I have never seen such a worksheet in Turbotax. from what i seen for reporting of distributions by ETFs (may not be derivative ETFs) is that the ETF reports to the broker the % that is a ROC for each distribution. the broker then uses these %s to calculate and report on 1099-DIV the taxable and non-taxable portions. perhaps contact the ETF about tax reporting. 

Are you asking about installing the 2024 Desktop program?  I had to download and install it again when I upgraded my computer to Windows 11 from Windows 10.     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. Access your downloads here https://shop.turbotax.intuit.com/commerce/account/secure/login.jsp?pagecontext=download    

Do you have a 5 digit PIN # or a 6 digit Pin?    There are two separate PIN numbers that may be on your tax return. If your PIN has six digits, it's an IP PIN. Here's where to enter it: 1. Sign in to TurboTax Online. 2. Select Other Tax Situations. 3. Select Start or Update to the right of Identity Protection PIN. 4. Answer the first question Yes. 5. Select Add to the right of your name. 6. Enter the number on the next screen. 7. Continue your tax return. Add or remove the 6 digit IP Pin https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/add-remove-6-digit-ip-pin/L1cz7f2zQ_US_en_US?uid=lvsmwnj4  

  Not classified as a qualified disaster loss The Los Angeles fires of January 2025 are not classified as a qualified disaster loss for tax purposes. While the IRS has provided tax relief for affected taxpayers, the fires did not meet the criteria for a qualified disaster loss as defined by the IRS, which requires a disaster to be declared by the president and to have begun on or before a specific date. Therefore, individuals and businesses affected by these fires may not qualify for the same level of tax relief as those affected by "qualified" disasters. IRS   thus your loss is reduced by $100 and 10% of your adjusted gross income. In addition, you don't also get the standard deduction. 

Different types of nonprofit organizations have different filing requirements. You should consult a local tax professional who specializes in nonprofits. You cannot use TurboTax to file for a nonprofit organization.  

Hello, I wanted to let you know that MI state refunded the amount my dad paid to the state. He actually never owed this money to State but paid them because State sent an invoice stating he owed money due to the reasons explained in my prior message. This all had to do with LTCG from selling their property in India.

To check on regular tax refund status via automated phone, call 800-829-1954.   Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities.  There is no rule as to which one will come in first or how long it will be between their arrival in your account.   TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS.      First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/   Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.     You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2024 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds   To track your state refund:     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr   If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refunds-take-longer-others/L14YlqFrH_US_en_US?uid=lexdr7zh . https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/irs-refund-taking-longer-21-days/L2vRAJbdU_US_en_US?uid=lexe7lst         Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line. So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead. Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment". Then press 3 "for all other questions." Then press 2 "for all other questions." - When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don't enter anything. - After it asks twice, you will get another menu. Press 2 for personal or individual tax questions. Then press 3 for all other inquiries It should then transfer you to an agent.
