Yes, you enter that in the Deductions and Credits section, then Estimates and Other Taxes Paid, then Sales Tax. Look for the option to enter Major Purchases where you can enter the sales tax on your vehicle purchase:  

I see several steps that need to be taken in your situation.    1. File an Identity Theft Affidavit with the IRS as soon as possible. You can do it using this website or by submitting Form 14039.  2. I suggest that you report the gross proceeds that are reported on Form 1099-B on your tax return and then use the cost basis to match the proceeds to show zero gain/loss. Of course, you need to do that only for the fraudulent transactions. I would also include a statement to the return that explains what happened, as well as the online submitted form or Form 14039 from #1 above.  This will mean that you have to print and mail your tax return.  3. You also want to inform your financial institution about the fraudulent transactions if you haven't done that yet. They might send you a corrected 1099-B. 4. As for Medicare, if you do not show gain/loss on your tax return as I am suggesting in #1, there will be no inflated income, and thus no changes for Medicare. However, if that is not the case, you could file Form SSA-44, which requests an adjustment based on a life-changing event. 

In TurboTax Home & Business, open your return and go to Business >> Business Income and Expenses >> "I'll choose what I work on." Start/Update Profit or Loss from Business. Edit the business you need to work on. Under Business Expenses, Start/Update Other Common Business Expenses. Start/Update Employee Expenses. Start/Update Pension Plan Startup Costs. Enter "Pension Plan Startup Costs" in the description box and enter the amount. On the next page, check the "yes" box under "Did you provide an auto-enrollment option for retirement savings?" On the page, "Is your pension plan qualified for the Pension Startup Credit?" check the "Yes" button. The resulting message indicates you must go to Less Common Business Situations >> Business Credits >> Pension Plan Startup Costs to complete this credit. @MollyShr 

Who does she live with?  If she lives with you and you are the custodial parent, you can still claim her on the federal return as well,  you just need to mark that the other parent is claiming her.  The only thing the non custodial parent can claim is the child tax credit.  The custodial parent gets the rest of the credits.  If you do not enter her on your federal return, yes, CA allows you to claim dependents on the state return that you did not on your federal return. 

The tax deadline is midnight April 15 in the time zone that the tax return is being sent from.     If you owe taxes payment is expected on or before April 15th.  Any amount owed that is unpaid after April 15th is subject to interest and penalties.   @jpmanansala 

The IRS uses your prior year AGI to combat fraud.      You can find your 2023 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by: Looking at line 11 on page 1 of your 2023 Form 1040 Requesting a transcript of your 2023 tax return from the IRS. You can request your transcript online at the following link: Get Transcript    Please click on this TurboTax article for more information.    Check these items as well to ensure you have the correct number.  If you:  Filed late last year after mid-November or your return was processed after that time—try entering 0.  Amended your return last year—make sure you’re using the AGI from your original return, not the amended one. (If you only have a 1040X form, it’s on line 1, column A).  Rounded your AGI to the nearest dollar—be sure to round up when it’s 50 cents or more and down when it’s 49 cents or less.  Filed with your spouse last year—you and your spouse have the same 2023 AGI. (Don’t split the AGI amount or enter  0  for one of you).    Time-saving Tip: If what you entered is correct and you continue to get a reject, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return.    This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return. 

It depends. If you are the beneficiary of your mother's portion of the estate (formerly your grandmother's)  and this is the reason you received your share of  the proceeds of the sale, you should include the sale on your individual tax return.  See the instructions below and the information about your cost basis. Do I need to file a state return? (click on Oklahoma) There would have been a stepped up basis on the home when it was sold so the fact you received $25,000 doesn't provide your with the inherited value on the date of death which would be your cost basis (your beneficiary share of the cost).    Your cost basis is the fair market value on the date of death of the decedent, plus the capital improvements (not repairs but improvements that are capital in nature).  The expenses of sale will reduce any gain or increase any loss as well. This is entered as the sale of investment property and can be entered as follows. Enter the inherited property sale in TurboTax using the steps provided.   Open or continue your return: Choose the Search box and type 'sale of second home' then use the Jump to link to enter your inherited sale) or follow the menu. In TurboTax Online select 'See more' in the FAQ then click 'sold second home'. Under Wages & Income scroll to Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B) Answer Yes on the Did you sell any stocks, mutual funds, bonds, or other investments in 2024? screen If you land on the Your investment sales summary screen, select Add More Sales On the OK, let's start with one investment type screen, select Other, then Continue On the Tell us more about this sale screen, enter the name of the person or institution that brokered the sale On the next screen, select  Other (choose this also for inherited homes) then select  I inherited it under  How did you receive this investment? (For TurboTax Desktop you can enter a description of 'Inherited Home' and long term holding period). Estate Return: It seems there is no reason to file an estate return since there is really no money in the estate based on your comments. As far as Oklahoma is concerned you can click the link below. Most often a nonresident state return is required if you sell property that is situated there. Again, this assumes you must file your individual return since you got your share of the money and it's unclear if an estate return was filed and tax paid already.
