Other income can be the following types of income:   Money you received from something like a prize, award, lawsuit settlement, etc. It's most often on a 1099-MISC (Box 3) You report it on Line 8 of Schedule 1 of the Form 1040

Assuming you are referring to the special credits Arizona allows, such as for a contribution to a qualified charitable organization (QCO) on the Arizona (AZ) return, follow the steps below.   Sign into your *TurboTax account > Select State Taxes > Continue through the state screens until you reach the Additional Standard Deduction for Charitable Contributions screen Select Contributions for Which You are Claiming an Arizona Credit enter your contribution amount Continue to complete your return Be sure that your contributions entered here are not duplicated on your itemized deductions. See here for more information from the State of Arizona regarding the tax credits.   The credits and carryovers are addressed in the Arizona interview. When you complete the 2024 Arizona interview in TurboTax, review each screen and answer the questions that apply to you. When you get to the screen asking about Other Nonrefundable Credits (see screenshots below), check the box next to "Contributions to qualified charities". On the follow-up screen, check the box indicating that you have a carryover from 2023 if that applies.     If you have a carryover from 2023, look for this screen:     If you made the entries but don't see the credit on your return, check to see whether you had Arizona tax on the return against which you could apply the credit. If not, you may be able to carry it over to 2025.    

Here's a tip that might help, especially if you later get an Error Check notice.   Choose the format "type" as @ RobertB4444  mentioned above, but when entering the actual numbers, enter them contiguously without any hyphens or spaces.   TurboTax will take the 9 contiguous digits and should know how to format them as EIN or SSN based on the format "type" you indicate.

@ckuntzman200    Wait a bit though.   Are you under age 24 and considered a dependent of your MI-Parents?   IF so, your time in the College state is considered temporary (and ignores the 183 day stuff), and you are considered a full-year resident of MI.   Then, if you work in that college state, then you only file a non-resident tax return for that working income in the college state.

yes it works best when you're able to use prior year tax for the estimated tax payments rather than 90% of the current year, as everything from prior year is known and it doesn't matter what unexpected income you get or when.   But, IRS allows for uneven income and estimated tax payments instead of even quarterly payments, by allowing you adopt an annualized income method on Form 2210 where you can lay out your AGI vs. the estimated payments to reduce/eliminate the penalty.  You would need to provide cumulative AGI, Long Term Cap Gains/Qualified Dividends thru 3/31, 5/31, 8/31 for this method.   Under Other Tax Situations / Underpayment Penalties, you can go through the interview process to see if it reduces/eliminates the penalty and then adopt this method.

TN does not have income tax.   Enter your w-2 as it appears.   You will be able to adjust/allocate the wages when you prepare the part-year state return for the other state.   If you were a resident of two different states during the tax year, follow these steps.   How do I allocate (split) income for a part-year state return?

I would use eBay, but what matters the most here is that you use something that allows you to be prompted to remember what this transaction refers to in the unlikely event that you are asked to show support for the numbers.

It sounds like you are using TurboTax Online, but purchased a license code for TurboTax Desktop software.   If that is the case, follow the steps in this TurboTax Help Article to switch from TurboTax Online to TurboTax Desktop:   Install and/or open your 2024 TurboTax Desktop.

The problem seems to be that the partnership return was prepared incorrectly. The property hasn't been sold.  Thus, its cost and probably most other expenses regarding the property should be reflected in the ending inventory.  I think it is crucial that a corrected return and K-1s be filed. Failure could prompt an IRS audit. You can't ignore what is on the K-1. The IRS sure wouldn't.  A tax pro should probably be consulted as to what can be expensed and what must be included in ending inventory costs.

According to the instructions for Form 8962, it only needs to be filed if you have a premium tax credit, which would only occur if you had entries in column C on your Form 1095-A. Since you don't have that, the form would not need to be included with your tax return:  

" You would need to look at your 2023 W-2 and any other income documents to see how much state tax was withheld."   Would this be the same as the amount from Line 5d of Schedule A? Or would it be Line 5e (smaller of the 2 amounts, 5d or 10,000)?   This "Total of all your payments..." question has been confusing me and I'm glad to have found this topic. I would appreciate your response. Thanks!
