Thanks for your response. I already paid all and filed tax return. Everything is complete. However, I only see a download link to the PDF which doesn't include full information. Also, interestingly, All PDFs for pervious tax return doesn't provide full information either. Could it be possible that TurboTax changed the policy not to include additional pages (e.g. worksheet)?

Are there disadvantages of using the Actual Expenses method? I'm not talking about the additional work of collecting receipts but more about selling the vehicle down the road.    And also any disadvantages of using a mix of both methods whenever one method yields a better result each year?

If you don't know your home heating costs, you can estimate them using various tools and methods. Here's a concise summary: Utility Estimator by Zip Code: Use a utility estimator to get localized utility cost estimations based on your zip code, home size, heating type, and other factors. Heating Cost Calculators: Calculate your home heating costs based on the type of fuel you use (gas, oil, propane, electricity) and your home's heating equipment. Monthly Bill: Check your monthly utility bill for contact information. It usually includes a phone number, email address, and website. Utility Provider's Website: Visit the website of your utility provider for customer service contact details and online account management options Customer Service: Call the customer service number provided on your bill to speak directly with a representative who can help you with your heating cost inquirie    

Thanks!   -oh I see, I already submitted the return. I will need to allocate the rental income for both NY and NC based on how long I lived in NY and NC even though the income was earned from a property in another state (IL).   1. How do I amend the return?  I don't see the option.  2. Which form would I need to fill out for NY and NC?   -I already submitted my return. Not seeing the State Tax section. Is it still possible to see it once I submit the returns?   -If I want to make estimated tax payments to NY online, can I make any amount or does NY dictate that I make certain amount of payment. I am online and it doesn't say how much so I'm planning to use the same as payment 1 for 2023.    -Can I use turbotax to help calculated estimated tax payments and pay it with Turbotax for NY if so how would I do that?

In your original question you asked "where do I enter the portion of that amount that is from my state of California?"  According to the California FTB "California does not tax dividends paid by a fund attributable to interest received from U.S. obligations or California state or municipal obligations IF at least 50% of the fund's assets would be exempt from California tax when held by an individual.   It looks like you reported exempt interest dividend from a fund with more than 50% of assets that are California exempt, and should not be added back to your CA income.  

Adding .24 cents will not work.  The amount has to be equal to or greater than line 2 (I believe that's the line).  I just made it match the line it had to, and submitted.  It did not affect anything else.  I'll deal with it if I need to.

That is normal.   The credit applies to your jointly filed return and will print the first name listed on a MFJ return.  The CRP worksheet (where the credit is calculated) will correctly reflect the spouse's information.   Since the credit is not applied per taxpayer, it doesn't matter which name appears at the top of Form M1Rent.
