Currently, there is no deduction you may make regarding the payment of your tuition.  It is reflected in the 1098T you received but won't be able to claim a credit because you are non-resident unless stated otherwise in a tax treaty.

Your federal tax return goes to a different location depending on the state that you live in and if you have a payment due.  See this list to determine the location for you.  Where to File Paper Tax Returns (irs.gov)    For Nevada residents:   No payment: Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service Ogden, UT 84201-0002   With a payment: Internal Revenue Service P.O. Box 802501 Cincinnati, OH 45280-2501

To change the date for paying federal:   TO CANCEL A TAX PAYMENT YOU SCHEDULED   If your return was accepted, you cannot change your payment method  or payment date.  The only thing you can do is cancel the payment and then pay by a different method on your own.   Call IRS e-file Payment Services 24/7 at 1-888-353-4537 to ask about or cancel your payment, but please wait 7 to 10 days after your return was accepted before calling. Cancellation requests must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.  

If you were both covered, then you are both required to report this on your return. You will then select that this policy is shared with another tax payer and each of you will claim 50% as the allocation amount.   Be aware, if you are filing separately, you are not eligible for the Advanced Premium Tax Credit.  So you will both likely see an increase in your tax due or a drop in your refund. 

Was that health insurance through healthcare.gov?   Do you have a 1095A for that?   If you have something else like a 1095B or 1095C you do not enter anything about your health insurance.  Only information from a 1095A needs to be entered.

Turns out I had negative numbers. Once I got rid of them I no longer got this error message. Instead a new problem happens: The import has been processing for 5+ minutes and isn't complete yet. These crypto import tools aren't working well.   My specific issue still has to do with Coinbase Pro transactions that are needed to complete the data in Coinbase. I'm sure there are lots of people with this issue and Turbotax should make a tool that works easily for everyone. 

Yes, you should amend the 2023 tax return. If you have a balance due, it's recommended to file and pay as soon as you realize you need to amend in order to stop the penalties and interest from accruing.   Form 1099-NEC is used for non-employee compensation, which is often paid to freelancers or contractors and reported on Schedule C, which is why you are being asked business questions. If you have no related expenses, you can answer the questions and report just the income on Schedule C.   See: What is a 1099-NEC?

Ok, I understand.   Thank you for the response.    I have another question.  We received Marketplace insurance for which he was the primary.  Who is required to report that information on their taxes, him, me or both of us?
