I'm a little confused by your reply, @DianeW777 . You did not specifically address the Special $25K Allowance (Pub 925, page 5) that I mentioned. I assume that you are saying that this Allowance is applicable only while I have an active rental property, and not after the rental property has been converted to personal use, right? But in the second part of your reply you advise that I "continue to add this to your tax return" until I sell the property. If I add it to the tax return (by having a Schedule E for my property that has been converted to personal use but not sold), then TurboTax will generate a Form 8582, and then the PAL will be applied via the Special $25K Allowance if my income is low enough. So was the second part of your reply applicable only if I have another rental property? BTW, I use TurboTax Desktop, and it had been carrying forward the PAL from year to year automatically, until I deleted the Schedule E when I converted the property to personal use in 2020.

After many years of doing my own taxes, I was frustrated that my code wasn't working. After reading a lot of these threads, some things I found weren't clear after getting help when I called in. I didn't realize that I purchased the "download version" and not the desktop. So the person on the phone sent me a link to download turbotax. The error message that I kept on getting was "Somethings not right try re entering your code". So instead of logging into my account like how I've been doing all these years, I have to download it onto my laptop. I hope this helps and is more clear than some of the responses that you were given. 

That seems to be for the IP Pin.  You can add it and refile.   See this thread https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/ind-181-01-the-identity-protection-pin-ip-pin-for-the-first-taxpayer-on-your-return-is-missing/00/3632271 

For the federal amended return, include only Form 1040-X and any forms or schedules that have changed or are added. Do not include a copy of the original return. For more details see the IRS Instructions for Form 1040-X, especially "Assembling Your Return" on page 11. For New Jersey see "Enclosures with Form NJ-1040X" on page 1 of the Instructions for Form NJ-1040X. Do not use staples, paper clips, or anything else to fasten the pages. Just put all of the pages loose in the envelope.  

Since you say that you "live in New Jersey," New Jersey is most likely your "domicile." If New Jersey is your domicile, and you have a permanent home in New Jersey, you are a full-year resident of New Jersey for income tax purposes, even if you don't spend much time in the state. For more details see pages 2 and 3 of Publication GIT-6.  

I had exactly the same problem and this solution worked for me and allowed me to finally NetFile the affected return.  This issue affected 3 out of 6 T3 Statements and did result in a change to the bottom line with a reduced refund.  I was already uncomfortable with TurboTax insisting on forcing the same value twice in the two T3 box 21 fields Capital Gains and Foreign Capital Gains, which was likely the source of the Errors.     I entered the values in Capital Gains Box 21 and in Capital Gains Boxes 52 & 53 as reported on the T3 Statements.  These are large mutual funds that include both Canadian and Global investments anyway.     This issue has been going on for far too long and despite several updates which were all promised to fix this issue since 17 March it was still showing the same two errors today 17 April.  The return needed to be filed and there is a large refund involved, so we will trust CRA to verify the results and make any changes - the 3 affected T3 Statements are all on file in My Account.     This is a TurboTax software problem and not a CRA Issue!  After 20 years of using QuickTax and TurboTax I plan to use UFile next year for our family member returns.  

They are not deductible on your federal return.   If your state return allows the deduction, you can use the directions below to enter them.   Where do I enter job-related employee expenses? (Form 2106)

You can transfer in your previous years return when you start a return in TurboTax.     Transfer last year's return to TurboTax Desktop for Windows   How do I transfer last year's return into the 2024 TurboTax software for Mac?   How do I transfer last year's return into TurboTax Online?

The province is Alberta and the CPP information is entered in boxes 16 and 16A. When my sister started doing her taxes she selected "Process spouse's return as well?" in order to do her taxes and her husband's. My Sister just has one T4 and her Husband has one T4.
