Thanks Marilyn. I figured out why the Rental Activity was being labeled Nonpassive for Sch E. I marked the activity as Land instead of Commercial Rental Property. When I changed the activity coding, Turbotax made it passive and it flowed to the 8582 as passive income and offset passive losses against it, which is what I was expecting. I'm all set.

The only way to get around your issue, if you so chose would be file your federal return as is.  Save it.  Then call it up and save it as MASS filing, and change the sales to business inventory sales vs. securities.  I do not condone it, Mass instructions do NOT support this.  You can then e-file the state return as a business Schedule C income/losses and know you have 2 different files, one just for state.

@markmatty    There are hundreds or even thousands of bank/CU institutions that do not provide a downloadable 1099-INT form for their customers.   Look lower on the page where you would normally make the selection...to "Enter Another Way"...or "Type it in myself".   Possibly both selections on subsequent pages.  Don't try  to upload a picture or PDF of that form...too many computer AI mistakes cause complications....Just Type it in...yourself.

This app was one of the reasons I used TurboTax over the other companies.   I never got a notification about this. And it wasn't until I went to access it for this year that I noticed it was gone. And now I can't access past forms? That's how I make sure to include everything every year.  Lesson learned not to go fully digital and paper is still our friend.   Anyone have success in getting their old data?

Yes, CT allows 529 contributions as a deduction. Open to your Connecticut state return. Continue through the interview until you reach a screen titled "Here's the income that Connecticut handles differently" (or a similar variation). Locate the Education Section Select CHET Contributions. Start/ edit  Yes, contribution enter amount when box appears no larger than allowed for your filing status. The limits for the 2025/2026 tax years are: $5,000 for single filers, head of household, or married filing separately. $10,000 for married couples filing jointly.   Note on Carryovers: If you contributed more than the annual limit, Connecticut allows you to carry forward the excess amount for the next five taxable years. TurboTax should help you track this if you used the software in previous years.
