To clarify, do you have also a 2024 Form 1099-R with code PJ entered? If yes, this is a issue we are currently working on.   If you do not have taxes withheld on the 2024 Form 1099-R with code PJ then delete this form since you do not need to report it on your 2024 return. You will have to report it on your 2023 return. Please see How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year?    After deleting Form 1099-R with code PJ you should see the correct follow-up screens:   Click "Continue" on the  "Your 1099-R Entries" screen after deleting Form 1099-R with codes PJ and entering Form 1099-R with codes 8J Continue until "Did you use your IRA to pay for any of these expenses?" screen and enter the amount of earnings under "Corrective distributions made before the due date of the return".   If you have taxes withheld on the Form 1099-R with code PJ then please try this workaround:   Delete the Form 1099-R with codes PJ   Click "Continue" on the  "Your 1099-R Entries" screen after deleting Form 1099-R wit codes PJ and entering Form 1099-R with codes 8J Continue until "Did you use your IRA to pay for any of these expenses?" screen and enter the amount of earnings under "Corrective distributions made before the due date of the return".

If the box 1 amount is fully covered by the box 5 amount, then just don't enter the 1098-T. The 1098-T is only an informational document. The numbers on it are not required to be entered onto your tax return.    The ability of the parent of a high school student to claim the education credit is limited.  If these courses are provided by an eligible college, this cost qualifies for the Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC). The school must have policy of granting college credit for that course, already taken, if the student ever enrolls there. In other words, it is a requirement that the course be a college credit course, even if the student isn't currently a college student. It’s not that the student is post-secondary, it’s that the course is post secondary. Books are not a qualifying expense, unless included in the course fee. You must have paid tuition to the college and not the high school in order to claim the expenses on your return. https://www.taxact.com/support/22177/2023/education-credits-high-school-student-taking-college-classes?hideLayout=False High school students are not usually eligible for the more generous American Opportunity Credit, unless they are officially enrolled as a degree candidate.     After answering no to both the degree seeking and credential seeking questions, you will get a screen titled "did you take college level classes in 2024". Answer yes. The fine print says "Note: Answer yes if you took the classes as a high school student". 

The problem was that TurboTax defaults to 90% of last year's tax when it should default to 110% when preparing 540-ES estimated tax for next year.  And the IRS rule is as follows:   "Individuals who are required to make estimated tax payments, and whose 2023 California adjusted gross income is more than $150,000 (or $75,000 if married/RDP filing separately) must figure estimated tax based on the lesser of 90% of their tax for 2024 or 110% of their tax for 2023 including AMT."   TurboTax should be defaulting to 110% of current year when calculating California 540-ES estimated taxes for the next year, not 90%.    TurboTax, please change your default to 110% when calculating 540-ES for California.  I don't understand why the default is 110% for the Federal but not the State.  Why?  Please fix this.
