My wife worked a summer internship that required her to live away from home, in the same state, through the week and some weekends. She paid a small amount for rent and also paid for all meals through the week(s). She was paid a stipend for the internship on a 1099-NEC. Can any of her rent, food or travel expenses be deducted?

You won't see anything related to your capital gains/losses on your California tax return unless there is a difference between your California and federal capital gains and losses.  The starting point for calculating personal income tax on a California tax return is generally the Federal Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), which includes capital gains and allowed losses.  California Schedule D (540), California Capital Gain or Loss Adjustment is filed only if there is a difference between your California and federal capital gains and losses.  So if your loss is not being added back as an adjustment to your income on your California return then the loss is included due to it being reflected in your federal AGI.

To enter or edit your Schedule K-1 in TurboTax Online after the federal review:   1. Use the search box at the top of the TurboTax Online screen. 2. Type Schedule K-1 and select the relevant link from the search results. 3. This will take you directly to the Schedule K-1 entry area. This method bypasses menu navigation and lets you go straight to the K-1 section to make edits or entries.  
You will‌ still enter the original amount and indicate in the 1099-SA section that you will withdraw the amount in 2026 before the deadline (including extensions).
For 2025 and 2024, but not for the earlier editions.  They are on Windows 10.

In general, unless you intended to abandon your New York residency and established actual domicile out of the country, your absence for such a short period would most likely be considered temporary so you may want to file the full year New York resident form- since you did not have income while you were out of the country, there is no impact on your actual state income tax.   In general, your domicile is your permanent and primary residence that you intend to return to or remain in after being away (for example, on vacation, business assignments, educational leave, or military assignment).    Residence means a place of abode. An individual may have several residences—for example, houses, apartments, condos, and other places to live or physical dwellings in which they reside—and some may be in different states. However, while you may have multiple residences, you can only have one domicile. An individual may live in a certain residence for a temporary period of time, which could be an extended period of time, but if it’s not the place they ultimately attach themselves to and intend to return to, it’s still not their domicile.   Furthermore, your New York domicile does not change until you can demonstrate with clear and convincing evidence that you have abandoned your New York domicile and established a new domicile outside New York State. This means shifting the focus of your life to the new location. It is not enough simply to file a certificate of domicile or register to vote in the new location. All aspects of a person’s life are considered in determining whether a person’s domicile has changed.  What is my domicile?
I nearly completed my tax return and need to return to the Federal Deductions area but cannot go back.  How can I return to the beginning to revise it before completing and filing?

I am a MI resident and have some rental income from foreign country (S. Korea) that I report in my federal return filing i.e. it's reflected in the federal AGI. When Turbotax goes through my State tax return, one of the questions is asking if you had any business income or rental/royalties income that was from out of state. I believe this is referring to the MI Schedule 1 Line 13 item "Income Attributable to Another State". I was wondering if rental income from outside of the U.S. counts as rental income attributable to another state?

I need to file an amended return after finding that I hadn't added Form 2210 (Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals, Estates, and Trusts) In my original filing, 1040 line 38 had a non-zero estimated tax penalty, and line 35a (the amount of tax I wanted refunded) was the amount I had overpaid, reduced by the tax penalty In my amended filing, line 38 is $0, and line 35a is the same as the overpaid amount, which is what I want. But the "Federal refund" amount shown is $0, and turbotax indicates that nothing has changed. How do I get turbotax to realize that a change in line 35a is a change from the original filing?

Glad you figured it out.  The premium was entered twice.  I’ll have to check a return I’m working on.   I don’t remember that screen.

No. The Federal Section 179 expensing rules generally do not apply to rental property because it is considered a passive investment, rather than an active trade or business.   The $25,000 deduction cap generally applies to equipment used in an active trade or business, not residential rental property.   If you claim Section 179 deductions on your Federal return for your rental property, you will usually be required to make an adjustment to add back that amount on your DC return.   As an alternative, for items that do not qualify for Section 179, rental property owners can consider the De Minimis Safe Harbor, which allows them to immediately deduct, or expense, items that cost $2,500 or less per item. You may also qualify for the Safe Harbor for Small Taxpayers for larger building repairs or improvements.
You should contact TurboTax regarding this charge.
