I got married and supported myself for half the year do I choose "I supported myself?"

First, be sure that your impact windows qualify for the credit.  In order to claim the credit, you will need what is known as a QMID code for the manufacturer of your windows.  Those that are Energy Star Most Efficient certified impact windows can qualify you for 30% of the cost of the windows up to a maximum of $600.   If your windows qualify for the credit, you will need to file Form 5695 with your return, which is not included with the Basic edition of TurboTax.  You would need to upgrade to the Deluxe version in order to file this form on your return.

If you reported a 1099-R distribution for 2025, check your entries to the follow-up questions that ask about a prior year disaster distribution.  A 'yes' answer to any of these questions would generate a Form 8915.    If your entries are correct for these questions, you can delete Form 8915 from your return.  If using TurboTax Online, clear your Cache and Cookies afterwards.   @ejckjcook

Enter your investment transactions in the Step-by-Step interview, not in forms mode. Entering investment sales in forms mode is very complicated and error-prone.

Dear Experts, I would appreciate guidance on a depreciation reporting issue. My wife and I rented out our primary residence for about 2.5 months in 2024 while we moved to a rental house in another state due to job. While preparing our 2024 tax return, a calculation error occurred in the depreciation entry: the entire purchase price was used for depreciation instead of the building value only. The asset was depreciated using the 27.5-year straight-line method, but the incorrect basis resulted in over-depreciation and a lower AGI for 2024. We discovered this error before filing our 2025 return and intend to correct the depreciation going forward. Separately, our financial situation has changed and we are now planning to sell the house in 2026. The total depreciation involved (incorrect 2024 + correct 2025) will still be under $50,000. We also understand that depreciation recapture is taxed at ordinary income rates (up to 25%), and our tax bracket in 2026 is expected to be lower. Given this situation, we are considering the following options: Option 1 – Staggered filing File an amended 2024 return (Form 1040-X) to correct the depreciation and AGI Request an extension for the 2025 return File the 2025 return after the 2024 amendment is processed (hopefully before Oct 15) Option 2 – Simultaneous filing File the 2024 amendment and the 2025 return at the same time, both reflecting the corrected depreciation Option 3 – Correct going forward Do not amend the 2024 return File the 2025 return with the correct depreciation Track depreciation claimed for 2024 (partial year), 2025 (full year), and 2026 (partial year) When selling in 2026, report depreciation recapture based on the total depreciation claimed My main questions: Is Option 3 acceptable, or would the IRS expect the 2024 return to be amended due to the over-depreciation? If we do not amend 2024, are there penalties or compliance risks associated with the excess depreciation taken that year? Between Options 1 and 2, is there any practical advantage or IRS preference? One complication is that correcting 2024 depreciation will increase AGI, potentially pushing us into a higher tax bracket for both 2024 and 2025, while our tax rate is expected to be lower in 2026 due to a change in income. Any guidance on the correct IRS approach and risk considerations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.

I've found the phone support to be VERY unhelpful. In my case, my three calls were a waste of a lot of time, as was my experience with the Chat function. The only help that has been worth the time is this online blog. Intuit experts do occasionally log on and address questions and other users often are able to help solve problems. Hang up the phone and save yourself a lot of aggravation.
I saw the message about restarting the software and it fixed it for me as well. I am using a Mac.

If you're using TurboTax Desktop and click on the icon for the 2024 program, what happens?  Try right-clicking the icon and 'Run as Administrator'.  Also try going to Windows Control Panel > Programs > TurboTax > Repair.  However, you may need to uninstall/re-install TurboTax since you made changes to your computer setup.  If you can share more details, we'll try to help.   If you used TurboTax Online, when you Sign In, scroll down to 'Tax Returns and Docs', then click on your 2024 return.  There's an option to the right to 'Amend'.   Here's more info on How to Amend Your Tax Return.    @ConnerJH12

I have the same situation as the original poster. With TT Premier, I get the following screen after step 12 of your instructions:   Do any of these apply to you?     I need to file a substitute 1099-R     The corrected box is checked on this 1099-R     None of these apply If I check "None of these apply" it ends the session. I never get to steps 13 and 14 of your instructions. Is this supposed to be, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks.
