You need to keep track of all nondeductible traditional IRA contributions so that you are taxed the correct amount.  It is especially important because if your IRA contains both pre-tax and after-tax money, you cannot choose to withdraw only the tax-free part. The IRS uses a formula to make every withdrawal a proportional mix of both.

If you did not have Form 2210 last year and no underpayment penalty, than you should enter $0 in the "prior year tax" field. If you had an underpayment penalty in 2024, you should enter that amount.   TurboTax calculates your underpayment penalty using Form 2210 based on your current year's information. If you don't file the form, the IRS will calculate it and send you a bill.   See also:   How to Avoid Penalties for Underpayment of Taxes   Why am I getting an underpayment penalty if I'm getting a refund?   What is Form 2210?   Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help.

After entering personal information to purchase a second state tax return, I cannot move on to the billing information, because the little blue box (next?) will not display above the tool bar.  How do I complete the purchase so that I can fill out the second return?  Federal and home state returns have been completed and checked as well as saved.
This is my first year filing, and I was a dependent last year? Do I still need to show the IRS 2024 tax return?

When I report a summary of my transactions from my 1099-B, do I have to adjust the basis with "W" and put in the wash sale disallowed amount from box 1g in as the new adjusted basis? It seems to make a big different in taxes owe since my total transactions has a net loss. Adding the "W" and setting the wash sale total as the new basis significantly increase my taxes owe. Is this expected?

I had entered other data and returned to the wages & income section to enter 1099-B data.  It doesn't matter if I click add an investment, or click or 'review'.  The screen dims a couple of times and then takes me back to the 'Let’s finish pulling in your investment income'.  I've tried deleting the 1099-B reminder to start over, but it does the same thing as soon as soon as I select the 'house' with the 1099-B form, it goes right back to Let’s finish pulling in your investment income.  Very frustrating.

In Pennsylvania, retirement distributions from 401(k) plans and IRAs are generally not taxable at the state level if you have reached age 59½ or full retirement age. If you paid PA state tax on these distributions, you likely overestimated your liability unless specific exceptions applied.  You can file an amended return to make the correction and get your taxes paid refunded.  See How to File an Amended Tax Return with the IRS - TurboTax

When reporting my traditional IRA contribution, TurboTax asked for my total basis.I have multiple IRA accounts for 10 years and I did not consistently contribute every year. I don't remember exactly what the total amount I contributed for past 19 years and I don't remember all the brokers that I have used. Can I simply put a rough estimate for this total amount? What does it impact?

In TurboTax Online, SEP IRA contributions made by your employer, including those you make yourself through self-employment, are treated separately from your personal IRA contributions. You only need to enter SEP IRA contributions related to your self-employment income in the SEP IRA section.   In TurboTax Online, to enter your personal IRA contributions follow these steps: To enter personal IRA contributions: 1. Go to the Federal section. 2. Select Deductions & Credits. 3. Find and open the Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions section. 4. Enter your personal IRA contribution amounts here. To enter SEP IRA contributions (only if you are self-employed): 1. Make sure your self-employment income is entered first. 2. Navigate to the SEP IRA Contributions section by searching for "SEP IRA contributions." 3. Only enter contributions that you made yourself from your self-employment income. 4. Do NOT enter employer SEP IRA contributions here; those are handled automatically and should not be added manually. This way, TurboTax will keep employer SEP contributions separate and not count them against your personal IRA limits.

I received a consolidated 1099 form from Robinhood. There is a 1099-MISC section with box 3 showing $5. I vaguely recall earning this $5 from completing a one time Robinhood in-app survey. When I report this in TurboTax, do I mark this as an intent to earn money? Doing so seems to report this $5 as self-employment income and TurboTax seems to treat it as having a side-hustle and asked a lot of questions about the nature of this work and income. Please advice on how to properly report this.

  @TurboTaxAniqua   Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it did not work. In the Forms Method view, there is no way to "copy and paste data between the rows".  The only action that it allows me to do is a Copy a field (not the whole row), but there is not way to paste it.   Do you know that  your suggestion should work or was that just a guess?
