I sold a rental house. Separated the house from land since I took a loss on the land.
You should answer that there were NO excess contributions for previous years. This is true as the excess contributions had been withdrawn before the due date of the tax returns.

So, I used the actual cost deduction on vehicle last year for my business. This year, I am starting a new business which will have me on the road alot and I would like to use the standard mileage deduction for this business. Is there any way I can switch this vehicle's deduction method since it is for a new business? I would be willing to no longer claim it for my first business as I'm phasing that out.
No.   You cannot deduct this as there is no out-of-pocket expense.   If you are self-employed and you use your home on a regular basis, you may be eligible for a home office deduction.   ... See more...

Your son qualifies as a full time student if he is full time for 5 months or part months in 2024.   You can claim him as a dependent in 2024 if he's under 24.   For the 1099-Q, if the distribution is justified by his education expenses including room and board, you are not required to enter that form in your tax return. Just keep the form in your tax records together with your calculation showing that the distribution is for education expenses.   On form 1099-Q, instructions to the recipient read: "Nontaxable distributions from CESAs and QTPs are not required to be reported on your income tax return. You must determine the taxability of any distribution.

Resolved: I restarted and redid everything from scratch and it fixed it.   I live in a foreign country and have all of 2024.   When I run the smartcheck in turbo tax, it tells me I have to enter a state and state sales tax rate for Schedule A line1b. I have gone through the program multiple times to check every address and every question is marked that I live in a foreign country and money was earned in a foreign country. How do I get rid of having to make an entry here? I must have missed something.   Where do they even ask the question for line1b in turbotax? It let's me skip state taxes so I have no clue what I need to revise for it register I live in a foreign country.

I have a question relating to the last semester of college. My understanding is that the student has to be a full-time student for 6 months to qualify as a dependent. My son did his final term, which ended in May, so he only was a student for 5 months. I used his 529 plan to cover his tuition and room and board, and the distribution came to me. I make too much to qualify for any tuition credits. Do I claim him as a dependent and not report the 529 disbursement? He went to work full-time after graduating and earned $31,000 in 2024.   Thanks very much!

As a follow-up, though I was able to get past the error message, I was unable to eFile. It appears that if the payer's SSN is on the 1099 NEC, one cannot eFile. I attempted to put the SSN in the EIN field and am told I cannot have the same number in each box.  Thanks!

I accidentally said that I can be claimed as someone else's dependent. Turbotax will not let me e-file without correcting this. I've gone back and made the change, but it still comes up during the review process and will not let me proceed. It will not let me file by mail either. It will not let me start over because I have already paid for the service. Is this a glitch? What is to be done?
