  If you are hosting promotions and seminars this would not be rental income as it is not passive income, but it would be schedule C self-employment income.  You would be able to claim a prorated amount as a maintenance expense for the business compared to personal use. Ex.  If you pay $900 for the 90 days, you would be able to deduct (14/90=) 15.6% of the $900 or $140.     You cannot deduct the entire amount only the amount that directly relates to your business.

Thank you for looking at that @DanaB  (update below) I'm confused... I have (2) inherited accounts, one Roth, one IRA   The Inherited IRA 1099 is entered first. The TT wizard asks for "amount that was required to be distributed by December 31, 2024 from this account".  I took the full required RMD and entered same amount as the required amount. (The TT wizards states:  Note: Do not include the RMD for other retirement accounts you may have. RMDs for other accounts should be entered separately   The Inherited Roth IRA 1099 is entered second.  The TT wizard never asks for the required RMD amount for the inherited Roth IRA.  I don't know how/where/why TT is seeing a required RMD amount larger than what is shown as distributed.  (I took the full required RMD from the Inherited Roth IRA)   -----update ok, mystery solved, I think.  Thank you for your help @DanaB !  Your comments helped me figure it out.  The entry wizard doesn't ask for the required RMD amount (on the inherited Roth IRA).  I re-entered the 1099s and there was no penalty this time.  Upon doing return review, TT picks up the error (amount of required RMD missing) and asks for the required RMD amount.  Not realizing it was specificallly asking for the required RMD amount just for the inherited Roth, I was erroneously entering the amount for the other.  (scrolling down the inset window of the form helped clarify/confirm) So, I think it is all correct now.  Thanks for your help,  would not have figured it out without your input.  Hope this maybe helps anyone else with similar issue.

Thank you! Will IRS likely flag  us if we claim AOTC for highschooler despite we received 1098-T from college for 2024 tax year (with check marked at least half  time)? And ban us from claiming AOTC for 2 years? To be safe, should or can we wait to claim 2024 1098-T wiith 2025 tax year? Thanks so much in advance!

What reason are you seeing for not being able to e-file with Form 568? Are you using TurboTax Business? If you are using a 1040 version of TurboTax, it will only prepare one Form 568 for one SMLLC only.      

Thank you for the response.  I'm still having issues.  I actually did withdraw significantly more than my RMD.  I'll use round numbers just to simplify the example.  I withdrew my regular amounts monthly, and one lump sum of $29,000, totaling $51,000 for the year.  It turned out that I did not need the $29,000 that I withdrew, so inside of 60 days  I put that money back.  This shows up as a rollover in Box 2 on my Form 5498.  My 1099-R shows the $51,000 in boxes 1 and 2a.  It also has box 2b checked (Taxable amount not determined).  It shows $2,290 in box 4 (Fed tax withheld), and it shows distribution code of 7 (Normal Distribution) in box 7.  My RMD for this account is $14,800.  So, I went back into TurboTax and re-entered all this information, this time selecting "Some of this distribution applied to the December 31, 2024 RMD, and I entered the amount applicable to my 2024 RMD again.  The rest of the questions remained the same and I still was not asked about a rollover.  Here is more information, but I'm not sure if it is relevant.   I inherited this IRA from my spouse in 2023 and rolled the entire amount ($41,000) over to my IRA in 2023.  This was reflected in my 2023 Tax Return.

Waiting for his amended return will not help you.   Print, sign and date your own return that claims him in ink, and mail your return in.   You have been blocked from e-filing by his very common mistake---which he probably will not make again next year.....   When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.  

Thank you so much for your answer. My home address has changed since then, which is the reason why I lost the document. Should I used the old address for the resent tax return or should I used my current address?
