. However, I'm observing the generic message "E-filing is Closed for the Season, You Can File by Mail". I'm not sure whether this applies to the original return, amended, state, or federal returns as the language is broad. If I continue to click through I get to the "Transmit Returns Now" view. I've received conflicting info from TurboTax "experts" using the chat support feature. On March 23, 2026 one said I can e-file federal while on April 8, 2026 a second person said I must print and mail federal.

The mortgage that is under your name means that only you are responsible for the payments even though the property is in both names. However, the IRS generally allows a person to deduct mortgage interest if they are a legal owner (on the deed) and actually pay the interest. It makes sense since if you defaulted, then the other owner would, in most cases, take action to secure the property with the lender. The amount of the deduction is based on what is actually paid by each owner. @user17581270646

Generally the one who pays the expenses deducts those costs when itemizing. As a practical matter you can decide how to split the costs.

You don't want to upload your W-2c. Instead, you want to make changes to the existing W-2 entries in your return that match the changes on your W-2c.

If you are a J-1 student, have you met your 5 calendar years of exemption? If not, then you would not file a form 1040 which is what TurboTax handles, you would need to file a form 1040-NR as a non resident alien. TurboTax does not handle the form 1040-NR, but our partner Sprintax.com does. If you are still a Non Resident Alien, you would need to amend your return and change to the 1040-NR. Sprintax can help you with this and possibly resolving your identity verification.

Yes, you may be able to deduct 18% of your rent paid or take a credit of $50 in New Jersey. You will see that option when you review your state entries in TurboTax on the screen that says Property Tax Deduction or Credit for Homeowners and Tenants. Scroll through that section to enter your rent information to see if you qualify for the credit. You can learn more here.

@riederer I think @TomD8 and @xmasbaby0 use Illinois software They might be able to check what the current IL software does for transferring IL withholding....though "online vs Desktop (Windows vs MAC) could have different issues. I know that in some situations...in past years...that deleting the entire State formset, then restarting it....that would re-initiate the data transfer of $$ from Fed to State forms. Kind of a last resort, but it has worked for many folks.

It should be reported as "other income". Try deleting your 1099-MISC entry and start over. Follow @DianeW777's instructions above and it will be reported as other income, not self-employment income. Be sure to:
Indicate "None of these apply" on the "Do one of these uncommon situations apply?"
Indicate "No, it didn't involve work like [your] main job
Mark "[You] got it in 2025" only
Mark "No, it didn't involve an intent to earn money"

Since your form shows $0 for wash sale, it seems to have been absorbed into the second sale. Verify your cost basis reported and add the adjustment if it has not been already added for you.

Yes, that is correct. You can utilize 50% of what you pay that is necessary for the rental portion of the house assuming that is a reasonable rate.
Example: If the entire house is utilized by both your daughter and the tenant then 50% would be a reasonable rate. If there is any square feet where the tenant is not allowed to use, then it's the total square used by the tenant divided by the total square feet of the entire house. This will give your the correct percentage to use for expenses paid for the entire house.

Yes, it is (at least in the Desktop product). The list in the dropdown is not in alphabetical order, so you have to search row by row. It's on the 4th screen on the dropdown if you page down through the entries.
If you are using TurboTax Online, look for it again and please come back and tell us if it's really not there.

Hello, My partner and I are on deed at Property A and we both paid for mortgage and property tax from a joint bank account. Mortgage is under my name, but property deed has both of our names. My partner supports parent (dependent) at Property B and filing as Head of Household with Property B address. I am filing as Single with Property A. We are not married. Can we split (60% me, 40% partner) the Mortgage Interest and Property tax deduction? We each are itemizing to file. Is the split itemized deduction doable? We both are using TurboTax. Thank you very much for feedback.

I am filling out form NJ-COJ to determine my tax credit for Philadelphia Wage Taxes, as I am a resident of NJ. My local wages are $96,568.29. The Philadelphia wage tax I paid is $3,317.07. This is what I entered in Box 9a on the form. According to all my research - as well as my own manual completion of NJ-COJ - this is what I should enter in Box 9a, as well as what I should receive as the credit (as it is the lesser of Box 8 and Box 9a). TurboTax, however, has the credit calculated at $2,986. There are no links to determine how the program arrived at this number, nor can I "edit" it. It's hard to imagine TT made an error, but I cannot reconcile these numbers. Everything else between my manual NJ-COJ and TT's version of the form matches. Does anyone have any insight into why this is the case, what I may be missing, and if TT is wrong, how to correct it?
