We cannot see your screen, your return or your account.  Have you entered ALL of your 2024 information?  All your income, etc.?  All your deductions and/or credits?   There are a lot of variables that affect your refund or tax due including how much you earned, how much tax you had withheld, your filing status, the number of dependents you claim, your deductions and credits, etc.  You may have lost Earned Income Credit or the Child Tax Credit— did a child turn 17?  If you received the EIC last year, remember that changes in the amount you earn have a big effect on the amount of EIC you can get. (Sometimes earning more money means less EIC)  Are you 65 or older ?  If so, your standard deduction is higher. Everyone has a higher standard deduction now so it is harder to use itemized deductions.   And of course, always check your own data entries, looking for errors such as misplaced decimals or extra zeros.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/refund-go-compared-last-year/L97JmhUbi_US_en_US?uid=ld9ijm41   Print out 2023  and 2024  and compare them side by side to see what is different.    https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/tax-payments/video-why-would-i-owe-federal-taxes/L3VXudPiN

What about my child's Alaska PFD? A child's Alaska PFD needs to be reported, even if it was their only source of income in 2024.   If your child's total income was exclusively unearned (meaning the Alaska PFD, plus interest, dividends, or capital gains distributions—no wages or other income earned by working) and was less than $13,000, you can either report their PFD on your return or your child can report it on their own return.   Otherwise, if your child's unearned income (including the Alaska PFD) is $13,000 or more, they must file their own return.  Please click on link below for "child's" directions.   TurboTax FAQ: Where do I enter my Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend?  

It doesn't.  When you walk through the steps of the NY NON resident return, you will see a spot that says adjustment to income.  It will allow you to remove the capital gains that were not NY sourced in this section.  The reason is appears to start is that NY starts with your federal income and then you make adjustments from there. 

You will need to contact the IRS for information. It might be easiest to set up an account with them.   IRS Individual Online Account   Taxpayers with a Social Security number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number can create or access their IRS Individual Online Account to get information they need to file their return. With an IRS Individual Online Account, people can: View balance owed, payment history and schedule payments. Cancel scheduled payments. Get transcripts. View or create payment plans. See digital copies of some IRS notices. View key data from their most recently filed tax return, including adjusted gross income. Validate bank accounts and save multiple accounts, eliminating the need to re-enter bank account information every time they make a payment. View, approve and electronically sign power of attorney and tax information authorizations from their tax professional.

Well that comes from transferring 2023 into 2024 not from the AGI  you entered to efile.  Did you transfer from the wrong .tax2023 file or from the wrong online account?  Did you change your 2023 return or amend it?  Are you entering the AGI  from the original 2023 return?  

I filed taxes in India in 2024 and paid taxes so do I still need to file the sale of the inherited property? And i am trying to file it this year to report the sale and take tax advantage.   Is that ok or do I need to to file amendment for 2023? Thanks
