@DawnC I'm using Part VI (Section 48). The IRS instructions for Form 3468 states that we can e-file and separately mail in the paper statement under Form 8453. (Form 8453 hasn't been updated to add newer 3468 attachments, but the 3468 instructions supersede that and we can leave the boxes unchecked and still use it). I hope you'll accommodate that, otherwise I won't be able to use your service. Please refer to the Note at the bottom of the IRS instructions excerpt below. Under "Purpose of Form": Complete a separate Form 3468 to claim an investment credit for each facility or property. You must complete Part I to report facility or property information and the appropriate part (Part II–VII) to compute your investment credit for such facility or property. Part II—Qualifying Advanced Coal Project Credit, section A. Part II—Qualifying Gasification Project Credit, section B. Part III—Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Credit. Part IV—Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit. Part V—Clean Electricity Investment Credit, sections A through C. Part VI—Energy Credit, sections A through N. Part VII—Rehabilitation Credit. Note: If you are an individual and file electronically, you must send in a paper Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return, if attachments are required for Form 3468.

2025 tax year:  My husband passed away, I rolled his funds into my existing traditional IRA.  I received two 1099's, one for each of the "before" accounts, listing correctly the withdrawal amount and the same number as taxable.  However when I enter the two 1099's into TT, and specify for my combined account "inherited", it changes the correct taxable amount to zero.  If I remove the indication of "inherited" then the income and taxable amount is correct.   This is my first year using turbotax, and I'm not impressed.  Scheduled a call, which never happened.  Then had another call, spent over an hour with someone who took 50 minutes to understand the problem with no help.   Would love some assistance.

I tried to e-file but it won't let me because it says I need to update the software (Desktop Deluxe version purchased from Sam's Club). I cannot find the 'online' menu that it mentions anywhere in the software. When I quit the software to go back and try again, I cannot find my return. Please help!

Hi @RogerD1,   Thank you for your help. My sister was able to find Walgreens employment started in June 1999. This implies that the Walgreens stock given were almost 3-4 months after the stock split. Hence, this should not impact the number of shares. In addition, there was no reinvestment of dividends.             For some reason, I cannot enter 'Various" and '08/28/25' in Form 8949, Part II (b) and (c) (highlighted above).   Thank you so much for your help. This was really helpful.   Regards, Tulane

Thanks.  It's rentable but I'm not rushing it.  There are several shared areas so I tend to make sure that we will get along.  I've been very spoiled in the past (mainly word of mouth) so hesitant when attempting just thru advertising again. 
This doesn't answer my question at all. 
Sorry it plugs in the extension *.tax2025    
Thanks for the input! Other than these 3-forms (8938, FBAR, and 3520); are there any other forms I should be concerned with?

Thank you for your response.  I followed your advice.  I have seen so many different opinions about whether or not the refund is taxable and possible conditions determining whether it is taxable that my head was spinning. Ultimately, I finally decided to follow your advice and report the income as federally taxable. Thanks again.
If the property was ready and available for rental use, don't skip a year.
And are you the age you have to take the RMD Required Minimum Distribution?  Those questions can be confusing.

The questions for the entry of IRS form 1099-R vary based upon the entries in box 1 and box 2a and the many codes that are reported in box 7.   Entries vary depending upon whether the distribution is an IRA, an annuity or one of several qualified pensions.   What question do you have?  Are you reporting code 7 in box 7?  If not, what are you reporting?  Do you report entries in box 1 and box 2a?  Please clarify.

Thank you, @JohnB5677, @LeticiaF1 for your suggestions. I tried deleting all the items you mentioned but still kept getting the same error "Invalid characters in path 'Premier 2025'  when retrying the install. I also ran a search on the entire file system for 'Premier 2025' and deleted all the files containing that reference, but the problem persisted. Then I deleted all of the registry keys associated with Intuit products including TT, also all folders in the file system associated with Intuit. Again, I kept getting the same error on re-running the install. This thing was like a zombie in a horror movie that just keeps coming at you! I have no idea where that pathname was stored. Finally, the only thing that worked was a complete reinstall of Windows 11, wiping all applications and settings. Actually, in my case, a "PC reset" using the factory reset feature on my HP laptop. Luckily, I had just purchased this laptop specifically to get my taxes done, so nothing was lost (except the evil TT zombie - mmwwwhahahaha).    Following the "PC reset", I did successfully re-download and re-install TT2025, this time making sure to use only the default install location to avoid tempting fate yet again.   Thank you again for responding to my cry for help!
Only if you are taking standard deduction. If you are itemizing, it is not excess.

We are updating the message, credit amount, and the 7220 requirement for e-filing Form 3468.   However, if you checked the box on line 7a or 8b to claim an increased tax credit amount in Part V or Part VI, you must also attach a statement for each facility, energy storage technology, or energy project, to your return.    TurboTax doesn't allow PDF attachments, so in those cases, the return can't be e-filed using TurboTax.  Which part, II - VII (which credit), are you claiming?       Form 3468:  You must complete Part I to report facility or property information and the appropriate part (Part II–VII) to compute your investment credit for such facility or property.   Sections:   Part II—Qualifying Advanced Coal Project Credit, section A. Part II—Qualifying Gasification Project Credit, section B. Part III—Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Credit. Part IV—Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit. Part V—Clean Electricity Investment Credit, sections A through C. Part VI—Energy Credit, sections A through N. Part VII—Rehabilitation Credit.

If your employer provided more than $50,000 of group term life insurance coverage, the amount included in your income is reported as part of your wages in box 1 of Form W-2.  Therefore, it is included in adjusted gross income.  It is also shown separately in box 12 with code C.   See this IRS Publication here.   The TaxBook states:  Maine begins with Federal adjusted gross income (AGI).   Maine has no adjustments for the taxable cost of group term life insurance and I find no direct references to the taxable income on the Maine website.  I believe that it is taxed by Maine.   What is your understanding of the matter?
