If Turbo Tax doesn’t offer PayPal you can buy Turbo Tax at other places like Amazon.  Be sure to buy a code for the Desktop program.   Some places are also selling a code for the Online web version.   You can buy Turbo Tax at several stores like Costco, Sam’s, etc.   Where can I buy Turbo Tax Desktop program? https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/choosing-a-product/help/where-can-i-buy-the-turbotax-software/00/25893

I created two amendments to my Michigan return. The first was to match what they did, remove the pension subtraction.  I then did another amendment to add the deceased spouse information by doing manual overrides for those fields on form 4884.  I submitted this amendment to Michigan by e-file with the reason that I forgot to include the deceased spouse information.  I received a check from them yesterday - the refund that they had removed!  So that's what Michigan is looking for. If there's a "4" on the 1099R, the deceased spouse info is required,  even if the filer would be entitled to the subtraction by their age.

It depends. If you are calculating your home office deduction using a percentage of the square feet and taking depreciation on part of the home, then a capital improvement that pertains to the entire home such as a generator could be added as a separate asset and depreciated as well.   Whether you deduct the cost of an expenditure for the current year or recover it through depreciation over several years depends on whether it was for a minor repair or replacement or resulted in a capital improvement to your home.    Capital Improvements extend the life of your asset and are not an ongoing repair expense. This would include the improvements to the part of the home not related directly to the home office.  In other words, any capital improvements to the entire home are eligible to be use as part of the cost of your home.  For any year after the year your business began, you would add an asset called improvements.  The home office use percentage will be applied to this new asset.     For example, if you repair some minor damage to the floor, that could be seen as a current year expense. If, however, you replaced the flooring throughout the home, the new flooring would be listed as a new asset subject to depreciation.   The difference between repairs and capital improvements is also discussed in this TurboTax tips article.   @user17754131067 

You can edit the child's information in the dependent section of TurboTax where you initially entered your child's information. This is the information that flows to ‌Form 4547 for the Trump savings accounts.   In the Personal Info section on the screen that says Your Personal Info Summary, click on Edit the right of your dependent's name and review your TurboTax screens to edit your dependent's information.   Children born from 2025–2028 and who are U.S. citizens are eligible for the one-time $1,000 deposit from the U.S Treasury once their Trump account is created.   This doesn’t count toward annual contribution limits. Some children, even those born outside 2025–2028, may qualify for other automatic contributions through private donations.   You will also be able to open an account at trumpaccounts.gov starting in the summer of 2026.    A Form 4547 is used to initiate the "Trump Account", with contributions that will start in July 2026.  The Trump Account is for children under 18 with a valid SSN. The contribution is a $1,000 contribution for children born between Jan 1, 2025, and Dec 31, 2028. Click here for What are Trump accounts?

You can use the below instructions to download your prior year tax return, then you can pull that same number off of the 2024 Form 1040 line 24, and enter that amount into the '2024 tax liability field'. You can also Ctrl + F search for "2210" to find the 2024 Underpayment of Estimated Tax form if it is included (line 4 just asks for the current year tax, same as what's on the 1040).    To print: If you've started your return already Sign in to your TurboTax account. Make sure you're using the same TurboTax account (same user ID) as in previous years. There are two ways to get your prior-year returns: Select Documents from the menu, use the dropdown menu to choose the tax year you want, and select Download tax PDF. On Tax home, scroll down and select Your tax returns & documents. Select the year you want and select Download/print return (PDF). If the year you're looking for isn't there, it might be in a different account. Go here to find all of your accounts. One of them should have the return you're looking for.

If TurboTax is not letting you continue, you can try the following: Go out of your program and go back in. Clear your cache and cookies. Try a different Web Browser. If you are using TurboTax Desktop make sure all updates have been run on your program. You can do this by clicking on "Online" in the black bar across the top of your TurboTax screen. And then select "Check for Updates". If you have any additional questions or information regarding this please return to TurboTax Community and we would be glad to help.

Web sitesinden veya uygulamadan referans bağlantısı alabilirsiniz. Giriş yaptığınızda göreceksiniz. Ama hiçbir ödül vermiyorlar hahaha. Geçen yıl birçok arkadaşımı davet ettim ve hiçbir sebep yokken 200 dolarımı kestiler. Hala onlarla konuşmaya çalışıyorum ama cevap vermiyorlar.

Boxes 5, 6, and 7 on Form 1099-NEC (both the version released in December 2025 and the draft version for 2026) are related fields regarding the state and need to be entered consistently or not at all.   Box 4 shows the Federal income tax withholding. If there was no Federal withholding shown on the form, leave it blank.   Please clarify your issue if different.   If the program seems to be caught in a loop, try these steps:   Clear your browser cache and cookies Log out of TurboTax Restart your device Log back in   @watusi 

If you do not see the QBI, check if:   The QBI deduction may be zero if your Total Taxable Income is zero.  Even though you have $29,000 in business profit, the QBI deduction is calculated as the lesser of: 20% of your Qualified Business Income, OR 20% of your Total Taxable Income (minus capital gains).  For the 2025 tax year, the Standard Deduction for married couples rose to $31,500. If your total income (Business + W-2s) minus deductions falls below zero, there is no "Taxable Income" to apply the 20% deduction against.   OR   TurboTax must aggregate all your businesses to calculate QBI.  If you had businesses with losses, they must first offset the income before QBI is applied.  

This error is generally because your software is not updated.  First try correcting this by:   Update your Software:  Select Check for Updates in the Online menu Run as Administrator:  Right-click the TurboTax icon Choose Properties Go to the Compatibility tab Select Run this program as an administrator Check System Time:  Ensure your computer's date and time are accurate, as discrepancies can cause secure handshake failures with the IRS. Clear Cache:  For business products, try clearing the "Electronic Filing" cache Firewall/VPN:  Temporarily disable VPNs or antivirus software during the update and filing process.  If the error continues, you can print your return and mail it.  How do I file my return by mail?   How do I contact TurboTax?

For Married Filing Separately (MFS) in TurboTax, you generally would enter only the portion of property taxes and mortgage interest actually paid by each person, rather than entering the full amount.  

So it seems that as long as I enter the Payer name, address and EIN plus the amounts received I can still e-file with TurboTax? I’m actually trying to complete this return for my brother who lives in another state. 

Do you mean how to you claim a tuition credit (fill out form 8863) without using a 1098-T?   If you were issued a 1098-T, you DO want to use it to claim the tuition credit.  Otherwise, you enter your information in the same place as people that do have a 1098-T. When asked if you got one, answer no. On the next screen say yes to qualifying for an exception.    In TurboTax (TT), enter at: Federal Taxes Tab (Personal for H&B version) Deductions & Credits -Scroll down to: --Education   --Education Expenses and Scholarships (1098-T)

TurboTax does not support the computation of the General Rule Method.  The taxable amount of the distribution is manually computed.   Box 2a Taxable amount may be entered at the screen Enter your 1099-R details if you are not able to generate the entry screen Annuity information.    IRS Publication 939 General Rule for Pensions and Annuities including IRS actuarial tables may be found here.  The worksheets are found on pages 12 and 13.   @slpoetzl
