She isn't referring to removing your child as a dependent on your tax return.  I think she's referring to not claiming a dependent on your W-4 Form as an allowance.  However, the W-4 Form was changed and when allowances were part of the W-4 form, the maximum amount of taxes would be withheld from your paychecks when you claimed 0.   With the new system, you’ll indicate whether you need to withhold more or less than the standard amount. If you have 0 dependents and adjustments, the standard amount will be withheld from your paychecks.  you’ll receive less money on your paychecks, you should have a lower tax bill at the end of the year.   Refer to the TurboTax Blog Understanding Your Withholding Allowance on Your Form W-4 and What Is a W-4 Form? for more information.  

@ThomasM125    My Windows version of TurboTax has these two relevant options for investment income. * Sale of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities. * Employer stock transactions.   I was able to input my 1099-B transactions using the form for "Sale of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities". However, it only has 1 box for cost basis like I mentioned in the previous response so I can only put in one value which is either $0 from my 1099-B box e or I can put in the adjusted basis from the supplemental data form.   The "Employer stock transactions" simply ask for the RSU grant date and it does not take me to any form to fill out the 1099-B information.

To add to that, I've been confused in Turbotax- they are showing the NEC form under "Other Common Income" but also have ti listed under "Self Employment". Can you please explain the difference? I have been confused on which one to select. 

Yes, I was able to do it with TurboTax online. I don't recall how exactly I was able to add the second state return. As I mentioned in my edited comment, I think it allowed me to just add a second entry when I got to the state tax section. There is apparently a way, though!

Once you enter the information on your federal return, you don't need to enter it again on the state return. TurboTax transfers data from your federal return to your state return. Sometimes additional questions regarding the income that you entered will pop up in the state return.  You don't need to enter everything again.   Where do I enter a 1099-MISC?    

Yes, you need to mail your return with Form 8283 if an attached appraisal is required, sorry.   I haven't seen other users post the conflicting info you received, so have no context for this, unfortunately.  Some Form 8283's can indeed be Efiled.   An option would be to Efile without Form 8283, and amend later to add it, or edit your donations to Efileable ones, and amend later for the one requiring a written appraisal and mail.   Here's more info on Form 8283.   @redhawklady
