Hi @elaine91 Thanks for joining the community!  There may be some credit cards that allow paying rent. Try searching  "Which credit card can I pay rent with?" to start your research.  Here's some articles and a discussion on how to start building your credit:  -How to build your credit -How to increase your credit score -How to Raise Your Credit Score Perhaps some others here on the community will have tips for you as well. Best of luck! 

Or... was the word "failed" a typo---do you mean that you filed a tax return?       You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.    https://myturbotax.intuit.com/     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/27010     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-2021-turbotax-online-return-pdf/L8dHfRkpT_US_en_US?uid=m5y4ch1y   Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery     Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-tax-file-computer/L0XJvPaJr_US_en_US?uid=m6gufxei     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/data-systems/find-tax-data-file-mac/L4VNGm33S_US_en_US?uid=m6guhab0 You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf       SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS ! EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.    https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-2021-turbotax-online-return-pdf/L8dHfRkpT_US_en_US?uid=m6guj526   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-2021-turbotax-online-return-pdf/L8dHfRkpT_US_en_US?uid=m78eb8pc In order to transfer a past year return to the new return you need the tax file   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-turbotax-online-return-tax-data-file/L4xwOG3LF_US_en_US?uid=m6guk3xl   NOTE:  TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years.  Returns older than seven years are purged.      

Hi. He was a fulltime student through May of 2025 (meets the 5 month test), he provided for less than 50% of his support, and he will turn 23 in late December 2025. So yes, he does qualify to be my tax dependant for 2025.  (My crystal ball wasn't very clear in Dec 2024 when I had to make these decisions how the future world would look.)   What i meant by him being 'well short of the qualification income threshold' is that he won't earn enough ($10k in 2025 income) to even qualify for APTC on his own, and if I don't claim him as a tax dependant for 2025 and include his 1095-A info on my return as my dependant, he will have to pay back the entire APTC amount for 2025 - which is very significant.    So it sounds like even though I told Marketplace when I enrolled him last year that he would NOT be my dependant for 2025 tax year, I can simply file my 2025 return listing him as my dependant to reconcile his 1095-A Form numbers using Form 8962  (and he will file his return as a dependant to get refunded his fed/state statutory withholdings), and this will all reconcile out fine; I will have to repay a small, manageable amount of our combined APTC since we will all three (me, wife and son) will all be one happy tax family with a slightly larger total income and be eligile (in total) a slightly larger subsidy amount (maybe?).   Does that all sound correct? Thanks

I am retired with SS and a small pension.  Schwab takes out the tax on my RMD.  My understanding (from the forum) is that if I don't allow Schwab to deduct the tax, TurboTax will use my solar credit to pay it.  If I owe more taxes, I will pay the additional tax when I submit my tax refund.  Do I have that correct?

Every Thursday there is an update so I just check then.   I have the tax calculation coded into a spreadsheet so I have a pretty good estimate of what my tax is for the year but I like to match Turbo tax just as a form of peer review.  

You can purchase the preliminary version of the desktop TurboTax software for 2025 at the following link. https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/compare/desktop/ The preliminary versions are known to be incomplete and contain errors, and they might not include all of the changes in the new tax law. The software will be refined by numerous updates over the next couple of months before it is really ready to use. You can't file your tax return until sometime in January anyway. And you cannot complete your tax return and file it until you have all of your W-2s, 1099s, and other tax documents.  

Thanks, all!  I used Dinkytown for my Federal Estimate and the State's 1040-ES worksheet for 2025.  I am done sending estimated tax to the authorities.  Buying this early version of 2025 TT didn't help, it didn't have Sch. D and one couldn't input anything in any background worksheets either.  But it was a good idea buying at Black Friday prices.

See https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/loans/whats-turbotax-flex-advance/L2Xg6I...   You'll probably have to call the number listed on that site. I don't think anyone here can assist you with this issue.
