TurboTax may prompt for payment when amending if you need to upgrade products, if the change is for something that was not part of the original return you purchased.   Also, the amend option appears only when you start the process from Tax Home for that year; otherwise, you may be routed to an upgrade/checkout path. In which case you should exit and re-enter by logging in, go to Tax Home, scroll down to your tax returns & documents, select the year you want to amend. Then select the Amend (change) return drop-down.   If you still experience issues, Contact Us

This is the issue I see in claiming the QBI safe harbor, especially when using a management company. It's logical to assume they would hire whoever is needed to perform repairs, maintenance, and other work on the property. Whether they get the info in note A is unknown. Talk to them to see what they can provide.   Maintain contemporaneous records The IRS requires you to document services as they occur—the hours, description of services, dates, and who performed the services—not recreating them at the end of the year. Here are some tips to meet this requirement: Keep detailed notes for each property or building Include dates, type of activity, and time spent (note A) Attach the annual statement election To formally elect Safe Harbor treatment, you must attach a statement to your tax return each year, signed by the owner or representative. You can’t elect the Safe Harbor on an amended return unless you have a valid reason for the initial omission. The statement must include: A description (including the address and rental category) of all rental real estate properties included in each RREE. A representation that the requirements regarding separate books and records, the 250-hour rule, and contemporaneous records have been met. A signature by the taxpayer (or an authorized representative) declaring under penalties of perjury that the statement is true.   Here's an example that I think meets the rule for contemporaneous records. You hire a landscaper for a property. At the end of each month, a bill is submitted with the hours notated.

If you don't see the selection you're looking for, it's probably gone at this point.   Do you have receipts from your donations? You can reconstruct the data from the receipts and you'll need them anyway in the event you're ever question about the deduction.

Here is how to solve this   1) Right-click TurboTax > Run as administrator. Update TurboTax fully, then close it. Disable VPN and third-party antivirus temporarily. Reopen once; if it still prompts for license, don’t enter it again. 2) Contact TurboTax support to reset/unlock the license (it hit the max due to repeated post‑update reactivations).  3) Always launch “as Administrator” after updates.

Select Forms in the upper-right hand corner Under Forms in My Return select K-1 Worksheet Scroll down to Line 14 Other Information Use the empty lines with code ZZ to add in additional information Se also: IRS - 1041 K-1 Instructions Code ZZ.

Is there a form to show the 'expenses necessary to maintain the property' vs rents received? or just keep my own spreadsheet in case I am asked for it?   Also, can I use the taxes and interest as that offset if I don't itemize? I know better than to use it in both places. The Standard Deduction is so big nowadays it would be more beneficial to use them to offset the rent.
