@fege ,  generally, if the situation is that  (a) at least one has met the ownership requirement, (b) only one meets the 730 days of usage ( with a look back period of  five years  from the date of sale closing),  and (c) you have not used this gain exclusion in the last 2 years,  ONLY that person that meets all the requirement can exclude  up to $250,000 of capital gain from taxation.   Note  that if the prop. under consideration was used a income property  anytime  during ownership, then the  allowable accumulated depreciation must be  recognized as a reduction to basis and any due to this  must first be considered as ordinary gain ( re-capture), the rest of the gain is capital gain and eligible  for exclusion treatment. Based on facts and circumstances , there may be other "ands", "ifs" and "buts" applicable.   Is there more I can do for you ?

we are all terribly disappointed that TurboTax decided not to continue with its deductible. It has been so helpful when preparing my taxes. I researched and found a new program called Deductible Duck. I believe it’s too late to download your data from its deductible straight into Duck Deductible yeah that , but it is a system similar. It’s deductible that you can keep track of your charitable contributions  I strongly suggest you give it a try. Here is a link to the product. I have found it very helpful    

I upgraded to Windows 11 a few weeks ago and just tried to download TT. My screen says after I enter my License Code: "Which operating system do you use? PC/Windows (Not supported) Mac". I can only select Mac even though it's a Windows download/purchase. It doesn't make sense. Please help!!!

The IRS does lump all Roth IRAs together and treat them as a single account for the purpose of withdrawal ordering rules. You cannot choose to withdraw only from a specific account; all your Roth IRAs are aggregated.  The IRS mandates a specific order in which funds are considered to be withdrawn, which applies across all your Roth IRA accounts:    Direct Contributions: Your own direct contributions to any Roth IRA are always considered to come out first. These can be withdrawn at any time, tax-free and penalty-free. Conversions and Rollovers: Next come amounts from conversions and rollovers (such as from a traditional 401(k) or IRA). These are tracked as separate "pots" or layers, each potentially subject to its own 5-year clock for penalty-free withdrawal of the principal amount. Earnings: Finally, earnings on all contributions and conversions are considered to be withdrawn. Earnings are tax-free and penalty-free only if the distribution is a "qualified distribution" (generally after age 59½ and after the main 5-year earnings-tracking rule is met).  Even if you maintain separate physical accounts to simplify record-keeping for your own tracking purposes (which is a common strategy), the IRS views the money across all accounts as one pool and the mandated withdrawal order must be followed for tax reporting. 

The FAQ at the bottom of this posting will tell you how to get to the Michigan "Where's My Refund" lookup tool, and if necessary, how to contact the Michigan Dept. of Treasury.   However, the Michigan Dept. of Treasury website currently says:          "Temporary Service Limitations for Individual Income Tax Systems From October 16 to November 12, individual income tax systems have limited functionality as we undergo final preparations to launch a new and improved system. Treasury staff are unable to process returns or make account adjustments during this time."   and   "Refund processing is currently impacted by system upgrade initiatives. For both e-filed and mailed returns, please allow 10 weeks before checking your refund status by phone or online."   However, there are some additional things you need to check.       First, you need to be sure your state return was successfully filed.   If you efiled, be sure your efiled state return was accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can check by looking at the Tax Home in your Online account.   Or did you choose to file by mail instead?  TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you have to print, sign, date, and mail it.   FAQ:  How do I track my Michigan state refund? https://ttlc.intuit.com/oicms/L5VlbOtDE_US_en_US

And you may have to switch to the Desktop download program to fix it.   Or maybe you don't need to even file a return.  Did you get a W2 or 1099 for work?  You don't have to file if you only have W2 income under 14,600 but you can file to get back any withholding taken out in boxes 2 or 17. But you don't get boxes 4 or 6 back. If you got a 1099Misc or 1099NEC you have to file it as self employment income no matter how small the amount.   How to finish a return you started online https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-finish-a-prior-year-return-that-i-started-in-turbotax-online/01/26322

That ended in 2010. If your state has such as credit, you will be able to enter it when you prepare your state return.   Buying a home is not a guarantee of a big refund.  Your deductions for homeownership combined with your other deductions (if any) must exceed your standard deduction to change your tax due or refund. If you purchased your home late in the year, you do not even have a full year of home ownership deductions.   Your closing costs on your new home are not deductible except for prepaid interest, prepaid property tax or loan origination fees.  There are no deductions for appraisal, inspections, title searches, settlement fees. etc.   Your down payment is not deductible.   Your homeowners insurance for fire, hazard, flood, etc. is not deductible for your own home.   Home improvements, repairs, maintenance, etc. for your own home are not deductible.  (With possible exceptions for certain energy credits) (BUT——do make sure you keep careful written records/invoices, etc.  of any improvements you make to the home for someday when you sell it.)   Homeowners Association  (HOA) fees for your own home are not deductible.     HOMEOWNERSHIP DEDUCTIONS   It is very hard for a lot of people to use itemized deductions now that the standard deduction is so much higher.  Your home ownership may not have any effect on your tax due or refund, especially if you purchased the house late in the year.   Standard Deduction Your itemized deductions have to be more than your standard deduction before you will see a change in your tax owed or tax refund.  The deductions you enter do not necessarily count “dollar for dollar;” many of them are subject to meeting  tough thresholds—medical expenses, for example, must meet a threshold that is pretty hard to reach.  The software program uses all the IRS rules that apply to the expenses you enter, and it tells you if you have enough to use your itemized deductions or if using the standard deduction is more advantageous for you.    2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS SINGLE $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind + $2000) MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750  (65 or older/legally blind +1600) MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500  (65 or older/legally blind + $1600) HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)     For 2025 through 2028 there is an extra  deduction amount of up to $6000 per individual 65 or older filing Single, MFJ, or HOH which is phased out above certain incomes.
