The Oregon Health Plan insurance premiums are reported on a Form 1099-B. The information on that form is not reportable on your federal tax return, so it will not affect your tax return now or in the future.

Your estimated tax payments will serve as a credit against your Federal tax liability and have to be entered on your tax return.   In TurboTax Online, you can enter estimated taxes you paid by following these steps: Open your tax return Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then Deductions & Credits Navigate to the list of Deductions and Credits  Locate the section named Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click on the arrow on the right  Click on Start next to Estimated Tax Payments On the next page, click Start next to Federal estimated taxes for 2025 (form 1040ES)

@keith-l-bundy wrote:   Rental income is $6500 so my understanding is I cannot get a loss that flows to Line 8 of my 1040.   It depends.  Do you Itemize your personal deductions on Schedule A, rather than taking the Standard Deduction?   On another note, is the "cleaning and maintenance" all 'shared' things, like maintaining the building?  Or is any of that specifically and solely for cleaning after tenants?      

Thank you very much.  One more question:  Will the IRS computer system think there is an error in my return if I checked the SEP box on the worksheet, when I have a solo 401(k)?  Is there any other way to do it that will not look like I checked the wrong box?  

Are you on Windows or Mac?  Did it save your existing return ok?  How are you trying to start a new return?  Go  up to File-New Tax return.  Have you updated the program?  Did you try reinstalling the program?   If you can’t update your Windows program try doing a Manually update https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/updating/help/manually-update-turbotax-for-windows-software-basic-deluxe-premier-home-business/00/26041 Troubleshooting the Windows updating issues https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/troubleshooting/help/troubleshoot-turbotax-for-windows-updating-issues/00/25885 OR if you can't update it, try reinstalling the program. It will have all the updates to date. Since you now have to log into an Intuit Account when you first install it, all your downloads and licenses are listed there (even if you bought it from somewhere else) so if you need to install it again or install on another computer, even on the other operating system (Windows, Mac) you can download it again. And the download will have all the updates. Sign onto your account here to download the program and to get the license code https://accounts.intuit.com/app/account-manager/productsBilling/turbotax

@phdstudentb ,  based on your post  (a) need the exact dates  for 2025 -- when you left and when you came back. That example  #10,  uses exact dates to compute  whether you passed SPT prior to exiting the country.. So , and based on your  post that you left ( while still on J-1) at the end of July,    For 2023 --  08/xx/2023 -- 12/31/2023 ---- Exempt  ( J-1) For 2024 -- 01/01/2024 through 12/31/2024 -- Exempt (J-1) For 2025 -- 01/01/2025 through  08/xx-1/2025 -- Exempt (J-1)                      09/xx/2025 through 12/31/2025 -- Exempt on F-1 Thus I conclude that you are probably exempt for 2025..   It would be best if you provide more details on your sojourn in the USA for the full six years  from 2025 backwards.     Please I am assuming here that while on F-1 you are actually meeting the requirements  ( full time student )  

Which operating system are you using, Windows or Mac? Did you click on File at the top left of the desktop program screen and click on New Tax Return?   Have you saved your tax return, closed the TurboTax program and then re-booted your computer to see if that would correct the problem?   This type of problem has not been previously reported.

If you still owe back taxes, the IRS may offset your 2025 tax refund (which includes your child tax credit).   The Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS) will send you a notice if an offset of your tax refund occurs. The notice will reflect the original refund amount, your offset amount, the agency receiving the payment, and the address and telephone number of the agency. BFS will notify the IRS of the amount taken from your refund once your refund date has passed.    You should contact the agency shown on the notice if you believe you don't owe the debt or if you're disputing the amount taken from your refund.    If you don't receive a notice, contact the BFS's TOP call center at 800-304-3107 (or TTY/TDD 866-297-0517), Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST.   For more information: https://fiscal.treasury.gov/top/
