You owe the federal?  Yes, you can say you will mail a check and then pay it  later either by check or direct debit from your bank account or by credit card.  But if you pay after April 15 they may add interest on it.  

  If the plan uses a calendar year, you are correct that separating from service by the end of 2024 would mean that you are not covered for 2025 because you are not eligible for additions for 2025 due to no longer being an employee.  However if the plan uses a fiscal  year, just because you were not an employee on December 31, 2024 does not necessarily mean that you are not an active participant for 2025.  It depends on which month the plan's fiscal year ends and when in 2024 contributions were made.  If the employer's plan uses a fiscal year instead of a calendar year and the employer or, while still employed, the employee made contributions for the plan year that ends in the year after the year that the employee separated from service, the individual is an active participant.  The marking of box 13 Retirement plan on a W-2 issued for the year following the year the employee separated from service would reflect that, and that's what the IRS goes by.   For example, if the plan uses a fiscal year ending on January 31, an employee who made an elective deferral in February 2024 would be considered to be an active participant for 2025.  By itself, that contribution in February 2024 would not make them covered for 2024 because it was made for the plan year that ends in 2025.

Any HSA contributions in box 12 were already subtracted from your box 1 taxable wages, so you already got the tax benefit by having lower income, therefore lower taxes.  If you think your employer has not reduced your box 1 taxable wages, you need to discuss with your employer to get clarification and possibly a corrected W-2. 

I read this on another post.... When you click in the left column tab for Deductions & Credits, it may take you to a page called "Your Tax Breaks. Lower on that same screen should be a button or link for "Add more tax breaks" or "Show more tax breaks" or similar wording. When clicked, then the screen should expand, and all the deduction topics are displayed including "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid." Then that topic can be expanded further to get the subtopic Estimated Tax Payments.

You can't recover the depreciation in the current year TurboTax, but you can go back to the previous year return and find the Depreciation and Amortization Report. Using that report, you can add the prior and current year depreciation together to get the accumulated depreciation that you can use to report the sale of the building.   You will see an option to print out your prior year tax return, including the worksheets, on your home page when you log into TurboTax.    You report the sale in the business section of TurboTax, on the screen that says Let's gather your business info. Find the Less Common Business Situations menu and choose Sale of Business Property.    @jimsack
