You will lose and you will be the one that needs to pay the credit back.   The IRS did open it for a short time for dealers to report, however, if they did not choose to report, the IRS has not issued additional guidance on what taxpayers can do to resolve this.   For  now, what you can try is to print and mail your return along with form 8936, 8936 Schedule A, and proof of purchase that includes the date, price, VIN and dealer information.  This will allow your return to be received by the IRS and let them look at it to determine how to handle your EV credit. 

Please follow these steps:   Click on "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R” Click on “Jump to 1099-R” and enter your 1099-R On the "Required Minimum Distribution" screen enter RMD for this account ($8,011.12) On the "How much of This Distribution Applied to your December 31, 2024 RMD" select "Some of this distribution…" and enter the RMD amount ($8,011.12) On the “What Did You Do With The Money” and choose “I moved it to another retirement account” Then choose “I did a combination of rolling over, converting, or cashing out money.” and enter the returned amount of $6,817.74 next to "Amount rolled over to another (or back to the same) retirement account" On the "Your 1099-R Entries" screen click "Continue" On the "Did You Miss a Required Distribution From Any Retirement Accounts?" screen select "None of these plans failed to withdraw the RMD" if you met all of your RMD for 2024.    If you are still having issues then you might have to only enter full $ amounts without the cents.

As you can see from the screenshot in the previous post, Tax Tools is no longer available on the left side of the screen. Has the option been removed? How do print all of the tax worksheets in Premium online?

Thanks MarilynG1, it's not that I think TT needs them,  but when I wanted to go back an verify the information, if I open each one, the account number is not visible, only the FEIN. I did find that in the Import Summary, if I expand the Schwab accounts, it provides a list, each with account number.  I don't quite get what you are saying about making a one-line manual entry for the totals. Are you saying TT doesn't need to show all that information from each account, only the total gains or loss of ALL the accounts combined, and that there is a way to do that? Otherwise, please help me understand what you mean. I'm already done but it would be good to know. Thanks!

@DaveF1006    Can you please clarify your statement below "so even if you met the withholding requirement, timing could still impact whether a penalty applies" I can't find this language anywhere. My understanding was withholdings were always considered even payments.    However, if your AGI exceeded $150,000, the threshold increases to 110% of the prior year's tax. Additionally, the IRS requires estimated tax payments to be made quarterly, so even if you met the withholding requirement, timing could still impact whether a penalty applies.      

Enter all of your Pension Income and IRAs, etc., from your non-military1099-Rs. The maximum pension deduction in Maine is $45836 per recipient for 2024, but that deduction is reduced by the amount of Social Security/Railroad Retirement benefits received.  TurboTax will automatically reduce your qualifying pension income by the amount from Social Security/Railroad Retirement to arrive at your pension deduction.

Even if a brokerage firm is within TurboTax partners, the importing feature doesn't always work successfully. The software tries is best to pull information from your account. However, sometimes there's miscommunication linking both accounts while trying to retrieve your information. If this is the case, you will need to choose a different uploading method. See link below for further instructions    How do I import my 1099s?  

If all three of the following are true, your refund counts as taxable income(may not be the entire amount): You itemized deductions last year, instead of taking the standard deduction. You claimed state and local income taxes (not general sales taxes). Claiming the deduction helped you increase your federal refund or lower your tax bill. TurboTax will calculate the taxable amount when you answer the questions about last year's refund. 

Well.......... IF the military member has a state of legal residence (SLR) that is NOT KS, then the civilian spouse can also claim that non-KS SLR  (if living at the same post).   1) Usually you do not indicate you "moved" to KS in the Personal Info section.  As far as the military and KS are concerned, you remained a "resident" of your non-KS  SLR state all year.  So do not indicate you resided in KS during 2024  (the mailing address in KS is okay, it's not used for anything but mailings)   2)  IF....if the military person works an off-duty civilian job, then that work requires a non-resident KS tax return and only that income is subject to KS taxes.   3) IF the Civilian spouse worked in KS, then....if he/she filed the proper paperwork with that employer, then no KS taxes were withheld, and no KS non-resident tax return is required.   But, that income is usually included on the couple's SLR state's tax return, and is usually taxed (but not always).   4) to avoid KS withholding for the Civilian spouse that is working in KS, he/she should fill out the KS withholding form K-4, claiming exemption on line 6 of that form, under MSRRA, and file that with their employer.   _______________________________ Read the help articles at:   What is my state of residence as a military spouse?   Where can I find state information on filing my return as an active duty military member?   What is my military state of residence?    

This really doesn't answer my question. I obviously know they are charging us for the state returns and the option to avoid them is to print the returns and mail them. This is what I'm forced to do now. But the question is, why do they charge us? Does it cost Turbotax to process these returns that they feel they need to pass on to the customer? Or do they just do it to earn extra revenue?
