You don't enter the 5498. After you enter the 1099R it will ask about the RMD. Just keep going to the end of the retirement section.

Thanks @rjs . My Schedule A line 5e caps the SALT to $10,000. The problem is that "Schedule C line 11b" keeps using the full amount for Real Estate Taxes. This causes the Smart Check to complain with: "SALT Amounts for real estate tax deductions are limited to a combined total of $40,000 ($20,000 if Married Filing Separately)" How do I get past this?

That link is not a solution. Sure, it says you can clear your return and start all over again, but that is not a downgrade. The downgrade only allows you to go to a simple 1040; it does not allow you to simply remove expert assist and keep your same forms. Never again TT.

If anyone else is running into a similar problem, while digging through the Forms view I found the solution: the 1099Q shows the correct dependent name, but it isn't "linked." You have to double click the name and then select the dependent to get TT to associate the 1099Q to the correct dependent. It seems odd that TT didn't link them since they have the same name, but I'm glad I stumbled into the solution!

You can use your property tax bill or tax assessment to determine the value of the land. The value on the bill or assessment won't be accurate, but you can take the ratio of the land to the overall value and apply that to the fair market value of the property. For example, if your property tax assessment says the total value of the property is $100,000 and the land is $40,000. The actual value of the property is $150,000, you would take 40% of $150,000, or $60,000.

I have two children in college and received a 1098-T for each of them. For one of them, I paid the college directly and was reimbursed from their 529. I received a 1099Q for this distribution. The other did not use a 529 account. When I enter the 1099Q for child 1, and the 1098-T for child 1, it shows a partial AOTC. This is correct since I didn't have the full $4,000 difference between the two payments. When I enter the 1098-T for child 2, it shows the same AOTC as child 1! It appears that Turbo Tax is using child 1's 1099Q for calculating the AOTC for child 2? I have more than $4000 in expenses for child 2, so I should get the full $2,500 credit, right? If I delete the 1099Q, both children's American Opportunity Credit go up to $2,500. If I add the 1099Q back, both children's credits drop to $2,315. How do I fix this?

What a bummer!!! Why would they remove being able to upload 1099-R pdf's? I asked my browser's Search Assistant about Turbotax 2025 vs. 2024 and it replied. Many users have reported that the TurboTax 2025 version has deteriorated in quality and user experience compared to 2024, citing issues like inefficient processes and difficulties with importing data. This has led to dissatisfaction among long-time users who feel the software is no longer intuitive or user-friendly. You can say that again!

You cannot deduct your rent. It doesn't matter if you are a student or not. If you bought a new vehicle in 2025 that was assembled in the United States, you can deduct up to $10,000 in interest on a loan for that vehicle. Otherwise, you cannot deduct interest on a car loan.
