Since it is non-passive business income, it is probably from an interest in a normal business. Such income would normally be reported on a Form 1099-NEC if you were a material participant in the business, or a Form 1099-MISC if you had a passive interest in the business. If you don't have those forms, you can enter the income in the self-employed income section of TurboTax if you materially participate in the business. Otherwise, you can enter it as "other income" as follows:   1. From the Federal menu in TurboTax find Wages and Income  2. Find Less Common Income 3. Choose Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C 4. Choose Other Reportable Income 5. Enter a description of the income and enter the amount   

In general, no, there is not a place for that.     To be able to claim an expense for clothing related to your business, it must be a uniform, safety gear, or other type of specialty clothing that would not reasonably be able to be worn for personal or non-business purposes.  

Thank you very much @AmyC  for your expert guidance.  I've read through your post on filing an amendment, and also read the reply that suggested taking a backup of my tax file prior to any changes, using a different file name.  I'll do that.  The instructions for amending answered a follow-up question I had on how TT would compute our additional refund - specifically that it will start at $0 refund and only reflect the updated amount.     I have been a TurboTax customer since the floppy disk days and this is the first year in all that time I've had any issues.  I had a couple this year and was contemplating moving to a different tax solution for 2025.  Your kind support and good answer might have saved my business!  THANKS. 

If you only purchased Ethereum (ETH) and withdrew it immediately without selling, trading, or using it for transactions, you  do not need to report it as taxable income. The IRS generally considers taxable events to include:   Selling cryptocurrency for fiat currency (USD, etc.).  Trading one cryptocurrency for another. Using cryptocurrency to purchase goods or services. Earning cryptocurrency through mining, staking, or rewards. However, the IRS does ask taxpayers to answer a digital asset question on their tax return, even if they didn’t engage in taxable transactions. You need to check “No” on the form if you only purchased and withdrew ETH without any taxable events.   From Coinbase.com

Thanks Amy.  i have a few more questions regarding the 1041 if you are able to help.   I have a 1099-OID along with 1099-INT.  I put the 1099-int into estate Turbotax, but there is not an area to put 1099-OID information.  I have amounts under  Acquisition Premium and Tax-Exempt OID.  How should these be inputted into 1041 in Turbotax?   Secondly, there will be a loss on line 23 of 1041 after including the deductions.  Does the loss get carryforward or how is it handled?     I appreciate your help.    

Sorry, but you did not read your packaging closely enough.   There is always--always--always--a state e-file fee when you use desktop software.  Your download included the program to prepare state returns.  E-filing the state returns is an extra fee.  You can avoid the state e-file fee if you print and mail the state.

Hey @fanfare - I appreciate the response.    1. To be clear, I understood from @DanaB27  I DO need to amend my 2023 return to include the $200 of income from MY 1099R, but NOT my wife's 1099R. That's what I was referring to.   Your #2. So I withdrew the money in 2024, and contributed as normal for 2024. My understanding is that I will pay the 6% fee on the excess contribution and that should be it?
