Thank you for your assistance. I would like to clarify the basis of the asset in question. Given that the property is over 50 years old, the Indian Government acknowledges the difficulty in accurately determining its original price. As such, the basis for valuation has been set to the property's worth on April 1, 2001. Typically, indexation would commence from this date. As we discussed and agreed, we will not be applying indexation. However, I would like to confirm if we can still use April 1, 2001, as the basis for the property's valuation, especially since it was transferred via a gift deed prior to her grandfather passing.

IRA means individual retirement arrangement.  You have one arrangement, no matter how many accounts it is split into.  You do not need to track the basis separately, just note the total amount of contributions made to any Roth IRA.     In your case, you have made $150,000 of conversions, that is your conversion basis.  You apparently have no contribution basis.  If you withdrew $41K, your remaining conversion basis is $109K.     Turbotax should track that correctly, maybe you confused the program by trying to keep the account separate.  In any case, if you are audited, you need your own accurate records of your conversions (form 5498, probably)--nothing you entered in Turbotax will be convincing to the IRS since you could type anything into the program that you wanted to, even if it was not true.  

The IRS has not finalized the new forms yet, but the deduction will ultimately flow to Part III on the Schedule 1-A of the 1040.  TurboTax will guide you through entering the amount and generate any needed forms.  The employers are not required to report the qualified overtime compensation in a separate box on your W-2 for 2025, they will for 2026, but are being encouraged to report it as an item in box 14 for 2025 or provide a separate statement.  Alternatively, you can track it yourself utilizing pay stubs.  Keep in mind that only "qualified overtime compensation", is deductible and is limited to $12,500 or $25,000 if married filing jointly.  

There is new information.  The IRS is not changing the W-2 for 2025.  As a result, your overtime will not be automatically reported.  We still haven't seen the final forms or regulations.  It may be that the employer will issue a letter with the correct info, or it could be that you self-disclose.  We have to wait for the final forms and instructions. 

You will have to contact TurboTax support for assistance with this problem.  See this TurboTax support FAQ for contacting support - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/turbotax-phone-number/L0Od33nMQ_US_en_US?uid=lfgviwbm

Be sure to have the 2024 return file ending in .tax2024 on your computer so you can transfer it into the online version next year. If you used the Desktop program before you may notice several differences and not like the online version. It has less features and no Forms Mode. And you will have to pay first to see all the forms. All the Online versions do not have the same forms so you may need to upgrade to a higher version. Online Premium is the highest vesion and has all the same forms as the Desktop programs. You can only do 1 return per account. And pay for each account. You can use the same email for 5 accounts. Federal and state are separate fees. Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2025 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done. In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something. You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.

The tag below your question says that you use TurboTax Online. If that is correct, it makes no difference whether you have Windows 11 or not. You will be able to use TurboTax Online for 2025 on the same computer that you used for 2024.
