if box 13 of your k-1 13M reads $111,000, that's what you syupposed to enter in TurboTax. what you need to do is go back to the company and get explanations.    income subject to SE tax is reported in box 14 usually 14A.    the K-1 is supposed to reflect what needs to be reported on your 1040 for the current year 

Enter zero when asked for prior year Adjusted gross Income (AGI).   See the following links for more info:   What do I put for my AGI if I didn't file last year? Where do I correct my AGI in TurboTax Online?

You do not enter expenses based on how they were paid for.  You simply enter the expenses that you had. TurboTax (TT)will the allocate then to the best tax benefit.  That is, TT will allocate tuition, books and computer to the  American Opportunity Credit (AOC) up to the amount needed to get the maximum credit.  Anything left over will be allocated to the 529 plan.  So, there is only one place to enter books and computer. 

The form is "Available".  If you haven't already, update your software by going to the black menu bar at the top of the screen. Click on "Online" and then "Check for Updates".  If that doesn't solve the issue, try a manual update of the software as follows:   Close TurboTax Business and all other programs except this browser window. Select this link to download the 291 MB update. Save the update file to your Windows desktop. Double-click the update file w_bizrelsuperpatch... on your desktop to install the manual update. 

Just a thought: It really should be as simple as asking your child's other parent if you can claim the child this year. If they say yes, go for it.    I'm pretty sure if you both end up claiming the child that'll drastically hold up both returns and possibly guarantee an audit!

TurboTax generlly assume an activity does not qualify for QBI, so there is a check box to say it does. it reads something like a qualified business under 199A. In addition, certain info must be entered in the QBI section of the TurboTax form

@ miguelaf1957  Please confirm something.   Underneath your question there is a tag that says "Online TurboTax." Please state exactly what product you are using and if it's online in a browser or in installed software?   Unlike a handful of other authorized retailers, Costco only sells the TurboTax desktop software.   Did you buy desktop TurboTax Home and Business from Costco, but ended up in Online TurboTax by mistake (Online Premium edition) instead of using your desktop product?   

I should say, there is no "other" option once you've selected 1099-B, but again, if you have to choose something else in order to work around the system, that is sloppy.  Why not just put an "other" option under the 1099-B form page?

Does column A exactly match what was on the last accepted return? Some amend by changing the original return to see what it will look like or to get a head start on amending, rather than starting with the amended return link which results in rejection.  Another possibily is perhaps you filed the amended return too soon after the original.    the rejection message does not come up on a websearch 

You can use the instructions below to remove the fee or possible downgrade your return. If there is a Form 1099-Q added to your tax return, you may have to delete it first.

I'm having the exact same issue with a Rheem heat pump water heater, QMID K3A8. When I work through form 5695 manually I see that I am eligible for the full 30% credit, but Turbotax calculates a credit of $0 with the message, "Based on what you've entered so far, we can't get you the home energy credit for 2025 and you have no credit to carry forward to 2026." My tax liability is significantly more than the non-refundable credit amount.

@David66, you must not have read the other messages that said there is NO "other" option.  If there were, that would be fine and make sense.  It makes NO sense to report a CD as a stock sale.  Even if the IRS doesn't care, it's sloppy.
