Filing 1041 for a Trust. The worksheet entitled: "Distributable Income Schedule K-1" has line 13 "Total distributable" and line 14 "Amount distributed to beneficiary". I have amount in columns (a) through (d) for each of the classes of income. Line 13 amounts are: Interest NQDiv QDiv TCapGain 14727 13864 41781 29012 Line 14 amounts are: 16135 15271 37574 30420 I don't understand how the Total Capital Gain on line 14 can exceed the beneficiary's share of Total Capital Gain shown on Schedule D, Part III, line 19 (1), i.e. $29012. Likewise, how can interest and NQDiv on line 14 be more than what is on line 13? I read the description in the "data source" for each column on line 14, used the formula provided, and my calculations are different from what Turbotax shows. Any advice?

I concur with HLAI. It feels like bad practice to enter a zero where there is none, and then later to correct the information when asked, but yes, this did get rid of the "needs review" flag, and correctly reports the cost basis. This one cost me a LOT of time to get past.

I do not have a 1099-Q. I was just calculating the amount I paid in rent and added that. I wasn't sure if I should include that or not, as technically I'm paying for rent through my stipend.

My son is non-dependent IL resident. He received some income from summer internship in CA reported on a W2. He also has income from Capital gains from sale of stocks (at that time he was not in CA, he was in IL). Will these capital gains still be taxed in CA? In turbotax there is this guidance (snapshot below) The only option it gives is to divide the income between CA and other sources, either you check "sale by sale" OR "total amount". There is no option to say N/A or none of the income is from CA. With the Capital gains he owes taxes. What is the appropriate way to file this tax return?

If you remove the apostrophe, you can enter the name of the pension fund and continue with your return.

It's not clear what you're saying. Was the rent included in the box 5 amount on the 1098-T? If yes, then it is additional income and TurboTax (TT) will treat it like ordinary scholarship (apply to the box 1 tuition first, then treat any excess as taxable). If you want to designate it as taxable (for example to free up tuition for you, or your parents to claim the tuition credit), answer yes when TT asks if any of the grant was used for room & board.

The user interface is somewhat different in the Online and Desktop versions, but both offer the user a way to edit a specific transaction. Click on the pencil, rather than the check box.
In the Desktop versions, from the Income Summary, you can open the investments, Stock transactions category, click edit, and then click on the pencil icon next to the specific transaction you would like to edit.
In TurboTax Online, open Wages & Income, scroll down to Investments and click Add/Edit. Once you have entered all of the transactions, you can click the pencil icon next to the specific transaction you would like to edit.
