Upon the death of the decedent, responsibility to distributed the decedent's RMD for the year shifted to the the beneficiaries.  On the decedent's tax return, do not include as a required amount any portion that shifted to beneficiaries.   With the entire balance having been distributed to beneficiaries, the year-of-death RMD has been satisfied.  All that matters on the beneficiaries' tax returns is that Form 5329 Part IX is not populated.  That can be done by either indicating that no RMD was required (even though it was),  or by indicating that the required amount was some portion of amount that was actually distributed.

I saw this on a different thread.  “If you itemized your deductions, the excess property taxes would be the taxes not allowable for itemized deductions because of limits applied on the deduction of state taxes. On Form 8829, your property taxes are entered on line 17 only if you take the standard deduction. If you itemize your deductions, the property taxes will show on line 11 for the amount allowable for itemized deductions and the excess on line 17. Either way, all of your property taxes are listed on Form 8829 to be allocated to your home office based on the size of the office to the size of the whole house.” 

My check was a bad check. I deposited it into my account, and the bank called to tell me it wouldn't go through and was sent back to them. I called TurboTax, and they're giving me the run around, but they did confirm that the check number wasn't the same as what they have. However, when I tried talking to Cross River Bank, they told me I have the wrong department and transferred me back to TurboTax.

The best way to fix this signature mismatch is to go back to your Personal Information section of TurboTax and re-enter your name. It should be entered exactly how it appears on your Social Security card to avoid any more future delays. Make sure there are no extra spaces, or special characters.   You can also try logging out of your program and  clear your cache and cookies.  ‌Please click here for instructions on how to clear your cache.

Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund   If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...

I did receive a social security lump sum payment in 2025 for 2024.  I followed all the directions you gave for entering the information in Turbo Tax.  However, Turbo Tax will not accept the number I entered for taxable social security in 2024, line 6B on 1040 form. Turbo Tax says something about the number can't be more than 85% of something...  Back in 2024, Turbo Tax calculated that very number.  Please help me understand.
