What taxes and fees are you talking about for the estate?  We were told from the beginning we could not touch the money until the very end when it would be divided.  Which means the estate couldn't pay for anything. So I paid all legal and other expenses for the estate from 2020-2023 out of my own pocket.  I was paid back by the estate before the money was divided.    Was I able to write any expenses off on my personal taxes for paying the estate bills?  Could I amend my taxes to do so?     I am looking for an accountant now, but find way more "Tax Prep" services than CPA's online.  And very few Enrolled Agents.  This is definitely way above our heads so a professional is needed.  Just not sure what type is best.I guess it was too much for H&R Block as well.  They never mentioned anything but the 1099 forms the estate received.   Lastly, since we didn't know about this last 1099, what started the search was a tax bill from the state.  With large penalties and interest.  I called them directly and told them the estate was now closed and had proper documentation.   The state tax person on the phone said ok and would wipe away the bill.  They sent us a letter saying the "matter was closed", but that's all.   IF we figure this last 1099 situation out with the federal taxes, will the state then come back at us?  Even though we have a letter saying the matter was closed.  She did not put a balance of $0.00 on the letter, even though I asked her to do so.     This is getting insane!!  Thank you all for your help.

here's a link to its 2024 tax booklet and i don't see what you mention anywhere. file:///C:/Users/MIKE/Downloads/Cedar%20Fair%20L.P.%202024%20Tax%20Instruction%20Booklet.pdf      CF is a Publicly traded partnership and PTPs don't report income/losses on form 8582.   

I don't think you're going to see much implementation of the 25 new tax laws in the 24 program - what if section for 25, other than known changes like the old standard deduction. most of the change affect tax credits and itemized deductions /standard deduction which have no effect on MGI. the items affecting magi the the tip deduction - will that affect MAGI or just taxable income. the same with overtime . there will be a charitable deduction for non-itemizers and bonus depreciation will be 100% subject to certain restrictions Before these changes can be implemented for Turbotax 2025, IRS has to write the regulations of how these changes are to be implemented/work.  

Only the IRS knows what all it is doing with your return.   Here are some things to check:   First, you need to be sure the return was successfully filed. It depends on how you chose to file the return.   If you filed a paper return by mail, TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you would have had to print it, sign it, date it, and mail it yourself.  It takes at least 4 weeks for a mailed return to show up in the IRS WMR tool.     If you efiled, double-check to be sure the return was efiled successfully and accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can sign into your Online Account and check the efile status at the Tax Home.   What word is used there for the status:  accepted, rejected, printed, started, ready to mail, or something else? If that showed it was accepted, (or if you mailed a paper return), you can use the "Where's My Refund" tool at the IRS website below to monitor the status of your Federal refund.   Is there any message there? https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund   Here are some tips when using that IRS tool:   Be sure you enter the correct tax year, SSN, and filing status. Be sure you are using only the Federal refund amount.   Do not include any state refund or any total refund or net refund (Fed and State) that TurboTax may have provided on a summary screen.   Look at your actual Federal return to get the Federal refund amount to use in the tool, i.e., your Form 1040, Line 35a.

Did you get a 1099R?   That is if you took a IRA or 401K or retirement withdrawal.   Or did a rollover.  Or got a pension or other reasons.    If you don’t know why you got one then ask the plan why.   Enter a 1099R under Federal Taxes Wages & Income Then scroll way down to Retirement Plans and Social Security Then IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) – Click Start
