Je n'ai que des achats, pas de vente. j'avais remplis les section requises 1-2-3-7, mais on dirait que le logiciel a fermé le formulaire puisqu'il n'avait pas de montant ni de GC. alors je me demande si le logiciel a soumis le formulaire à RQ en même que ma déclaration. ou si je dois poster le formulaire à l'ancienne.

@lishen Yes I have Capital losses from my T5008.  If your T936 line 68140 was zero before then check it now and see if it has been populated with the total of all your box 21 T3 entries.  Also make sure box 21 equals box 53 and you don’t have anything in box 52.

Hi. I’ve been with TURBO TAX for years and years. Unfortunately, I can’t find my answer anywhere. I’m 67 and retired 2025. Trying to understand how to avoid a huge capital gain tax (CGT) hit this year  if I sell my SECOND home, and don’t want to wait until the end of the year to file with you and get the shock of my life. 🙂   Approximate/simple numbers: For 2025, Social Security income $35,000, plus adjusted SSI  from 2024 but paid in 2025, $15,000: TOTAL SSI $50,000 Final job pay for January: $6,000.     I plan to sell my house (owned 25 years). It’s a second home, paid $200k. let’s say profit  after all deductions is, $500,000. Here are my questions: 1) Is SSI counted toward total income when IRS determines income? It appears this would be a difference in paying 0% CGT or 20%*. If SSI isn’t counted, does that really mean I don’t have to pay ANY CGT AT ALL since my non SSI income under $48,350? 2) Can you confirm that a second home does not have the wonderful $250k deduction/exclusion? 3) If I DO have to pay CGT on the $500,000 profit (whine!), what are my options other than get married, delay the sale, or make the house my primary residence for two years? Can I invest the $500,000 in an IRA and avoid CGT? Then slowly withdraw as I need it and pay regular taxes vs the huge hit?)? Just looking at any options or suggestions. 4) Is CGT based on what I SELL IT FOR, or its market value? 5) Are my monthly SSI checks reduced because of sale of house profits? 6) Right now, I’m not having taxes taken from SSI as I’m confused on what IRS considers taxable. I read that it is only HALF of total SSI, or am I misunderstanding that? I think these are questions that a lot of folks have and will benefit from your answers. lThank you!

Thank you for answering my question. I do have another question. Since I forgot to include my estimated state quarterly payments to my tax return, the amount that was owed has already been withdrawn from my checking account. How long do I wait to see if my State catches my error and refunds me before I file an amendment?

Yes, I just successfully netfiled! I first checked the calculation and it matched my calculations. And I also undid the rounding TT told me to do when I was on the phone with them. But I kept the  change to blank out box 52 and add to box 53 (made sure it equals box 21).  I had done this already before my initial Netfile attempt last week and believe this still necessary according to CRA. 
Je croirais que oui, mais j'ai transmis hier en effaçant les gains en capitaux sur le T3 et j'attends quelques jours avant de retransmettre.

Q. At what point in the Easy Step "walk me through everything" will Form 8615 pop up?   Trying to find it in the Easy Step table of contents. A. It does not come up in "Easy Step".  It's a background thing, depending on where the unearned income is entered. If the parent's info is needed, TurboTax will generate new interview questions. 
I completed and E filed my taxes on 4/14/25. I just checked and found out they were not submitted. Why?

This AC unit was purchased because the original unit failed and renters were suffering.  I was restoring property to original condition, not trying to make upgrade or improvement.  I consider this to be a repair and want to expense it that way.  Additionally, I am retired and have had no tax liability for 2 years now.  Nothing changes on my return but now I have to pay someone to do my taxes b/c I do not know how to do this.
If your spouse does not have income, then she would not need to file a return.  NC is not a community property state so your income is not her income when it comes to taxes.
