Follow these steps:   On the left-hand-side, Hover over Deductions and Credits and click on Deductions and credits summary. Go to HSA, MSA Contributions section and click "revisit" You will first be asked about HSA distributions (1099-SA), go through those questions and once done with that, click continue. Next you will be asked about HSA contributions, enter your HSA contributions shown on your W2 and on the other field, enter contributions made outside of your W2. Answer whether or not you were covered by a High Deductible health plan (HDHP). Next, check the box to any of the situations that apply to you. The next screen will ask if your HSA plan was a "self-only" plan or a "Family" plan.  Answer accordingly. Continue to work through the screens to finish entering your HSA contributions for the year.

Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), which established the federal "No Tax on Overtime" deduction starting in the 2025 tax year, there is a strict eligibility requirement: if you are married, you must file a joint return to claim the deduction.   To qualify for the overtime deduction, you must meet these requirements:  You must be a non-exempt employee who is eligible for overtime under federal law (FLSA).  Your filing status cannot be Married Filing Separately.  Your modified adjusted gross income must be below $150,000 or less ($300,000 for joint filers) to be eligible for the maximum deduction, If your income is over $150,000 ($300,000 for joint filers), then the deduction begins to reduce by $100 for each $1,000 of MAGI over the applicable threshold amount. Once your MAGI hits $275,000 ($550,000 for joint filers), the overtime deduction is not available. The pay must be for hours worked over 40 in a single workweek, and only the overtime premium (the extra "half" in time-and-a-half pay) is qualified for the deduction.  Here is an article you may find helpful: No Tax on Overtime Explained: Qualified Overtime Deduction Rules for 2025

If you had any capital gains (from stocks, mutual funds, or capital gain distributions on a 1099-DIV), your loss is automatically applied to those gains first. Only the net loss after this calculation appears on Line 7.

Who is the issuer?   1099-NEC are generally for self-employment income only.   Is it a 1099-MISC, maybe?      The first screen asks what type of income the 1099-NEC is for.   The Hobby option will report the income as Other income instead of business income, but you will need to delete the Schedule that was already erroneously started.    Enter 1099-NEC

You can import your 2024 .tax file into the 2025 software. Follow these instructions to get started.    How do I find my tax data file (.tax file) on my Windows computer?
That is helpful in terms of the depreciation recapture. Do i still need to prorate the gain in terms of its eligibility for the exclusion? I meet all of the tests.

You generally do not need to enter Health Care FSA information in TurboTax, as your W-2 (Box 1) already reflects reduced taxable wages.   Make sure that your W-2 is entered correctly. Health Care FSA contributions (usually labeled with Code W in Box 12) are not reported elsewhere.   If this is for daycare, it goes in Box 10 of your W-2 and is finalized in the Child and Dependent Care Credit section of TurboTax.   Some employers list FSA deductions in Box 14 of Form W-2. No additional entry is usually needed in the deductions section.   Unlike contributions that are made to an HSA there is not a reporting requirement for FSAs on your tax return.   To get back to your TurboTax screens to delete any incorrect HSA information you can:   Click on Search at the top right of your TurboTax screen Type HSA in the search box Click on the link that says Jump to HSA Make sure these questions are answered correctly. Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.

That worked wonders!   Box 7 on the original K-1 filing page had a zero in it.  I did not see the option of a Box 13.  I removed the Zero from Box 7 and then went back through it all.  That did the trick.  Thank you so much for the answer and your timeliness!
