When you're entering the sale into the rental section you will be asked questions about the use of the home.  Two years out of the last five qualifies for a partial exclusion.  The system will walk you through that.   The other home sale should also qualify for a partial exclusion.  Enter all of the dates and there will be questions about moving and whatnot.  The system is set up for that as well.   @Jren25

You'll need to adjust the amounts reported on your federal return for qualified educator expenses and the related federal educator expenses deduction in order to calculate your Virginia deduction.     Your Virginia deduction for eligible educators is the lesser of $500 or the actual amount paid or incurred by an eligible educator.

The instructions for form 8962 state "Do not include the modified AGI of dependents who are filing a tax return only to claim a refund of tax withheld or estimated tax."     It does matter as it contributes to the household income figure that is used to calculate the premium tax credit (PTC) entitlement.  Generally you want your household income lower for a higher PTC entitlement.

Your ranting post makes very little sense, but I suspect that you chose to pay your TurboTax fees from your federal refund and now the refund has either been delayed or seized by the IRS for back taxes or child support you owe.  If that is what happened, the IRS will be sending you a letter to explain why your refund was offset.   If you chose to pay your fees from a federal refund, you also signed and agreed that if your refund was not issued or was delayed, that TurboTax could take its fees from your account.       TURBOTAX TOOK MONEY OUT OF MY  ACCOUNT Did you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund?  Is your refund taking an unusually long time to arrive?  Or was your refund seized to pay a debt you owed? if so, you signed an agreement that says TT can withdraw its fees from your account.  TurboTax would have sent several emails to you before they took the money out of your account.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/bank-account-auto-debited-turbotax-fees/L3rDdVynu_US_en_US?uid=m6bdgedq   TURBOTAX SAYS: How do you justify debiting my account? The provision is spelled out in the Pay With My Refund Agreement, which you agreed to when you opted to pay with your refund. In addition, by clicking the "I Agree" button below, you electronically sign and authorize Intuit (through its third party processor) to debit the TurboTax Fees, Additional Products and Services Purchased and any applicable sales tax from your bank account number identified in the Agreement below, in the event that you do not receive a tax refund that is sufficient to pay for them.       How can I see my TurboTax  fees?      https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/review-fees-turbotax-online/L1XnIzgzg_US_en_US?uid=m682vq7k

Hello!!  My daughter is an Illinois resident but in  2024 she had a summer job in Minnesota.  Illinois and Minnesota are NOT "reciprocal" states.  I know that my daughter files as a permanent resident of Illinois and she is filing her Illinois state return.  Here is my question:  Is she REQUIRED to file a return with Minnesota as well, or can she choose not to (if she doesn't want to try to reclaim some of the tax collected)?  Thanks so much!!

Am I understanding your situation correctly?  If I am not understanding correctly, please advise.   You are a resident of state A and you own one or more rental properties in state B, a nonresident state.  Some portion of your rental proceeds have been reported to you on an IRS form 1099-K.   If the above is correct, state B has a claim on the rental income within its borders.  State A will also claim the rental income as your resident state.  State A may allow a credit for taxes paid to another state.   You may consider reporting the IRS form 1099-K within the rental activity.  You may consider reporting under Cash, check, and electronic payments rather than Form 1099-K if you believe that the entry is disrupting your tax return.     @PhyllisRollins   
Thanks, that is useful.  The DAF sponsor used the term average daily price but if that the same as Comparitive Sales with the IRS, perfect!

The IRS uses your prior year AGI to combat fraud.      You can find your 2023 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by: Looking at line 11 on page 1 of your 2023 Form 1040 Requesting a transcript of your 2023 tax return from the IRS. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript    Please click on this TurboTax article for more information.    Check these items as well to ensure you have the correct number.  If you:  Filed late last year after mid-November or your return was processed after that time—try entering 0.  Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A).  Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less.  Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2023 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter  0  for one of you).    Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return.    This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.
