@cfisher-sifadis , while it is not unusual to divide the income/gains/losses  equally between the joint owners if they file MFS, it could create an issue if the tax information documents like 1099-B etc. are issued in both names but ONLE ONE SSN is used.  Because the IRS  income match program ( AURS) will  see a mismatch and therefore issue a CP-2000.  All you have to do is respond to the  notice and explain that the income was recognized  50% by each MFS filer-- included copies of the relevant supporting documents.  That should settle the issue.   Is there more I can do for you ?

I do not have any expenses. Just making extra money as side gig. When I did my SE taxes, I do it as estimated taxes through irs (federal) and state taxation (state) to pay for SE taxes. I know at this point for 1099-k, still not ready to file yet since it says its coming soon

@taradianedavis , if you are going to prepare the return yourself, then my personal choice would be to use  Windows desktop version of  TurboTax  " Home  & Business" --- it has all the forms and interview questions  for the most complex situations.  Personally I like download versions because all the data stays on my local machine and  if amended return is needed, I can use the software  ( e.g. 2025 return in calendar year 2028 if need be ) without asking for any help from Intuit ( as in case of on-line versions).  IMHO

All your income W2 & 1099 goes on the same tax return.  You will fill out Schedule C for self employment income.  You can enter Schedule C for Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to Premium version. Or use any of the Desktop Download programs.    So you can start entering your SE into Deluxe but if you try to enter expenses it will ask you to upgrade to Premium.     How did you pay the SE tax?  Did you make an estimated payment?    To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January for the prior year, go to Federal on left or at top (or Personal for Home & Business) Deductions and Credits Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid Estimates - click the Start or Update button If you made more than 4 payments - at the bottom is + Add another payment  

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.    https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   Start a 2025 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/27010     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-2021-turbotax-online-return-pdf/L8dHfRkpT_US_en_US?uid=m5y4ch1y   Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery     Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-tax-file-computer/L0XJvPaJr_US_en_US   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/data-systems/find-tax-data-file-mac/L4VNGm33S_US_en_US?uid=m6guhab0   You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf       SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

@Plarka , from your post  "I'm the only employee",  and you are preparing your own "salary statement", I wonder if it is the right thing to do.  Because the form to use  depends on what type of entity you work for.  So please can you tell a little bit about the entity / company you work for  ( e.g. sole proprietor,  S-Corp, partnership, LLC, C-corp. etc. etc.)? If you are using the desktop version of TurboTax , especially higher level like Home & Business, you should already have access to "employee/ contractor forms like W-2, 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC etc.   I will circle back once I hear from you.

Little confused, as of right now just say I started to do w2 form from regular job which is pretty much done, if i have already done with regular w2 from an employer (retail) and do side gig as a hobby just to earn more money, still have to upgrade to premium? For me to be on the safe side, I also did pay self employed taxes and federal (10%) 

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/ Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)   If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

Is this for 2024 or 2025 fees?  If you had the fees deducted from your 2024 return but the IRS hasn't sent your refund yet then Turbo Tax will debit your bank account.  The $40 might have been only the extra Pay with Refund service charge and the $90 is for the actual fees , federal and state.
