@ charlievunguyen wrote:  why doesn't turbotax remember my prior information? I've been filing for years now, and it's still asking me about social security, birthdates, etc   It depends on how you prepared your 2023 return and how you are preparing your 2024 return.   We don't know what product you are using this year and last year--Online or desktop--so I'll mention both scenarios.   If you are using desktop software, and IF you transferred last year's 2023 data file into your desktop product when you started a return this year, then it should have a lot of the information filled out, including the bio items you mentioned.   If you are using desktop software, did you have the *.tax2023 data file from last year on your computer so that TurboTax could transfer it in when you started your 2024 return?   If you are using Online TurboTax this year and also used Online TurboTax last year, then IF you are in the SAME account as last year, it should have transferred the 2023 information into your 2024 Online return when you started this year.   Many people end up with more than one account without realizing it.    If your problem is with Online TurboTax, we can tell you how to look for and access multiple accounts to find the one with the 2023 return.

Thank you for your reply which I believe to be correct. However, this is offered as an option by Turbotax when you file your taxes with them. I believe Turbotax should have a caution detailing that the date cannot be changed after filing. My state (Maryland) has accepted the return, however, is showing it as not processed since the payment is scheduled for end of April. Should Turbotax bank not make the payment on April 30 for any reason I could be subject to penalties and/or additional audit.

I figured it out. I was entering the wrong amount for cost. Cost should have been $224341 ($97373 + $126968)
Those are the same settings that work for me.  I suggest that you call TT support.

My refund calculation from Turbotax is more than $3000 but IRS deposited $585.  Checking my refund status on the Turbotax account I'm told my Social Security was in error and IRS recalculated it, which does not make since as I reported what was on the SSA-1099 for my wife and me.  Are you able to learn more?  I would like to know what the error they are talking about is and how it happen.  Thanks.

I am getting a result of $0 depreciation deductions on rental property that was put into service in 2022. I lived in the property for several years before I moved out and I started renting it full time in 2022. I have the pdf of the previous filings which I used to the previous 2 year's deductions on the rental property. Those years the deduction was about $3500. This year the deduction is $0. This doesn't make sense to me. Can you explain or help me to correct my entries. Here is my entry information . . . Rental Real Estate Property Residential Rental Real Estate Cost = $97373 Cost of Land = 126968 Date Purchased 01/01/1999 I purchased this asset NO, I used this item for personal purposed before . . . . Date put into service =10/01/2022 Percentage of time = 100 Total Depreciation claimed in previous years = $6934 (even if I enter $0 here, I still get $0 expense for 2024)

The IRS does not require you to make estimated payments; however, you run the risk of paying a penalty if you don't. You can establish your own payments at IRS Payment options   The underpayment penalty will be assessed if any of these apply: "If you don’t pay enough tax through withholding and estimated tax payments, you may have to pay a penalty." "You also may have to pay a penalty if your estimated tax payments are late, even if you are due a refund when you file your tax return." To avoid the under payment penalty: The amount you owe is less than $1,000, after subtracting withholding and refundable credits. You paid 90% of the tax that you owed for the current year. You paid 100% of the previous year tax, (110% for higher incomes). If your previous year's adjusted gross income was more than $150,000 you will have to pay in 110% of your previous year's taxes to satisfy the "safe-harbor" requirement. "Typically, underpayment penalties are 5% of the underpaid amount, and they're capped at 25%.  Underpaid taxes also accrue interest at a rate that the IRS sets annually."   To avoid this situation it is recommended that you adjust your W-4 with your employer or pay estimated taxes.

  I am getting the same error as mentioned in this post with over 4000 crypto transactions. AND because of this, no capital gains/losses from ANY of my crypto transactions are reflected at all on my turbotax. The comments in this post are unorganized and don't make it clear on how to approach it. In particular, there is no detailed solution of HOW to "[replace] by entering a summary and attaching a statement to your return with the individual sale details" in the original error message: "Since you have more than 4000 noncovered sales, you wil need to remove some of the noncovered sales.  They can be replaced by entering a summary and attaching a statement to your return with the individual sale details."   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/error-about-schedule-d-line-16-exceeded-maximum-noncovered-sales/01/3081599/highlight/true#M1125267   There are a couple solutions suggested in the post: 1. File but mail Form 8453 afterwards. The comments in the post don't clearly mention the step by step steps needed to be taken to ensure TurboTax reflects the CORRECT capital gains/losses before submission. Furthermore, what are the step by step actions needed to be taken to be done after that all the way up to the last step of mailing Form 8453? 2. Aggregate transactions. But how does someone do this with thousands (e.g. close to 10,000) transactions? This is a crazy amount to go through. Also, turbotax doesn't have an aggregate feature, and I don't know any other crypto tax platforms that even allows this. (e.g. I know cointracker doesnt allow this)   PS: I have been fighting many days and hours to get this filed and so I am wondering if I just pay for TurboTax Full Service, will they be able to take care of this for me completely? If not completely, what can they help me with on this issue (please be specific so I can set expectations to understand if it is worth it)?   2nd PS: I have Cointracker and they provide 8949 (condensed) which gives summaries of all cryptocurrencies' transactions. BUT turbotax has no way for me to upload this form. Is there a way to use this form as a summary and then attach the detailed transactions (as a CSV) that I get from Cointracker separately to circumvent this 4000 transaction limit issue?
