@btrutt    A question I would have for you...is exactly how did you "import" it?   1)  Was it directly from the W-2 provider? or 2) did you upload a picture or load a PDF file of that W-2? _________________________ #1 only has rare problems, mostly in the formatting of the file the provider of the W-2 creates. #2 Can have some major issues, because an A.I . must "Interpret" what it sees, and it is critical that you EDIT any form you upload using method #2 to make sure everything was entered in the proper boxes   I always recommend manual entry instead of #2.

Depende, si el ingreso de spark drive es tu único ingreso durante el año, necesitas presentar una declaración de impuestos si tus ingresos netos (ingresos menos gastos), son $400 o más.  Si es tu único ingreso y no es $400 o mas, no necesitas presentar una declaración.    Si además de el ingreso de spark drive, tuviste otros ingresos y tienes que declarar tus impuestos, entonces necesitaras agregar el ingreso de spark drive aun si es menos de $400.     ¿Tengo que presentar una declaración federal este año?   Si tienes que presentar una declaracion, el ingreso de spark drive, contara como auto empleo.  Ve el siguiente articulo de ayuda de TurboTax para mas informacion de como reportarlo.     ¿Dónde ingreso mis gastos comerciales de trabajo por cuenta propia, como el uso comercial del hogar, el millaje del vehículo y los insumos?

I have the desktop version and have the same problem.   I followed all of the prompts, and it is still trying to calculate taxes on the qualified distributions.  Doesn't even ask for the tuition expenses.  Only asks for book expenses.  Something seems wrong with the software.  

Form 1099-SA reports the distributions you received from your HSA. When you enter the information from this form into TurboTax, you should also see questions about how you used the funds or what medical expenses were paid. If you have expenses equal to or greater than the distribution amount, you will not be taxed on these funds.   For more information, see What is a health savings account (HSA)?

Yes, if you are claiming Residential Energy Credits, then Form 5695 will be included as part of your return.     The credit that you are claiming will be included on Form 1040 Schedule 3 line 5a, 5b.     If you are not eligible to claim the energy credit on the current year return but it is being carried forward, then there will not be an amount shown on Form 1040 Schedule # line 5.  Instead it will be reported on Form 5695, which would be filed as part of your return.   Try going back through the home energy credit section of your return and pay close attention to any messages onscreen that may explain why the credit is not being included with your return.  

It depends.  The withdrawal for Domestic Violence must have occurred withing one year of the last incidence of domestic violence.     Example.  You stopped living with your spouse March 3, 2024 and on that day is the last day they abused you.  Your withdrawal in 2025 would have had to been prior to March 3, 2025 for it to count for the DV exception.     The exception is limited to 50% of your retirement balance or a maximum of $10,000. 

The software should be updated after 02/13/26, but our tech team is working hard to have those updates before that date.    Here, you can sign up for an e-mail to stay current on the updates: Sign up for email notification

The reason you aren't receiving a credit that will entirely offset the PA tax is that PA and Delaware have different tax rates. You'll only receive a credit up to the amount of tax you would have paid PA on that same income. Pennsylvania has a flat tax rate of 3.07%. Delaware, however, has a graduated tax rate that goes up to 6.6%.   It is also possible that the tax base is different between the two states.  For example, Pennsylvania taxes 401(k) contributions and Delaware does not.

We're expecting an update to ‌Form 4562 by February 11. If everything else entered is similar to previous years, and you think the issue could be tied to ‌depreciation, can you wait for the update? You can sign up at the link below to receive an email notification once it's available.
