"Say "Account Management"."   Instead of "Account Managment", try " I have a question about Identity Theft".   @ganar  P.S. If the wait time is too short, you may not  get the "call-me-back" option.    

  When you requested your extension you were supposed to pay your estimated tax due.  Did you enter the payment you made into your tax return?    Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Estimates and Other Taxes Paid>Other Income Taxes 

To check for corruption, I deleted form 4562 and added another back. This resulted in the same situation as before. Line 12 did auto-populate. It's equal to the sum of lines 9 and 10 but it's still red.   Not sure how to handle this except either file paper or file electronically without form 4562 which is actually required.   Thoughts?

@ilona-miskell , assuming that what you are saying is that the property was owned by your father, then put in a revocable trust before his passing. At death of the decedent this trust became irrevocable.  If that is correct then the usual "step-up" to FMV still operates.  If the inheritor(s) now sell this property  with the stepped-up value of FMV, then there should be NO Gain and hence no Capital Gain. If on the other hand the  property was indeed held in an irrevocable trust, then depending on exact facts and  circumstances, the usual step-up may not apply. In such a case the trust may have to pay capital gain taxes on disposition of the  asset.  A lot depends on the actual  trust document and so I would suggest  that you consult a tax attorney  i.e. if the prop. was indeed held in an irrevocable trust prior to passing of the decedent.

To amend your 2023 tax return you have to use the 2023 desktop software. Before you start the amendment process make a backup copy of the .tax2023 file for your original tax return, so that you can back to the original if necessary, and in case anything goes wrong with the amended return. You can open the original return and use "Save As" to save a copy with a different name.  

Thanks for your reply AmeliesUncle!   Re: Sorry for the misunderstanding, but it doesn't go to waste.  It is carried forward until it is eligible to be used (in your case, when Basis is restored).   billydbrown: I recognized the partial amount allowed by basis. That's the part that goes to waste because it doesn't change my tax liability. Let me know if I'm missing something.   Re: Form 6198 for At-Risk does not apply and should not be filed.  Some people incorrectly use that to limit Basis (TurboTax does not limit it automatically, you need to do it manually), so some people incorrectly use Form 6198 (At-Risk) instead.  Don't do that.   billydbrown: I'm using my basis to define the limit but good to know I can ignore form 6198.   Re: As for your problem about the error on line 12 of Form 4562, unfortunately, I'm not sure why that line did not auto-populate.  Personally, I would remove the override and then finish the return and check for all other errors.  Then see if something made it auto-populate (and also check if there is more than one 4562 on the return, just in case something is showing up on a separate form).   billydbrown: I think it did auto-populate originally but I overrode it. Now, the software doesn't recognize the override nor does it allow me to cancel it. As mentioned originally, all options in the functions menu (rt click) are greyed out except the bottom "about..." link. There is only one form 4562 in my return. Is this file corruption. OK to delete the form?

@Turbo54913 technical support for Win 10 has not been extended, it ends on Oct 14th 2025, other than ESU which provides critical/important security patches for 12 months.  Some folks argue that counts as "support".  Either way, ESU was known when Intuit made their final decision to drop support for Win 10; since then the only thing that's changed is MS making it free if you backup settings to One Drive, or free in Europe.     No doubt consumer lobbying of MSFT continues... see what happens next few weeks as the Win 10 support deadline passes and Intuit releases the 2025 version.

I filed an extension through TurboTax and sent tax payment amount that I expected would be owed. That number was low and I owed more which TT figured the penalty owed by using the date that I entered I would pay. Coincidentally the same day I filed final tax form.   The electronic filing instructions stated pay by 4/15. This is after I filed an extension and noted paid amount then in TT, so obviously TT should have directed to pay amount noted by day that I entered I would pay (10/2), so that the penalty amount would be correct.   The bigger issue with TT though is that I was directed to send payment, even though the tax I filed through TT directed IRS to withdraw from my bank account directly.
