I am assuming this is for NY, as NY is very particular about the document entry. Enter the first 3 characters after, not including "IDUSA".  Some other users experienced errors with incorrect issue and expiry dates, so double check they are correct and not swapped as well.    For more information, see Where do I find my document number so that I can e-file my New York return?   If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15. But remember any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date.

Your date of payment stays valid.  It may take the IRS up to 10 days to debit your account during this time of the tax season.   Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 888-353-4537 to inquire about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling.

Yes, you are correct in that it should be included as income and on your Schedule B. Below is the information to amend your tax return.   Do not change your tax return until you read all the instructions. TurboTax needs to know the original numbers and the corrected numbers to provide the correct end results before you prepare it.   If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.    You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return. Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected. You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment Amend a tax return for the current tax year   it may be easier to report the income on a 1099-INT, then enter it as US Bond interest which will accomplish the correct income and tax, including the state which should not need to be amended since it is not taxable. Be prepared for the state to reach out because they are notified if the IRS receives an amendment.    @sc07734 

This TurboTax error means your sales tax rate used for a major purchase (like a car) does not match the standard, general sales tax rate for your location. The IRS will only allow a deduction of sales tax up to the general rate. If you paid a higher rate, or if the rate used entered doesn't match your location, TurboTax flags it.   Make sure the percentage you entered matches the exact general sales tax rate for your location, even if you paid a different amount.

If you are a single-member LLC, meaning you own the business on your own, but are licensed as an LLC, you must file as a sole-proprietor. In that case you can still have the business name as an LLC. I think that may be your situation, in which case you don't need to change anything.

Yes.  If it is your original mortgage it would be the day of your purchase closing.  The value, most likely, would be your purchase price.  If you refinanced the mortgage it would the loan origination date for the new mortgage.
