The application of a passive carryover loss for a California rental property is shown on the California Schedule E Worksheet under the Activity Summary Smart Worksheet. Passive carryover losses appear on Line G of that worksheet. You may wish to review this worksheet for the tax return in question to verify the loss was applied correctly.   Also check the Carryover to 2024 Smart Worksheet at the bottom of the CA Sch E Worksheet to determine if there was a passive loss carryover for tax year 2024.    If that loss wasn't carried over to the current year Sch E Worksheet, you can manually enter this on the current year worksheet (Carryovers to 2024 Smart Worksheet, Line G). This can be done in TurboTax Desktop using Forms Mode.

You and everybody else.  I remember first asking "why no Mac version" for at least 15 years - and nothing ever gets done.  I suspect that unlike the regular TT versions, the Business version doesn't have enough customers to make a Mac version profitable enough.  I've been making do with running the Windows version inside a Parallels virtual machine and that's served me well for years.  But I'm starting to be in a bind since Apple moved to an ARM based architecture, so it can't run an x86 based Windows operating system anymore.  There is a Windows-for-ARM operating system that can supposedly run x86 apps in emulation mode, but I haven't dared to try it.  Instead, I've been keeping an x86 Mac around - just to run TT Business once every year :(

@turbotaxexpert This issue troubled me enough that we decided to do our taxes at H&R Block this year. This issue did not come up using that software. Seeing as TT has opted not to fix this issue, I am considering filing a complaint with our local attorney general's office.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing this. It did fix my filing to CRA but I noticed it really messed up the Quebec R1 so it will be interesting to see how filing Quebec return goes. Turbo Tax really needs to fix this issue or a bunch of us will be abandoning turbo tax. 

Hello. This is our Form 1120S; I don't think it would show up under the IRS Individual Online Account. Also, the certificate I am referring to above, was generated by Turbo Tax (for 1040 filings) not IRS. Isn't a similar certificate generated for 1120S returns showing the dates for submission and acceptance of e-filings? Thanks.

No.  You cannot e-file with form 4582 per the IRS.  Authorized IRS e-file providers are prohibited from submitting electronic returns to the IRS prior to the receipt of all Forms W-2, W-2G, and 1099-R from the taxpayer. If the taxpayer is unable to secure and provide a correct Form W-2, W-2G, or 1099-R, the return may be electronically filed after Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, or Form 1099-R, Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc. is completed in accordance with the use of that form. This is the only time information from Pay stubs or Leave and Earning Statements (LES) is allowed.

Once your return is filed, TurboTax has no control over the processing of your return or the release of your refund.   Here are a couple FAQs to track your refund: When will I get my federal tax refund? How do I track my state refund? Why does Where's My Refund say "approved" but TurboTax still says "accepted"? Why do some refunds take longer than others? What if my IRS refund is taking longer than 21 days?
