Have received no reply to my question.  I don't recall any instance where the Community has not responded to any of my questions over the years. Did you read my question? Would you care to reply?   Thx  

If the property was your primary residence for at least 2 years (730 days) of the last 5 yaers (1826 days) you owned it, counting back from the closing date of the sale, you will qualify for the exclusion. Note that in the process of entering the sale in TurboTax you will be asked if this sale includes the sale of your primary residence. You have to select "YES" in order to be presented with the questions/selections that you have to answer/provide in order for the program to "know" that you qualify for the exclusion. 

In case anyone hasn't seen this..... It's Deductible is being discontinued Oct 15, 2025. You can export your ItsDeductible data for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 before October 21, 2025. https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/login-password/export-data-itsdeductible/L7g6R08jW_US_en_US?uid=la19aqdr

I took the recommendation and contacted the Office of the President.  They got back to me within a day.  ItsDeductible is being discontinued. I did take the opportunity to express my displeasure at the late notice; noting that this could not have been a recent decision.  She acknowledged that the decision was made "a while ago".  She followed up with an encouragement to download my 2025 data (as well as previous years) as well as the pricing data.

In both the Online and Desktop program  you can go though the Estimate section or in the Desktop program there is also a What-If worksheet.    To plan for next year in the Online version you can go though the Estimate section. Click on Add A State to let you back into your return, Be very careful not to change any of your actual current return. Or you can set up another account to test in. You don't have to pay unless you want to print it out. You can use the same email address for 5 accounts. You can just type W4 in the search box at the top of your return, click on Find. Then Click on Jump To and it will take you to the estimated tax payments section. Say no to changing your W-4 and the next screen will start the estimated taxes section. OR go to Federal Taxes or Personal (Home&Business version) Other Tax Situations Other Tax Forms Form W-4 and Estimated Taxes - Click the Start or Update button Say No to W4. When you get to the W4 and Estimated Taxes section, say you want to adjust your income to go though all the screens. If you have the Desktop program you can do another test return, go up to File-New or save your return with another name to test in, go to File-Save As.   In Desktop there is also a What-If worksheet.  Go to Forms Mode, click Forms in the upper right or on the left for Mac. Then click Open Forms box in the top of the column on the left. Open the US listing of forms and towards the bottom find the What-if worksheet. It's right under Estimated Taxes.  

Try entering 0 for the AGI. The IRS might have processed your return later so the AGI didn't get entered in time.  Especially if you mailed it.  That works for most people. See, https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/rejections/help/what-if-i-entered-the-correct-agi-and-i-m-still-getting-an-e-file-reject/00/27031 How to correct the AGI in the Online version https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/where-do-i-correct-my-agi-in-turbotax-online/00/26311 If you can’t get it to efile you will have to print and mail it. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online/00/26258 Be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them.  You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places.  Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.

either as a loan from shareholder or a contribution to capital. loans can have adverse tax consequences. IRC section 7872 may apply which would require the corporation to pay you interest to you on the loan(s) if they aree above a certain amount. the other issue is while this gives you basis to deduct S-corp loss, losses reduce the basis so repayment can result in income.  this does not appear to be the case in which the money is treated as paid in capital.   howwver, not knowing your full tax situation, best advice would come from a tax pro who could go over evrthing peersonal and corportate for the best outcome 

We have a commercial rental property that installed a new AC unit. The depreciation life is 39 years. Since the Unit was placed in service in the mid of year, the bonus depreciation will only be few hundreds. Section 179 should allow me to take the depreciation up to the net income, but Turbo tax keeps calculated as this bonus depreciation number. 

I haven't seen anything and had to dig to find it out. Doesn't even mention it on ItsDeductible itself. I can't imagine that it costs that much to upkeep it. I've used it for years and now will feel no loyalty when choosing which tax product to use for 2025 - will just choose the cheapest instead of keeping Turbotax.
