No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/contact-turbotax/L2y9ZKpQB_US_en_US?uid=m5s9l2vh

Form 1065 Schedule K Line 13(e) Code V is for Section 743(b) negative income adjustments. This basically duplicates the entry on Line 13(e)(G), which is dedicated to this deduction.    Section 754 depreciation belongs on Line 13(e)(C) and the only code available is ZZ.

I’m still struggling with the Loss Carryover for my closed LLC.  My loss in 2024 was $11,448.  I’m expecting the loss from 2024 will appear on my 2025 return, on both Line 3 of Form 8995 and Line 3 of my Qualified Business Income Deduction Summary for this year, and that the total of both year’s losses will be my Loss Carry-Forward from this year’s return..  The loss from 2024 doesn’t appear on either form, and my Loss Carry-Forward now appears to be only this year’s loss ($3,980). Should the 2024 loss appear where I’m expecting it, and should the sum of that loss and this year’s loss show as the total Loss Carry-Forward for the closed LLC?  Please let me know, and thank you!

Thank you for the timely response and confirming what I thought might be the best solution. I wish TT will address this in the future release by adding an extra step of letting the user to enter the account total max value if they know it. Best,  

@taxdrama wrote: The paid internship was with NIH, which issued a 1099-G for about $18K and showed it as Taxable Grants. Sharing to see if this is the reason I am being forced by TT to work on Form 8615, Tax for Certain Children Who Have Unearned Income. My other unearned income is about $150 in bank interest and $19 in dividends. I am also a self-employed tutor from where I earned about $5K in 2025. Yes, this can be a problem.  When a child is under age 24 (and meets certain other conditions) and has certain income, it can be taxed at a higher rate.  This is meant to capture parents who put investments in a child's name, but it can also affect an adult child who gets certain types of income.   A 1099-G is not the right kind of tax statement for this income, it probably should have been on a 1099-NEC. Whether or not it would be reported as self-employment income or an educational stipend depends on whether this was part of a degree program or something you did after, and I would have to do more research on that.  (Sometimes, companies "hire" people and falsely call them interns.  For a real internship, it must be educational to the intern and the intern can't be a substitute for an employee--can't do the same duties as an employee, for example.). A don't think there is a problem classifying an NIH internship as educational.  But the problem is that it is still "unearned income" which triggers the higher tax rate.   I need to ask another expert for help on this, @DoninGA  @Hal_Al 

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing or the timing when the IRS releases your refund.    The IRS states that most federal tax refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance, however, some may take longer if they require additional review. Also, by law, the IRS cannot issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This applies to your entire refund, not just the portion related to those specific credits.   Here are a few FAQs to help you track your refund: When will I get my federal tax refund? How do I track my state refund? Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"? Why do some refunds take longer than others? What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?

It depends. If you know you had tips, and you have a final pay stub or other documentation to show your tips you can add them to box 14 by selecting 'Add another box 14'. (As advised by @MarilynG1).   Or, if you prefer, after you complete the W-2 information you will reach a screen:  'Let's check for other situations', select the checkbox next to 'Tips not reported on my W-2'.  Once this is completed TurboTax will walk you through the remaining questions about your tips.  The next screen is 'Now let's enter your unreported tips'.
