You will want to add this under Other taxable income.   Under Less Common Income select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C On the Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income, Start Other Reportable Income On the Any other Taxable income? page, select Yes On the next page, click on the Add button Enter the information on the Other taxable income (I would use 1099-MISC with Payer's Name here as Description) and enter the amount as a Negative to cancel out the income.  

Thank you for taking the time to type that all out! Really really appreciate you!   I bought other T bills and those were reported on the 1099-INT (I held them to maturity). The T-bills I sold were listed separately with the following clause: "The transactions in this section are not reported on Form 1099-B or to the IRS. Report on Form 8949, in either Part I with Box C checked or Part II with Box F checked, as appropriate."   I was scouring these forums, reddit and other places and realized it can't be capital gains. I was doing the math as [amount gained from sale]- [(days held / 182 days) x initial discount] = capital gains or loss and it's a pretty low number either way (one gain, one loss) (182 because they were all 6 month T bills, so 182 days)   not sure if that math was correct (I found this formula after hours of googling) but the value is pretty negligible    Will go with reporting as interest on schedule B.   Really really appreciate you posting again. I won't be selling T-bills before maturity again...    There are multiple reddit threads of people complaining that Schwab and Fidelity don't handle it properly, though I only found them since this is the first time I ever needed to sell T-bills.

There are many reasons for MI to be reviewing your return. If they  can't resolve an issue, they will notify you to clear it up. Otherwise, they will decide to let it go through and you will never know the reason unless you call the state - 517-636-4486.

Same issue. Contacted Ally today (Feb 18). Their reply: "Yes, we were able to confirm that Apex is in the process of completing this connection that makes the tax forms available, and we expect them to be ready on turbotax by the end of the day tomorrow. Thank you for your patience." An earlier post had said it would be available today, so we'll see, but I'll try again on Friday.

@MarilynG1 I'd like to see the IRS regulations you are using to support use of Comparative Sales Price, please.    From Pub 561 web page, comparative sales is more for property like houses/rare books/etc, where the item you are donating is not an exact match for something sold on the market, so you need to find something "comparable".   For stocks/bonds, Pub 561 *clearly* states (see below) that one should take the average of the high/low price on the day of the donation, or from the nearest date if you donated on a day the market was not open.    TurboTax should fill in the form with what the users in this thread have correctly attempted to do (select "average price method").  Whether the stock was inherited or purchased should not impact the sale value or the methodology for determining that value.  Maybe it impacts the cost basis determination method(?).   https://www.irs.gov/publications/p561 Stocks and Bonds   The value of stocks and bonds is the FMV of a share or bond on the valuation date. See Date of contribution, earlier, under What Is Fair Market Value (FMV)? Selling prices on valuation date. If there is an active public market for the contributed stocks or bonds on a stock exchange, in an over-the-counter market, or elsewhere, the FMV of each share or bond is the average price between the highest and lowest quoted selling prices on the valuation date. For example, if the highest selling price for a share was $11 and the lowest $9, the average price is $10. You get the average price by adding $11 and $9 and dividing the sum by 2. No sales on valuation date. If there were no sales on the valuation date, but there were sales within a reasonable period before and after the valuation date, you determine FMV by taking the average price between the highest and lowest sales prices on the nearest date before and on the nearest date after the valuation date. Then you weight these averages in inverse order by the respective number of trading days between the selling dates and the valuation date.

That worked- adding the box 1 amount to 16. Thanks so much!   But Intuit- why doesn't the software tell me that?  It's frustrating to have to hunt for an answer in the midst of doing your taxes. There really isn't as many easily found answers and help in the 2025 version.  

Hi, I made all the entries as explained in the form 1099-MISC entry, but found that the box 1 exemption amount did not flow through to the Mass. State Return.  I am wondering if I should just enter all the amounts on the W2 as is, then use the check box on the following screen for Medicaid Waiver might do the trick.  Any thoughts?

Follow these steps to enter an IRS form 1099-NEC in TurboTax Online.   Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal. Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages & Income. Scroll down to Other Common income.  Click the down arrow. Click Start / Revisit to the right of Form 1099-NEC. The IRS presumes that IRS form 1099-NEC income is self-employment income subject to income tax as well as self-employment tax.

Are you looking for your 2024 AGI?   You need your 2024 AGI to efile 2025. The AGI is on 2024 1040 or 1040SR line 11. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse. How to find the AGI. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947 If you didn't file 2024 or filed it later in the year or mailed it, then try entering 0 for the AGI. If that doesn't work you will have to print and mail your return. Or request a transcript from the IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
