@btunney33    AND...EDIT your question to Remove those email addresses.   This is a Public Forum that all the scammers and criminals in the world can see too.   Because you have now published your emails to the world...Be careful if  you get any emails that "claim" they are from TTX.  Don't click on any links they may contain as they may be Scams.

My 1099 Misc includes quite a bit of prepaid rent that is being held by our property manager, this doesn't seem correct as I was not in constructive receipt of the funds - our property manager has a policy not to pay out prepaid rent until it is due to avoid having to try and claw it back should someone move. I have asked them to issue a revised 1099 Misc, so far they have refused and claim that their CPA says what they are doing is correct. What to do?

My employer followed the guidance for box 7 "tips that the employee reported to you".  the tips they didn't include in 7 but did include in 1, 3, and 5 were tips for me that they collected in their client billing and informed me of not vice versa so that's why they put them were they did.  all of these tips qualify for the deduction but so far anyway the software only accepts 7.  I have advanced past the W-2 section and checked what deductions they gave me.  This will be a big error in a transition year before the new W-2 comes out while employers are not required to account for qualified tips.  My employer did in the 14 notes but I can't get TurboTax to accept that number.  Many employees will want to add or subtract from 7.  

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE IRS/STATE     TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-audit/turbotax-audit-support/L6AcMoNFD_US_en_US?uid=m5z7by9u     https://intuit.taxaudit.com/audit-defense/help/contact     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/internal-revenue-service/got-cp2000-notice-irs/L7Da6em2t_US_en_US?uid=m4of6ngd  

How were you contacted?  Did you receive a notice from the state?  If so, there should have instructions on who to contact if you had question or how to proceed if you disagreed.   This may be a scam.

Q. So even though the Indiana local county tax was not paid in 2025, I can claim the Michigan credit since it is going to be paid with my 2025 Indiana state tax return?  A. Yes, since the county tax paid was for tax tear 2025.  What you can't do is claim that payment on your 2025 federal itemized deductions.  You'll have to wait to  when you file  2026 federal return, if you do itemize.  Q. How do I add the Indiana return to my Michigan return? A. You will have to mail your  Michigan return. 

i.e.......ignore the "Finish Line". Only you know if you have sources of income that you have not entered yet.   If you have retirement income, or any other income type you have not entered yet....then,,..,Do Not file until you've entered it all.   Yes, not all areas of the tax software are ready for entry of $$ yet.  Wait until you have ALL your tax forms from the various issuers they come form every year....then in early-to-mid February, make sure all your income $$ are entered.   Then run thru the Deductions&Credits area to make sure you've covered everything that might reduce your taxable income.   THEN go thru the error checks & State sections before filing.   Do Not file before mid-February  (First of March is safer)

Nope that doesn't work.  Saving it anywhere on the C drive generates that error.  Strangely, saving it to a F drive that's a backup disk does not.   Yes, I can open the file by double clicking on the original file from last week.  That doesn't solve the problem with saving changes.
