(a) What date and with which visa did your spouse enter US ? My spouse entered the US under the Ukrainian Humanitarian Parole (UHP) program in September 2022. (b) Is your spouse still in the US Yes, she is. She has been in the US since September 2022. (c) Spouse's US immigration status ( citizen/ GreenCard ) ? None of these. She has: - Ukrainian Humanitarian Parole (UHP) - Temporary Protected Status (d) What date and with which visa did you enter the USA ? I did the same and entered the US under the Ukrainian Humanitarian Parole (UHP) program on August 15, 2023. (e) When exactly did you leave the USA ? 08/15/2025 (f) Did your work visa expire or you just decided to leave the US for Portugal ? Was granted parole for two years and did not receive approval to stay longer. (g) Are you a citizen of Portugal or are you a greenCard living in Portugal ? None of these options. Same as in the US I have a European analogue of Temporary Protection. (h) What are your longer term plans --- i.e. is this a temporary situation or what ? Not sure if it's relevant to my taxes, but I can't answer this question because just I don't know. I might return to the US this year, or I might not - have no idea. (i) What are your financial or other connections to the USA ? Do you own home and/or significant financial connections in the USA ? I have nothing in the US

Yes, that answer helped. However, the following text below the entry field appears to apply to the *total* entry but I think this limit only applies to the *deposit* component. I don't think there is a limit on the *interest earned* component. "Important: This deduction is limited to $5,000 per account per year. If you are filing a joint return and both you and your spouse make eligible contributions, each of you may claim this deduction, up to $10,000 per account per year. The deduction is only available for 5 years after the Ohio Homebuyer Plus account is opened with an eligible savings institution."

I lived and worked in the United States. Note that it is not a company, but an international organization, like the United Nations.

In order to enter the information in TurboTax for the Renter's Credit, you go through the MN interview until you see the screen Other Minnesota Credits. The first option is Renter's Credit. Select this and continue. You'll need to confirm you meet some requirements, then you can enter information from the Certificate of Rent Paid.

W2 Box 14, has always been used to report miscellaneous things by employers that in the past did not affect tax returns. This year with the changes due to One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), box 14 is being used to report qualifying tips, and sometimes qualifying overtime. If you are not sure what your employer mean by TT, you should ask to ensure that you enter the information correctly on your return. In TurboTax, enter the description from your W-2's box 14 on the first field in the row. Enter the dollar amount and select the correct tax category that goes with that description. If none of the categories apply, scroll to the bottom of the list and choose Other (not classified). Don’t worry. We'll figure out if it impacts your return or not. If we need more information, we'll ask you.

I had a question if this is considered converting $8000.00 using $0.0 of my own money since it was a non deductible contribution. I'm unsure of which option to select of the choices listed below. These are my options in turbotax online version to report roth conversion: Because $0.00 was withheld in taxes, you should only select Yes if you actually converted $8,000.00 using $0.00 of your own money. Yes, all of this money was converted to a Roth IRA No, I converted less than $8,000.00 Thanks for helping me figure this out.

I’ve been trying to use the Pay with Refund feature, but every time I get to the end, it says I am ineligible. No error codes, no explanation. I have been back and forth through the TurboTax forums, Reddit, and the TurboTax help AI, all with no success.
At first, the issue started with saying I was ineligible for the “5 days early” option. No problem at all, but then I went through and tried to do regular direct deposit, and it won’t allow it.
I’ve tried switching the accounts for direct deposit from my checking to my savings, to my other savings. I’ve made sure that the accounts match as well of course. My returns are more than enough to cover on both the state and federal side, combined or separately.
I’ve looked at all of the requirements for Pay with Refund and I meet all of them. I don’t understand why I am unable to use this feature.
The ONLY thing that I can think of that could be triggering it is that I had added some miscellaneous income to the “other income” section and then learned that it was non-taxable and did not need to be reported. I deleted the entry. The AI at one point said this would not be considered a manual override or manual change that would disable the Pay with Refund feature, and then at another point said that the exact opposite and that it WOULD.
The other thing that the AI help chat couldn’t give me a clear answer on was that a 1099-misc can sometimes cause issues in special circumstances. I have no special tax situations, but I filed a 1099-misc received for my state’s paid family/medical leave. I didn’t have to upload a copy of this form like the others, just input the information. I’m wondering if that is part of the issue?
Again, no special tax situations. I’ve been using TurboTax since 2017 and I’ve never had this problem before, so I’m really confused.
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated, thank you!

They expect you to wait until you have a week left before they tell us they're not replacing it with any functionality. We're being strung along. If they intended on having the functionality, they'd have left the functinoality. You will almost certainly be entering your long list of charitable donations one by one but they'll have some tool to generate a value as you painstakingly enter items one by one, answering about 5 questions for each. I have zero hope that they'll release something with the functionality we are waiting for. That would be called "itsdeductible" and we know we're not getting that. Don't wait, ditch them. They don't deserve you. Request a refund. They're not getting any more of my money after 23 years.

There is no way to enter the New York deduction for union dues in TurboTax Online. It requires an entry that can only be made in forms mode. TurboTax Online does not have forms mode. Forms mode is only available in the TurboTax Desktop software.
In the TurboTax Desktop software, go to forms mode and open Form IT-196. The union dues that you entered in the federal return should be on line 21 of on Form IT-196. Open the Itemized Deduction Schedule Addition Adjustments form, or QuickZoom to it from Form IT-196 line 44. Enter the union dues on line 4 (item K) of the Addition Adjustments form. It will flow to Form IT-196 line 44 and will be included in the total itemized deductions on Form IT-196 line 49 and Form IT-201 line 34.
You can switch from TurboTax Online to the Desktop software without losing what you have already entered. See the following FAQ for instructions.
How do I switch from TurboTax Online to TurboTax Desktop?
Note that the deduction for union dues on the New York tax return is an itemized deduction. If your total New York itemized deductions are less than your New York standard deduction, your New York tax return will use the standard deduction and the union dues will not make any difference. If union dues are your only itemized deduction, it is not going to be enough to exceed the standard deduction.

@jmotobo Figure it out yet??? For "Windows" Computer. 1) Click on the Windows icon in the lower bar (four squares) 2) From the pop-up window, look for and click on the All > towards the top rt of the pop-up. 3) scroll down the list of programs until you get to the TurboTax programs in the "T" section. 4) Left-click and HOLD on the year needed, and drag it to the desktop. That will create a shortcut to the program on your desktop
