Yes, you can bundle your 2025 expenses into 'start-up costs' and report when you also have some 2026 income .  Here's more info on Business Start Up Costs.  For current year 2026 regular expenses, consider Business Mileage and Home Office.    @TuckerdogAVL 

All of the expenses on line 48 are going to subtract from your self employment earnings.  And line 48 gathers a multitude of expenses.  Does the amount that was entered match an amount that you entered for anything?  Or is it a bunch of things that you entered that have all joined together?   You should go back through the expenses that you have entered as a review to see what is there.  When you come to the end and are ready for filing the return you will be able to view the complete list of what is on line 48 and is being sent to the IRS BEFORE you file the return.  You should make certain that everything that is on that list is correct and ready to go.

@JulieG18 how much is the capital gains and any dividends / interest.  The kiddie tax doesn't kick in until the total income exceeds $15,750 AND the unearned income exceeds $2700 (and she only pays at her marginal tax rate, presumably zero, on the first $1350)   what is the GROSS PROCEEDS of the stock sales?    it is possible she has a filing requirement (if the gross proceeds exceed $15,750), but she may not owe anything (if the unearned income is below $1350). 

All   I hit that same problem this afternoon on my recently updated Windows Premier software.  Opening several different test files showed the same snag and Revisit pop-up problem when trying to open a 1099-R form.   I shut down TTX and when restarting, I noticed in the "Edit" menu, I was no longer Signed In.  I signed in there and the snag problem went away.

And on the HSA summary page, it shows $150 deduction for me (???) and 2300 for my wife (when I was able to add the additional contributions). Total distributions shows 7426 for me and 0 for my wife, as expected. Tax free company contributions shows 6100 for me and 0 for my wife. All other values are 0.

@querti132679 it is not clear whether you moved to PA permanently or simply this was a summer job "while a student".  it makes a difference.    if you moved to PA permanently, then you'd file both a NC part year and PA part year tax return.   However, if this was a temporary summer job and your domicle did not change, then you'd file a PA non-resident tax return and a NC resident tax return.  Only the money earned in PA would be reported there, while all your earning, regardless of state would be reported to NC and then you'd get a tax credit for taxes paid to another state.     

You can just skip the screen that asks for drivers license information.   The IRS does not require you to enter a DL in order to e-file, and since you do not have a FL return to file, your FL drivers license will not prevent you from e-filing your return.

Sorry I'm still confused.   So TT is requesting the following:   Schedule D, line 7 Schedule D, line 15 OR Qual Div/ Cap Gain Tax wksht ln 3   (I entered this amount XXXX) Schedule D, line 18 Schedule D, line 19 Form 4952, line 4g   I did enter the amount from line 3 on the worksheet, but I don't have Schedule D or form 4952.   I'm assuming they werent generated since we only had the one source of capital gains.   So do I leave the schedule D responses blank or enter zero?
