Can anyone confirm if premiums for a LTC policy I have is deductible?  It's not employer paid and I am self-employed, but have had this policy for years from a prior employer purchase option.  The prior employer has never contributed to the premiums and I kept the policy when I left their employ. Anyone?

Nine states — Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming — have no state income taxes. If your state has no state income tax, it is not in the drop down menu of Box 15 of form W-2. Just leave boxes 15, 16 & 17 Blank, no spaces.
Is there an entry in boxes 15 or 16, but not in box 14? If there is no entry in box 14, then delete whatever is in 15 and 16.
Leave this interview.   Where are you trying to enter this? In the 1099-R interview, or the 1099-INT interview?
Turbo Tax is not letting me edit my dependents section for State and will only allow federal to be edited.

Are you referring to the Georgia Retirement Income Exclusion?   Generally, when you enter dividends, interest, and pension, you indicate on the federal return which taxpayer the item belonged to, so there is no need to ask to which taxpayer these items belonged. Some capital gains may not be so easily identified.   Or are you asking something else?
We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question?
the turbo tax question has nothing to do with the CD interest. Do I skip the question?
state estimated tax payments are also provided in the federal section

this only works if you already filed those taxes, what if you haven't filed? is there a way to recover old 1098's from a mortgage company that is no longer in business, and you don't know  who took over because you paid off the loan about the same time via a refinance?
Can't e-file because won't except my Credit Card for payment for processing fee's. I do not want it taken out of my Federal Return.

Dear Sirs: I made a grievous error in my 2024 return that I only noticed as I was preparing my 2025 return (TT 2025 desktop edition).  I finished my 2025 return, efiled it and it was accepted by both federal and state (9 April 2026).  The 2024 return was prepared on TT 2024 desktop edition, it was efiled before 15 April 2025.  It was accepted by both feds and state.     I know I must file a 1040X to amend the 2024 return.  Since I efiled in April of 2025, my computer was changed out (I removed the hard drive), so I could upgrade from MS Windows 10 to 11 (required for TT 2025 desktop edition).  So now TurboTax 2024 desktop edition is NOT installed on my new computer.   What should I do?  I still have the TT 2024 desktop edition product folder with its unique license code (used to download the TT 2024 desktop edition pro0gram in Spring of 2025).  Can I download the TT 2024 desktop edition program software AGAIN to amend the 2024 return?   Thanx, Moi

You can:  have a direct debit from your banking - fill in the information while on the FILE tab or pay the IRS - see Payments but  mark that you will mail a check to get the program to move on. It isn't a tax return question.
