Para hacer tus impuestos ve a TurboTax en español, las preguntas y la información van a estar en español.  El programa está diseñado para guiarte durante el proceso y pedir más información si es necesaria y completar todas las formas que necesites.    También tienes la opción de pedir que un experto en impuestos bilingüe revise tu declaración y la termine por ti usando TurboTax Live.     Y si tienes mas preguntas las puedes hacer aquí en español.    

Since the distribution from the IRA took place while you were a resident of Florida, you are correct, it is considered to be Florida income.   Being a part-year resident of Wisconsin, you should be filing a part-year resident tax return.  As you go through the part-year return for Wisconsin, you should see inputs asking to allocate your income between Wisconsin and not-Wisconsin.  This is where you would indicate that the income from the IRA distribution was not Wisconsin income.

If you are filing a joint tax return you have to enter income from both spouses, and if one of you has self-employment income showing a loss, you will not get the childcare credit.   Make sure all of your income has been entered before you try to work on this credit.

If you are filing a New York state tax return for the 2025 tax year and have a New York-issued identification (driver's license, permit, or non-driver ID), you must enter the document number in addition to your ID number. This document number is an 8- or 10-digit alphanumeric number found in the lower right corner of your ID, or on the back if the ID was issued after January 28, 2014. The document number starts after "IDUSA.”    You can see examples at the New York Department of Motor Vehicles website.

We just purchased a heat pump system -  I understand what you are saying about the heat pump system covers the heating and cooling of our home.     If I put the cost under the most expensive line on the page where is says enter your qualified energy property cost, do I also enter the same amount on the page where it ask for the improvements or replacements installed for enabling property.  To me it seems like this would be duplication of information.   Thank you.  

Well, they are asking the same question for 2025 tax filing.  Why is it still asking  when most of us reported it in 2023 and 2024?  What do we do when we get to that confusing question? Or is this where TT makes us pay more to get the answer? 

You should have downgraded before filing----if you already e-filed, your conversation with customer support will be a difficult one.   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  

Have you tested your depreciation entries recently? Many updates were released over the last weekend in January. It's possible the depreciation calculations were included. Be sure to allow TurboTax Desktop to update when you restart the program (TurboTax Online updates automatically).   We don't have exact dates for program updates. Check back in a few days to see if your experience has been resolved.

It sounds like you may be getting an error due to rounding on your 1099-Q.  My suggestion is that you round the amounts yourself before entering them.  When you do this, is Box 1 still the sum of Box 2 and 3?  If not, adjust Box 3 by $1 to make the math work.  This will not change your income tax liability.

How can I see my TurboTax  fees?  https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US?uid=m682vq7k   If your TurboTax fees are higher than expected, you can reduce them by removing add-ons     (BEFORE you e-file) :   Remove Premium Services Remove MAX Defend & Restore Remove a state Remove PLUS Help & Support Remove Pay With Your Refund  

CSV cryptocurrency upload and the new IRS form 1099-DA may not yet be fully implemented.   The TurboTax Help How do I upload a CSV file of my crypto transactions? states:    In TurboTax Online, enter 'cryptocurrency' in the search magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner of the screen.  Then select 'Jump to cryptocurrency'.   On the Did you have investment income in 2025? screen, select Yes. You may receive the Let's check again for crypto details screen. Answer the questions as they apply to you and select Continue. Select +Add investments if you've already added some crypto info. On the Let's import your tax info screen, select Enter a different way, Cryptocurrency, and then Continue. Follow the onscreen instructions to upload your cryptocurrency. As of this date, I am not not seeing the screens that are listed above.  I suspect the changes that will take place with the new IRS tax form 1099-DA Digital Asset Proceeds From Broker Transactions are complicating the rollout of the cryptocurrency functions in TurboTax including CSV processing.    This tax year introduces a new IRS tax form 1099-DA Digital Asset Proceeds From Broker Transactions.  IRS Form 1099-DA will be used by brokers to report proceeds from (and in some cases, basis for) digital asset dispositions to you and the IRS.

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return. If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again. If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return. Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS. See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a current year tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.   Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead.    What is the rejection code or rejection message?     If it was rejected for AGI—-your 2024 AGI might not be in the IRS system if you filed late.   Try using zero instead.   If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/where-do-i-correct-my-agi-in-turbotax-online/00/26311   If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.  

It would be best to double check with the manufacturer to be sure you have the correct code. Also, check to see if they did register with the IRS here. Qualified Manufacturer QMID code (Qualified Manufacturer Identification Number) is a unique 4-digit code required for claiming the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (EEHC). If you confirmed all is correct, be sure your TurboTax software is updated with the latest information.  TurboTax Online will update automatically.  TurboTax Desktop is as follows: Sign in, select Online in the top left menu bar,  Next, select Check for Updates TurboTax will update or alert you that you are already up to date. per DianeW777
