You are a resident alien of the United States for tax purposes if you meet either the green card test or the substantial presence test for calendar year 2024.   If you do not qualify under the Green Card Test, You may be required to file an IRS form 1040 under the Substantial Presence Test.     IRS Publication 519, page 5, states:   Substantial Presence Test    You are a resident for tax purposes if you meet the substantial presence test for calendar year 2024.

When you are claiming your college student the American Opportunity Credit is the best one.  You will need the 1098-T from her university or college - she can download it from her student portal if you haven't already received it.  You will enter that form into TurboTax and answer the follow up questions and be all set.   @Anna113 

I have the same issue, with State of Connecticut K-1s not being populated from the Federal.  Completing the CT forms requires override - but this precludes e-filing, which is required by the State.  Additionally, the lack of auto-populated data into this part of the CT-1065 means the Pass Through Entity Tax Credit is not being calculated.  These are critical failures.  Is anyone at TurboTax working on a solution?

This should occur on your W-2 Box 16 State wages Box 17 State Income Tax The error message means Box 17 can not be larger than Box 16. This makes perfect seance. Is box 16 blank.   If you only have one state listed it should be the same os Box 1.  

If you or your spouse were born on or before Jan. 1, 1960, you may qualify to claim an age deduction of up to $12,000 each. The age deduction you may claim will depend upon your birth date, filing status, and income.   For more information check: Virginia Tax

There are not tax credits for solar net metering.  Solar net metering is when your panels produce more electricity than you use and your power supplier credits that electricity to your account for your usage for when your panels are producing less than you use. There is a tax credit for installing the solar panels. However, there is not a credit for banking electricity with the city or utility company.  Additionally, if they would pay you for the excess solar that is fed back to the company or city, this would become taxable income to you. 

I think this is solvable but based on your replies I'm not getting clear picture that you've fixed the 1099s the way I'm describing; if you are saying the accrued interest for your Treasuries is entered on the same 1099 as your Line 8, it won't work.  So if that's where things are still stuck, to recap again - delete the 1099 you already entered that isn't working, and start over.  For the one physical 1099 you got from your broker, enter it into TT as two separate 1099s as tho it came from two different brokers, one for anything to do with your Treasuries only (Line 3 and the accrued interest), and one for anything to do with your munis only (Line 8).

The breakdown for 1099-B transactions will be located on Form 8949, as well as a summary on Schedule D. You can review a copy of your tax filing on the summary page. You will need to pay for your TurboTax fees first in order to see a preview of all forms and schedules available To locate the Summary Page follow the steps below: From the TurboTax home screen locate the left panel. Click on Tax Tools, then Print Center. (if you don't see the Tax tools menu right away, open any section of your return, for example your W-2 section, then try again to locate the left panel) click on Print, save or preview this year's return. The Summary Page will be included there.

Also, to clarify- the only people that can uncheck form 5695 and resubmit are those that are married and filing jointly, correct? If I own a co-own a house with my fiance, and we are filing separately as we are not married yet, the fix will apply to me, correct? Thank you!

You may want to check regarding the qualifications for Medicaid as it relates to someone providing support for the recipient. It may be similar to an individual having to declare that they can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return. It doesn't matter if they are actually claimed as such, the mere ability to be claimed as a dependent denies tax filers certain benefits. It may be the same with Medicaid recipients. If so, it may be prudent to claim the individual as a dependent since the mere fact that they qualify as such may deny them Medicaid benefits.
