The Washington capital gains tax is considered an excise tax and therefore is not deductible on your federal return.   The excise tax cannot be deducted from federal ordinary income because the levy does not fit within any of the types of state or local taxes nor does it reduce capital gains.  Anderson and other consultants may allude to the idea that it does reduce capital gains but this is not embedded in the IRS Tax code.   Another community discussion regarding the excise tax can be found here.  

@marygraham500    yeah... a lot really depends on what the $ amounts actually are. A value of $20 for a Territory, would save you $1 in state taxes...if you are being taxed at 5% by your state. And also, if your state taxable income is already reduced to zero by other stuff, then even that doesn't help. _____________ One subtle, but critical error some folks are making for the box 12 $$ on a 1099-DIV.....is for the setting of the first "....only one state" radio button in the picture I showed above.   In order for the second button and subsequent table to take effect, the first "...only one state" button must first be set to "Multiple States".  IF you set that first button to "GA" then all the box 12 $$ are improperly exempted from GA taxes, and the second button table setting  is ignored.   IF you made that mistake, you may actually owe GA some more $$.

Have you already filed your return? If you have not, then you can go back to the HSA interview and proceed to the screen entitled "Let's enter [name]'s HSA contributions", and add this contribution to the second line as a "personal" contribution, and then file.   Be sure to tell the HSA custodian that this contribution is for 2025, because otherwise their default is to credit it to 2026.   If you have already filed so need to amend your return, please see this TurboTax FAQ "How do I amend my federal tax return for this year?"

Si.  No es necesario poner su info del ID.  Solo deje esas celulas en blanco y continue a finalizar su declaracion.   Unos estados si requieren ID para presentar la declaracion estatal, pero TurboTax le avisara si su estado lo quiere o no.  En ese caso puede presentar la declaracion Federal electronicamente y la estatal por correo.

Safe Harbor Limit: The total amount paid for repairs, maintenance, and improvements during the year must not exceed the lesser of: 2% of the building’s unadjusted basis, OR $10,000. The "All-In" Rule: You are correct that this limit is cumulative. You must add up all repairs and maintenance items on your Schedule E for that specific house. If the total exceeds the limit, the entire amount for that project usually must be capitalized, unless you can prove the underlayment is a "repair" rather than an "improvement."   Repair or improvement: The IRS looks at Betterment, Restoration, and Adaptation to determine if improvement. Restoration is replacing a major component and must be capitalized. While reusing the tiles is great, the underlayment on the roof is considered a restoration of the primary water barrier. As such, it is categorized as residential real estate and depreciated over 27.5 years unless it qualifies for the safe harbor election.   Reference: IRS Pub 527, particularly page 7.
