Some forms aren't available to be E-filed yet. This could be because the IRS and/or State haven't released the form to be electronically filed. Once they do release it, it might take a few days for TurboTax to integrate it into the system.
If the form says it's Unsupported, it means that it is not supported by TurboTax, and you won't be able to file it electronically. Instead, you will have to print and mail either the form itself or the whole return.
Click on the link below and then on the blue "This Tool" link, and locate your state for when a specific return or Form will be available to be e-filed (if the form isn't supported by TurboTax you will need to file by mail):
When will my individual tax forms be available in TurboTax?

Answer the questions about whether the property was rented every day in 2024
Answer whether you had office space in the home.
The next question is the one for "Want us to divide the rental related portion", select yes.

Since you filed a joint tax return for the year that the refund was for, it should be fine for him to claim it.

hello, I purchased a download from Amazon and when I attempt to install it I get the message, App has failed to start because its side by side configuration is incorrect. Please see the spp event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail. Can you give any guidance? As an aside, I do not have a CD for 2023, I really wish you still made those available. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm new to this and need help. I drive for Uber because my car broke down and I was able to get a rental through them. I'm using TurboTax deluxe software. I'm trying to figure out how to claim expenses for renting a vehicle and for the gas I used for the vehicle, etc.. the only way I see in the software it keeps wanting to know if I owned or lease a vehicle and then had expenses on that vehicle, but I didn't own or lease the vehicle I rented it, but I still have major expenses with the rental. Right now I'm actually trying to get caught up and do 2023 and my expenses were greater than my income and I'm trying to figure out how to do this properly. Can someone please tell me how I expense this in the software? Thank you all very much in advance for your assistance. I'm at my whits end pulling my hair out right now trying to do this. Going forward I will use a tax professional to do this quarterly for 2025 and onward but right now I'm trying to get caught up on my own.

The statement that you have to "do nothing" but wait for the refund is 100% inaccurate information and can make people lose out on money because they did not submit the appropriate documentation.

Thank you, so as I understand it, this is what I should see: 2023 Return - $3,850 in other income and 6% penalty (already amended and paid) 2024 Return - $248 earnings in other income, and no 6% penalty because all 2023 activity was withdrawn before 12/31/2024 I understand that I will have to pay the 20% penalty on the full $4,098. Can this be avoided (fully or partially) if I indicate that I used the distribution for medical expenses? As I understand it, even though I was ineligible for the HSA in the first place, I can still use these funds for medical expenses and avoid the 20%?

A lien payoff letter is a letter between a lender and a borrower that states that upon the satisfaction of certain conditions by the borrower (usually payment of a specified amount on a specified date), the lender will release its liens on all collateral securing the loan and all obligations of the borrower.
If this involves a closing on your home sale, it is used to ensure a proper payoff of your mortgage for closing. Sellers or closing agents must contact the lien holder or their attorney for an official payoff statement. This statement outlines the final payoff amount and includes details on principal balances, accrued interest, attorney's fees, and administrative costs.

Code 8 is for an overcontribution made and removed in the same year. Code P is for an overcontribution from the prior year that is being removed in this year. Use the code that is applicable to your situation.
If you have entered this information on your 2024 return then the 1099-R that you receive next year should match the fake one you're entering now. As long as the numbers match you get to ignore it next year.

Yes, you can e-file your amended return to the IRS and Oklahoma (OK) must be mailed according to the instructions. TurboTax will provide the instructions. Check out page 6 and 26 in the link below. As indicated you can wait a short time, however if you will owe additional tax do not wait past April 15th to file your amendment.

we cant see your return so look at the Qual Dividend and capital gain worlsheet.
in the tax calculation the LTCG does not come first to see if you're over the thresholds it comes last and taxable social security is taken into account before the capital gains
here's an over-simplified example
1) taxable income (line 15 of 1040) less qualified dividends and long-term capital gains
2) 94050
3) smaller of 1 or 2
4) line 2 less line 3 not less than zero. The QD and LTCG taxed at 0%
5) taxable income less line 2 taxed at 15%
a)lets assume taxable income 100,000 so line1 above 78,000
b) smaller of 1 or 2 is 1 or 78,000
c) 94050-78000 =16050 taxeda t zero
d) 100000-94050 = 5950 taxe at 15%
This example shows that the amount of taxable income affects the portion of QD and LTCG that's taxed. Even though, in this example, it was below 47025 a portion gets taxed

I reviewed your return. You entered a RMD amount required for the inherited Roth IRA larger than what is shown as distributed on Form 1099-R.
To clarify, did you not take your full RMD for the inherited Roth IRA? If not then you need to take it as soon as possible. If you take it soon you can say "Yes I took the entire remaining amount during the correction window". Also, you can request a waiver of the penalty if you have reasonable cause. Please see Relief for Reasonable Cause for additional information.

I’m in the same situation and will do this method to cancel out the dual reported income. My only question is, since it’s a large amount of overlapping income would this not trigger an audit? And if it does how do I justify the offsetting expense when it technically isn’t an expense
