Your federal withholdings will automatically be added to your return when you enter the income source.  For example, if you have a W-2, federal withholding is reported in Box 2.  When you enter all the information from your W-2 into TurboTax, the credit will automatically populated on your tax return, Form 1040, Line 25. The same is true no matter where the tax was withheld from - a W-2, 1099, or another source.  

Hello, I experienced this exact same situation with regards to the tax liability either not dropping or going up.  I did have Turbo Tax check the program and they insist that it is correct.  In analyzing it myself and walking back through the steps: I believe this happens because a contribution to the ER portion of your solo 401k actual decreases your QBI deduction. The Qualified Business Income Deduction.  The tax code limits that to specified income and at certain levels.  The reason why I believed that there was an error in TT is because a contribution as an ER should still reduce your self employment tax. So even though TT insists it's correct; it still doesn't make complete sense that there is no accompanying reduction in the tax liability. The "counter" at the top of the program does not move.

The MW506NRS is the Application for Tentative Refund of Withholding on 2024 Sales of Real Property by Nonresidents, it is not a tax return.  When you filed the MW506NRS you should have been refunded your withholding from the sale, which usually only happens of you are expected to pay tax on the sale.  You can check at Maryland filing requirements to see if you are required to file a tax return.

I had the same concern. And nearly the same situation, my wife and I filing jointly and two dependents. One dependent did hers incorrectly. She amended hers without the IP pin. I got an IP pin for only me and not my wife or other child. I was able to E file and got the messages back from state and federal that it was accepted. so far so good.

@fanfare I didn't choose to summarize - this is what TurboTax (Deluxe, Mac/PC edition) told me to do. when I connected it to my robinhood account, it gave some sort of an error. I have short term gain (B) showing on my 1099-B. Can I somehow e-file everything? I am okay "not summarizing"

    AmyC, Thank you for taking time to review my TurboTax issue.  I’m providing here additional details that should clarify what I see as a code bug in TurboTax 2024 Home and Business edition.   I submit my 2024 tax return in February 2025, Turbo Tax calculated my refund to be $8013.  I receive a letter from the IRS stating that “We have found an error on your 2024 Form 1040-SR, which affects the following area of your return” Itemized Deductions Further, IRS stated that: “We changed the amount claimed as total gifts to charity on your Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, because it was figured incorrectly or the amount was not limited based on your adjusted gross income.”   Upon further review I found on TurboTax the following example:  If your adjusted gross income is $50,000, and you donated $20,000 in cash, and $15,000 worth of goods. You can deduct only $5,000 of the goods this year ($25,000 limit - $20,000 cash donation = $5,000). Next year, you can deduct the remaining $10,000 (depending, of course, on your AGI). See charitable contribution carryover deduction for more information about charitable carryovers. I determined that using this example and applying it to my return TurboTax did not limit my deduction correctly, TurboTax applied all of my 2024 cash donations, 2024 non-cash donation and my 2023 carryover deduction with applying the limit to the results on line 14 on Schedule A See calculation: I am also including the Charitable Contributions from the Tax Return Transcript - Schedule A I believe that TurboTax has a programing/calculation error that must be acknowledged and fixed.
