Did you try the solution provided by actoutloud.  I have copied it here for easy reference, "   TLDR: Try reviewing your expenses in the miscellaneous section in the TurboTax wizard (not the Schedule C they provide during the review section). If there are items that are categorized anywhere in the miscellaneous section with zero dollars entered, delete those fields. (I had multiple categories automatically added for me when I linked my bank account with TurboTax. As a result, it generated a bunch of categories with $0.)"   @Roggers 

If you enter -1 (the correct 2023 loss) on the Carryover Wks, that gets entered on the QBI summary and on Form 8995.    So, what is not correct about your Form 8995?       Whatever loss amount I enter on the carryover wks gets populated on both Form 8995 and the QBI summary.   

Yes, that is correct. Don't get me wrong we have had to pay into. Like for 2024 I owe $813.00 and husband owes $1,921. It's not like we are getting money back. You're right I do need a better tax advisor. I just don't know what to from here on out!  Someone just told from here on out to file married filing jointly so I will do that for 2025. Any advice 

Do you need the details?   The Online version only gives you Form 4562. Form 4562 is just a Summary of the Depreciation for the current year and doesn't list the items. If you need to see the details,   You need to use the Desktop program. Using the Desktop program you can get an Asset Life History worksheet but you have to do it in Forms Mode, click Forms in the upper right (upper left for Mac)  You can't get detailed worksheet showing all the assets but you can get the Asset Life History on each one. It doesn't print out with your return or save in the pdf.  So you have to print each Asset Life History individually.

TurboTax prepares a worksheet based on Form 8829 Expenses for Business Use of Your Home. You can find this worksheet and Form 8829 in the forms of your TurboTax Online return. To view/print these forms, see How do I get a PDF of my return? Be sure to choose the option to include all forms and worksheets.

Yes you enter everything on the federal side.  One reason is because state estimated payments can be a federal itemized deduction.  There is a separate spot for state payments and you gave to pick the right state.  It will flow over to the state return.   To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January for the prior year, go to Federal on left or at top (Personal for Home & Business) Deductions and Credits Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid Estimated Taxes - click the start button   Federal Estimated payments should be on 1040 line 26.   You enter state estimated payments under the federal side (because they can be a federal itemized Deduction).  THEN after you finish filling out the estimates under Federal you need to click on the State Tab at the top and start the state return over for it to update.  

Yes, you should file Married Filing Jointly, not single.  The W-4 form is used to provide information to your employer so that they can determine how much to withhold from your paychecks. If you put that you're married, and that only one of you work, that impacts how much taxes are withheld.   You can calculate how much you should have withheld by using the TurboTax W-4 Calculator 2024. The W-4 form is used to provide information to your employer so that they can determine how much to withhold from your paychecks.   Refer to the TurboTax Blog Understanding Your Withholding Allowance on Your Form W-4 and What Is a W-4 Form? for more information.

Where do I find my AGI?   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947   Your 2023 tax return shows your 2022 Adjusted Gross Income  (AGI)  If you filed a joint return then the AGI is the same for each of you.   Form 1040        line 11   If entering the amount from your 2023 tax return does not work, then try entering “0” instead.  If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.   You can get a free transcript of your past return from the IRS:   https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript Note: If you filed late or amended your return, your correct 2023 AGI may not be in the system. 

"Our W4, We both been filling single and even when we file 1040,"   So---really----ever since you got married in 2011 you have both been filing your own tax returns and telling the IRS you were single?    And some "advisor" said since you have been filing incorrect returns for years you should just keep filing incorrectly?   You need a better tax advisor.

Ok, I will make sure that we file 2025 1040 as married filing jointly. Thank you and I will seek a tax professional because the tax advisor that did my taxes last year told me to continue filling single. I will find a way to fix this 

hey man, does that work for you>? I think you want to apply the NY state estimate tax, not the federal one. because they have 2 estimate tax, one paid to federal, one paid to state. In your case, it is state, why still go to the federal level?
