@Ceyara1    You enter ONLY the first three characters....not the whole number __________________ FIRST...make sure you are using the right number   ...depending on the license type...check the following pictures provided by NY: Sample Photo Documents | NY DMV _________________ AND, it is not the DMV ID number

The joint filing credit is generally based on earned income or income from earnings. The gaming income is not excluded based on OH Joint Filing Credit.   I recommend you  contact support. I believe the program is excluding the income because it is not earned income - unless your husband is a professional gamer - but then there would be a sch C for the business income - that would pull over.

There are two separate  transactions based on your facts: There is the entity level transaction(s) which is reflected on your K-1.  This information is input into TT as are all other applicable items on the K-1.  Since there is no tax at the partnership level, these items are passed out to the partners and the tax implications are reflected on the form 1040. Then there is the gain / loss at the partner level that needs to be addressed and those are the questions that you are most likely referring to and do not understand.  This is the partners overall gain or loss on the investment in the partnership. As a partner, you should be maintaining a tax basis schedule of your investment in the partnership This begins with your capital investment and is adjusted annually for the applicable items on the K-1. You need to update your tax basis schedule for the applicable items on your final K-1. You then need to input into TT Your proceeds distributed as a result of the "liquidation" of the partnership Your tax basis (cost basis) Any depreciation recapture that might recharacterize what would normally be capital gain into ordinary income.

Awesome and Thanks!...Question though.  TurboTax software is up to date with the Idaho Changes?  It is quite a different change.  Some of the line items in the REVISED Idaho Tax Program are quite different than when I originally filed.  But I guess it is taken from the Federal Forms and a few more questions pertaining to Idaho.   I just want to make sure it is good and I will file the amended Idaho Tax Return.  I guess it is good since TurboTax guarantees its calculations....

"(Please stop me now if I'm making things worse)"   Yes, please STOP ;-).   That would seem to make sense, except that the only ways to fix an excess contribution that is beyond the original due date (or extension, if you extend your return) is to take a distribution with a code of '1' (and pay the 20%) OR use it up in the next year if you still have HDHP coverage and have reduced your regular HSA contributions so that the original excess will fit under the limit as a "personal" contribution (line 2 on form 8889).   In other words, you don't link a 1099-SA with a code of '2' to any particular excess.   So don't make the $3,550 contribution for 2025, because it will just create more excess.   Go ahead and let the $1,450 carryover excess be used up in 2026 as a personal contribution (line 2 form 8889), and be done with it. Yes, you will have been penalized for withdrawing the extra $3,550 for 2025, but that's OK because that is what should have happened. You should have an excess of $1,450 carried over to 2026, but if you have have Family HDHP coverage for 2026 and you can fit the $1,450 under the contribution limit (which you should be able to if your employer sticks with the $5,000/year contribution), then the last excess of $1,450 will be used up, and you will be done with it.

    Editing my previous posts is a bad way to have a discussion, so I'm adding my edit as a reply.   REPLY TO ANSWER ABOVE: First, many thanks for the help! I do enter the 1099-SA that I am provided by the host of my HSA. The Gross Distributions show 7426.26 and the summary shows that number as well. I never see anything about the $500.

This worked for me this year after repeated attempts at transmitting and then searching for a solution to the "Error: 2" problem.  After I ensured the security settings were the default, transmission went through without any problem.

Man, TurboTax can be so frustrating trying to correct something you entered wrong. I spent 45 minutes just now trying to change a Trump account election. In TurboTax online, you have to go to the "File" section and revisit the "Your refund info" section. I tried deleting the form and all that nonsense it didn't work. The search/Help doesn't help, and it says to go to the "File" section without telling you you need to click on the refund info section. I know it's late in the tax year but I hope this helps someone else.

My issue is not with the wages. I am able to fill this adequately. My problem is with answering the various residency questions on the Maryland-NR form. Form 505 asks "Were you a resident of another state for the entire year of 2025?" and my answer to that is Yes. I was a resident of two states for the entire year (VA and TX), and never a resident of Maryland. But Turbotax automatically checks No, and I cannot change it. Form 505 also indicates that if you check No, you should add an explanation; but TT does not let me add an explanation either. I would be happy to do either: check "Yes" or "No" and explain residency in two other states (as the question is ambiguous anyway). Has anybody figured this out? I filled my profile residency questions correctly in TT.

If you are filing as Married Filing Separately you are not eligible for the deduction.  If you are Single and your AGI is over $175,000 or Married Filing Jointly and your AGI is over $250,000 you are not eligible for the deduction.   If you are age 65 or older and meet the requirement, the additional deduction is automatically added on your federal tax return.   Standard deductions for 2025 Single - $15.750 add $2,000 if age 65 or older Married Filing Separately - $15,750 add $1,600 if age 65 or older Married Filing Jointly - $31,500 add $1,600 for each spouse age 65 or older Head of Household - $23,625 add $2,000 if age 65 or older   New Bonus Standard Deduction (OBBB): An additional $6,000 deduction for taxpayers 65 and older. This is per eligible individual, meaning a married couple both over 65 could get $12,000. Important: This bonus deduction is temporary, lasting from 2025 through 2028. Income limitations: It phases out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers. The amount is calculated on Schedule 1-A, Part V, with that amount flowing to Form 1040 Line 13b Look at your Form 1040 - You can view your Form 1040 plus Schedules 1, 2 and 3 at any time using the online editions.
