Talked to TT. Here's the reason, I'm not able to view the 2210. Even though TT calculated a penalty, TT will not create a 2210 for printing/viewing because the Fed does not require the form unless I annualize my income, I've had a filing status change, or a couple of other reasons. I feel that they should provide the calculation for the penalty even though the Fed doesn't require it. They committed to report this as a defect/enhancement.

If you sold the vehicle you were using in your business in 2024, the sale should have been reported on your 2024 tax return. You can amend your 2024 return to resolve the issue, as you may have realized a taxable gain or deductible loss.   To report the sale of a Schedule C business vehicle in TurboTax, navigate to the Business Vehicle Expense section under your business income, edit the vehicle, and indicate it was sold, traded, or disposed of. You will need to report the sale date, sales price, original cost, and total depreciation taken over the life of the vehicle to calculate any gain or loss.    The sale of your business vehicle is reported on Form 4797 Sales of Business Property which would then flow to Schedule D Capital Gains and Losses.   Review your Schedule C Business entries in TurboTax.   You should have set up the vehicle as an asset when you set up your business.  If you didn't, you'll have to do that before you can "sell" the vehicle in TurboTax. To get to that section of TurboTax: Open or continue your return Search for schedule c and select the Jump to link in the search results Edit the vehicle. When you get to the Tell Us More About This Asset/Large Purchase screen, select The item was sold, retired, stolen, destroyed, disposed of, converted to personal use, traded in, or given away (or it's no longer being used in this business for some other reason). Continue with the onscreen interview until complete.   

You’ll see your refund or taxes by clicking the Federal Review section of TurboTax Online. This usually causes the refund and tax meters to appear in the top left corner of your screen. Another option: select Tax Tools near the bottom of the left-hand menu. Select Tools. Click View Tax Summary from the pop-up window to see a breakdown of your current federal and state totals. Keep in mind that Turbo Tax shows your totals only after you've added all your income, deductions, and credits. This keeps things simple and accurate, instead of updating them along the way.
