You can enter estimated tax payments you made in 2025 in the Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid section of TurboTax.    You can get to the Estimated Tax Payments section under Deductions and Credits.   For more information, see our help article,  Where do I enter my estimated tax payments?

I am having the same issue.  I enter "G" in the code -- and have checked on the 1099-R Form that it is there.  However, I never get the follow up questions "Did you roll over all of this $ to another retirement account?", to which you will answer, "Yes, I rolled over $ to and IRA...", then Continue" All the questions in the Easy Step ask about rolling over to a Roth Account, to which I replied "No" If I go to the Form, none of the boxes indicating a Roth Rollover are checked (although B4 indicates the entire amount for "The amount that may be may be rolled over or converted to a Roth IRA).  Nonetheless, it is appearing as "Nontaxable Pension" in the Income snapshot.

Follow these steps: Review the personal section and verify it does show both of you. Perhaps the spouse is not showing in that section. Verify one form per person is checked. You can't have two forms for one person. A full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files). Online version: Delete the forms 1099-SA and 8889, see How to Delete   Log out of your return and try one or more of the following: Don't use Internet Explorer. Clear cache and cookies, Sign in using a different browser. Sign in using a different device. Log back into your return. Enter the information again. Desktop version:  Delete the forms 1099-SA and 8889. Save your return while closing the program. Update the program Open Enter the information again.

No, the IRS allows the deduction for personal property taxes (excise tax) because they are based on the value of the vehicle and charged on an annual basis if you itemize deductions.  The registration fees are not deductible as a personal expense.  See Is Your Car Registration Deductible? for more information.

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.    Sometimes—not always— the IRS corrects your mistakes, while they are processing your return.    If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed   The Form 1040X is scheduled to be available on February 19.   The date is subject to change, so check on 2-19 to see if it is ready.   Before that, do not change anything at all on your return.

Answers to your questions:   Yes, this is an expense for the company. No, this wouldn't go on your k-1.  The interest income will be entered separately on your personal return. Treat it as if you received a 1099-INT from the company. Since this is an expense for the company, you would record this in the corresponding expense account. This would be recorded as interest expense in TurboTax, for the business, and interest income in TurboTax, on your personal return.

Are you the custodial parent?  Do you have an agreement with the other parent to allow the other parent to claim them--due to divorce or that you live apart and share custody?  Did one of you sign a Form 8332?   If there is a signed 8332 then the custodial parent retains the right to file as Head of Household, get earned income credit and the childcare credit.  The non-custodial parent gets the child tax credit for children under the age of 17.  If the child is 17 or older the non-custodial parent gets the $500 credit for other dependents.   If you and the other parent have a signed agreement, you need to indicate in MY INFO that you have such an agreement.   As far as the IRS is concerned, the custodial parent is the one with whom the child spent the most nights during the tax year--at least 183 nights.

MY DEPENDENT HAD A JOB If your dependent has a W-2 for his after-school job, summer job, etc. you do not include the information on your own return. You can still claim your child as a dependent on your own return.  He/she can file his own return for a refund of some of his withheld wages from boxes 2 or 17 (he won’t get back anything for Social Security or Medicare), but MUST indicate on it that he can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return.  (Supervise this closely or prepare it for him!) If your dependent’s earnings were over $400 and were reported on a 1099Misc or 1099NEC then he must file a return and pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.     You might also want to use free software from the IRS Free File versions: https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/

Were you successful downloading from Schwab into TT Desktop, or Online? ... because I just tried Desktop again and it didn't work. It tells me 'success', but no data comes in.   EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED, PERHAPS. If you're using Brave, with Desktop TT, you need to disable 'Shields' and then download ... it appears to have worked. Someone posted this earlier in this string, I just saw it and tried it.    

New tax laws let you deduct up to $10,000 of interest paid on loans for new vehicles you bought between 2025 and 2028.   You can deduct the full $10,000 if your income is under $100,000 (or $200,000 if Married Filing Jointly). If your income is higher, the amount you can deduct is less.   In TurboTax Online, the vehicle loan interest deduction is computed on IRS Schedule 1-A Part IV lines 22 through 30.   You may view the computation on IRS Schedule 1-A.   Information about the What is the vehicle loan interest deduction? may be found at this TurboTax Help.   In TurboTax Online, the vehicle loan interest deduction may be found as follows:   Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
