you deprecated (took a tax deduction)  themn for business. so they are subject to depreciation recapture. the issue you'll face when you sell your home is allocating a portion of the selling price to these items. 

There is no such thing as a "family" HSA.  HSA's are owned by one single individual only, no matter what kind of coverage you have.     There is no such thing as a "single" or "family" HSA, an HSA is just a bank account.  The contribution limit is controlled by the kind of insurance you have, but there is only one kind of HSA.   If you (spouse A) were covered by a family HDHP up until October 1 and you are over age 55, your maximum contribution for 2025 is $7125 from the family HDHP limit plus $833 from your catchup provision.  (10/12ths of the annual limit).   Your spouse (spouse B) can open an HSA in their name right now, no need to wait for 2026.  If your spouse is covered by a family HDHP for the whole year, and no other disqualifying coverage, they can contribute up to $8550, plus $1000 personal catchup if they are also 55 or older.  Their contribution under the family limit is reduced by your contribution under the family limit, but their catch-up is not affected.  That means that if you already contributed $7125 under the family limit, your spouse can contribute $1425 under the family limit plus $1000 catch up.   For 2026, if your spouse is still covered by a family HDHP, as you indicate, then your spouse can contribute $8750 plus $1000 catch-up (if 55 or older).  If your spouse changes their coverage to single only, they can contribute up to $4400 plus $1000 if 55 or older.

To complete and file a 2022 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2022 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/   A 2022 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.

Check the official supplemental tax info letter from the investment company which contains these %s that's the official source for filing; I don't think you get quarterly breakdown but they should tell you whether it meets the threshold.  e.g. Vanguard has a footnote "* This fund meets the threshold requirements for California, Connecticut, and New York, which require that 50% of the fund’s assets at each quarter-end within the tax year consist of U.S. government obligations."   If you're a high state tax you would ideally want to be in a MM fund with highest possible US Gov obligations that invest directly in Treasuries rather than repo market etc, E.g. Vanguard's VUSXX (100%) instead of VMFXX (60%); Fidelity's FDLXX (97%) instead of SPAXX (55%).  (2024 %s).  Firms like Vanguard or Fidelity use lower US Gov % funds as default for cash management so you have to explicitly buy into these other funds.   https://investor.vanguard.com/content/dam/retail/publicsite/en/documents/taxes/USGO_012025.pdf

States with no state income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming and New Hampshire.    NH previously had a tax on interest and dividend (I&D) income, but this tax was fully repealed effective January 1, 2025. Therefore, for the 2025 tax year and beyond, New Hampshire residents will not pay state taxes on income from wages, interest, or dividends. 

2023 could only have been e-filed on or before October 15, 2024----did you check last year to see if the return had been accepted?     DID YOU E-FILE?   Did you e-file?   Did you go through all three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”     When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.   Check your e-file status:   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/    What does it say in your account?  Does it show that the return was accepted?   Or does it say something else---like "rejected," "printed," or "ready to mail?”     Does the IRS show a transcript of a 2023 return that you filed? https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript   If you discover or realize that your e-file was rejected, you will need to print it, sign and date it in ink, and file it by mail now, since e-filing is closed for returns for tax year 2023.      

E-filing is now permanently closed for 2024 returns.  You will need to print, sign and mail your return.   When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

>For New York State you will not be able to claim those unless the your fund holds at least 50% of it's holdings in US Govt Securities. Some states only allow exemptions on dividends for those funds holding a minimum percentage, usually 50%, of government securities at the end of each quarter.   Is the percentage of US Govt Holdings in the fund the same as the percentage published  under the description   "Percentage of ordinary dividends from U.S. government obligations" Is the percentage  that US Govt Holdings  comprise  of the entire fund at the end of each quarter a number that's even published by mutual funds? thanks
