If I reported my dependent teen's 1099-INT (under $1000) in my Federal Return, do I need to report it as her income in the State Return where it asks if my dependent teen made income?
The amount withheld in box 4 will be deducted from your tax liability which zeroes out your penalty

I've been battling this for the last few hours. Couldn't get the 1099B to appear for a while, but finally did and every single transaction showed "needs review" for no reason. Once again, I've deleted those transactions and am back to battling the 1099K mystery. This is a joke. It really is.

I moved from MA to CO (and became a CO resident) on July 1, 2024. However, my state of residence wasn't updated in Workday and ADP until October, so my July-September earnings were incorrectly taxed MA taxes, when they should have been subject to CO taxes. I asked my employer to issue me a corrected W-2 (W-2c) statement, but I was told it's not possible since earnings and taxes withheld are determined and reported by my state of residence in Workday. They won't retroactively update my earnings and taxes withheld for July-September.   I know I should file a MA Part-Year Resident tax return for January 1, 2024 - June 30, 2024 and a CO Part-Year Resident tax return for July 1, 2024-December 31, 2024. Then, based on what I've read online, such as https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/file-nonresi[product key removed]n/L0FzmhQrX_US_en_US and https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/after-you-file/discussion/my-employer-paid-income-tax-to-a-state-i-did-not-live-in-and-won-t-issue-a-correction/00/33685, I should also file a MA Non-Resident tax return (first) for July 1, 2024 - September 30, 2024 to receive a refund for the taxes that were incorrectly withheld by MA, when I was in fact a CO resident. The instructions state, "If preparing a nonresident return solely to recover erroneous tax withholdings, enter 0 on the screen that asks for the amount of income earned in that state. This will eliminate your tax liability for that state, resulting in a full refund."   Can someone please clarify, "enter 0 on the screen that asks for the amount of income earned in that state."? Does this mean I should specify $0 of earnings for the non-resident state (MA) for July 1, 2024 - September 30, 2024? On this page in the "Complete Schedule R/NR" section (see screenshot), I tried entering $0 for all rows in the "Massachusetts Income While Nonresident" column, but I was later told that the Schedule R/NR isn't necessary since I'm reporting $0 nonresident income, and my only option to proceed is to remove the Schedule R/NR. After removing the Schedule R/NR and getting to the Summary page, my total income indicated as being taxable by MA was way too high. Also, there's a page in my MA tax return, titled, "Pay Tax to Another State?", which asks if I paid tax to MA and another state. Should I answer yes to this since I will have paid tax to CO for July-September too once I submit a CO Part-Year State Tax Return, or should I answer no since I wasn't double-taxed at the time (when my earnings were taxed MA taxes, but should have been taxed CO taxes)?

Thanks for your clarification questions. GC is not issued abroad but later with the printed date as  the date I physically available in the U.S. I don't have income from the entry date till the end of the tax year. Is there any different with the coming from country? but yes I'm from Vietnam.

The Explain My Taxes section is Box 1 plus $5K from Box 10 of your W-2, less the loss on Schedule E (2,655).       $5k of the $6600 in Box 10 is taxable on your tax return.   That amount is not included in box 1, but TurboTax adds it back to taxable income until you enter the qualified expenses paid for with the amount in Box 10.   To enter your dependent care benefits, see How do I get to the Child and Dependent Care Credit in TurboTax?      What is the Child and Dependent Care Credit?

I am renting out 1 room in my house which I also live in. Turbo tax is saying I can deduct the cost of insurance premiums, but it's not clear as to whether or not I deduct the full amount or if I can only deduct a portion based on how much of my house I rented out. I assume the latter is correct but I want to make sure if my thinking is accurate.
I'm trying to understand why there is another 10% I'm being charged when I had the company withdraw the 10% Penalty fee BEFORE I got the payment!

Hi everyone, this is the first time I am using this forum and I want to thank the community for this support. In 2024 I did a roth conversion from my IRA to a Roth IRA in TIAA. In the 1099-R, box 1 has the amount converted, box 2a has the same amount as taxable amount. Box 7 code is G, and the IRA/SEP/Simple has an X.   When I entered this in Turbotax and answered questions it said for Roth conversions the code should be 1, 2 or 7 instead.  When I contacted TIAA they said they wont issue a corrected 1099R and suggested I contact a CPA rather than try to file it on Turbotax.  Given the short turnaround time for filing day, I am hoping there is a solution.  thank you.

You can take the Student Loan Deduction if you are  legally obligated to make the payments on the student loans. You don't have to have a dependent on your return to be legible to claim the student loan interest.    To qualify, the interest payments you make during the year must be on a student loan that you took out to put yourself, your dependents or spouse through school. For 2024, if you're filing as Single or Head of Household, your modified adjusted gross income, or MAGI, has to be less than $95,000, or less than $195,000 if filing Married Filing Jointly, to deduct any student loan interest.   Please review the IRS Topic # 45 Student Loan Interest Deduction and the TurboTax article What is a 1098-E: Student Loan Interest? For more information,.   Go back and review your answers on the Personal profile screen to make sure that you didn't select that you could be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.  This may be the issue. Select your name under My Info Select Revisit Scroll through the screens to ensure that you have the correct answers.

You only have one choice for deducting your investment interest.  It is deductible as an itemized deduction, if you itemize, and the amount of the deduction is limited to the amount of net taxable investment income earned in the same year.  You can carry forward any unused investment interest expense.     I believe what you are referring to when you mention deducting on non-qualified dividends is the choice to elect to treat net long-term capital gains or qualified dividends as investment income in order to deduct more of your investment interest. But if you do, that portion of the long-term capital gain or dividend will be taxed at ordinary-income rates.
