Replaced my heat pump and noted along with the correct QMID - my federal return was rejected and received these errors - what does this mean?    I have double checked all entries on form 5695 and initially I think had a 0 in the wrong box - I received this suggested fix - why would I need to wait until February 13, 2026?   Let's take a look at your return Description of error: If Form 5695, [ 'CostAmt' in 'MostExpnsElecGasHtPumpGrp' from 'HtPumpWtrHeaterBmssStoveBlrGrp' from 'EgyEffcntHmImprvCrGrp' ] has a non-zero value, then [ 'QMID' in 'MostExpnsElecGasHtPumpGrp' from 'HtPumpWtrHeaterBmssStoveBlrGrp' from 'EgyEffcntHmImprvCrGrp' ] must be present unless a binary attachment or [GeneralDependencySmall] with description beginning with "Substantiate QMID" is present in the return. What needs to be done: This return cannot be filed at this time due to a processing error that will be corrected on February 13, 2026. On or after this date please log back into the product and get the latest updates (TurboTax Online does this automatically). Then revisit the Federal return, run through review and re-transmit the return. If the reject continues, you may want to file this return via U.S. Mail: print and mail it to the appropriate taxing authority.

I make estimated state income tax payments during the year as my pension does not make state income tax payments. Been through the state section numerous times, can't find it. Turbotax had a "enter estimated tax payments made" section last year. Without it state won't work for me.

Getting this error on all my assets:   Form 4562 Depreciation Options - Asset Entry Worksheet (Asset Name): Qualified Prop 100% & 50% should be blank. This asset is not qualified property for the special depreciation allowance.   All these assets are carried forward from my 2024 tax return

i inherited my mothers apartment overseas in 2023 with my brother. we are selling it this year and splitting the proceeds. i know this will be worked on 2027 taxes but trying to get ahead of things. i will receive my split of proceeds which is over $100K which will be deposited into my foreign bank account and then i will transfer it to my US bank account. i know i will have to file different forms but my main question is if  the step up basis is calculated as half since i am splitting with my sibling same as the proceeds (my half) for the calculation of the capital gains? also we are paying fees for the sale to the real estate agency overseas, can i include that to up the step up basis reducing my portion of profit for the capital gains calculation? also can you confirm what all forms will be needed? i have done research but want to confirm i am not missing anything. thank you
