It seems like lying to the IRS to have the company credit card pay for the bill but only report a portion of it on schedule C? I just want to make sure I set things up correctly from the start. Thank you for responding!

A single member LLC is a "disregarded entity" for IRS purposes.  As a result, the payment method is irrelevant to the way the expense is entered on the tax return (you pay cash; you pay on your own MasterCard; you pay on a Capital One MasterCard with XYZ LLC on it).  The IRS looks at the payment coming from the taxpayer and the amount of the business expense gete entered on Schedule C.

Not sure exactly what you are trying to do.   If your daughter did not have a job, then she has no earned income to enter on a 2023 tax return.   Did she have any other kind of income---like Social Security benefits?   If she had no income at all for 2023 then she needs to tell the lender that she had no income.

Found a work-around for my situation.  The "Federal Review" in the desktop version was stuck with the error messages saying "Stdref is estimated" and "Itmref is estimated" with both pointing to the same federal "Tax Summary" page.  There were three items in the state return marked as estimates.  Removing those state estimates cured the Federal Review issues with the federal "Tax Summary".

Hi @mpinsonneau  Use this link and select "access it here": https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/2022/ Here's some other troubleshooting steps you can try: Troubleshoot TurboTax Desktop for Windows issues and if you continue to have troubles, here's how you can contact us.   

I'm a little confused. So if someone pays using the business credit card but then adusts the expense lower on the tax return, wouldn't the business still be paying 100% of the internet bill but only reporting part of it to the IRS?    I'm just trying to understand because I have a very similar situation.

I have the repro on my compute after upgrade TurboxTax Home & Business 2024, in the evening of 10/06/2025. After upgrading, TurboxTax, it keeps asking me to activate, while I did activate it on Jan 18, 2025. It says 5/5 activation used. Of course, my computer is the first 1 or 2 in the group of 5. The problem is why the updated version cannot recognize the already-activated status. fyi, I purchased from Costco on Jan 18, 2025 -- zheng

If you are using the Online version you need to upgrade to Premium to enter a K-1.   To enter a K-1 go to Federal Taxes Tab or Personal (Home & Business version) Wages and Income Scroll down to S-corps, Partnerships, and Trusts or to Business items Schedules K-1, Q - Click the Start or Update button   Be sure to pick the right kind of K-1. There are 3 kinds, 1041, 1065 & 1120S

Do you mean your tax returns?  Those are not in the Documents.   How to Access prior year online returns https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/27010 If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2024 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2024. I had to go though about 12 screens. If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups. Or request a transcript from the IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript Or get a copy of your return using form 4506 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

What "tax documents" are you trying to access?   TurboTax does not have copies or images of your tax documents like W-2's or 1099's etc.   TT only has the information that you entered.   It can be found on the various forms and worksheets that are part of the pdf of the tax return.       I NEED A COPY OF MY W-2  (or 1099)      W-2's come from employers.  There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s.     TurboTax does not have a copy of your W-2—the Wage & Tax Statement—issued to you by your employer, (nor does TurboTax have copies of your 1099’s).   Whether you entered your W-2 by keying it in yourself, importing from a payroll site or by snapping a photo using the mobile app—-TT does not have a copy of your W-2.  If you saved a pdf of your completed tax return, the worksheets will show the W-2 information you entered, but not the actual W-2.      You should always save those documents for your own records. You could ask the employer(s) for copies or you can get a copy from Social Security (for a fee of $62).   To get a copy of a W-2 from Social Security https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501   https://www.irs.gov/help-resources/tools-faqs/faqs-for-individuals/frequently-asked-tax-questions-answers/irs-procedures/transcript-or-copy-of-form-w-2/transcript-or-copy-of-form-w-2     You can get a wage and income transcript from the IRS:  It will not show the actual W-2, 1099’s, etc, but will show the income information the IRS received.  It will not, however, show your state information. It will only show the federal information. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript   Or you can pay the IRS $30 for an actual copy of your tax return which will include copies of your W-2’s      https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf      https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/get-copy-w-2/L8FTim9MO_US_en_US?uid=m68ee4os        There are over a dozen kinds of 1099's.  A 1099NEC is typically issued by an individual or business for whom you performed work as an independent contractor, so seek a copy from them if you did not save yours.  Many of the other types of 1099's are issued by banks, brokerages and other financial institutions from which you can seek copies.     Other documents such as 1098's can be sought from the source that issued them; they may be available on the websites of the issuers.  

It is not at all clear what all you have done or still need to do.    You are not explaining clearly.     When you say you have an extension for "the year before" are you referring to tax year 2023?   Did you try to prepare a 2023 return --- did you e-file it or not?   "It was not corrected properly"----do you mean it was rejected when you tried to e-file?    Did you try to make corrections and e-file it again before the October 2024 filing deadline for 2023 returns?   If you did not fix it and e-file, it is too late to e-file it now.   E-filing is permanently closed for 2023 and the return will have to be filed by mail.   And what have you done with 2024?   You say that you "have a W-2 for 2024," but that "nothing was direct deposited."   What happened with your 2024 return?   Was the return e-filed and accepted?  Or was it rejected?   DID YOU E-FILE?   Did you e-file?   Did you go through all three steps of the FILE section and click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”     When you e-file your return you will get two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say your return has been transmitted; the second one will tell you the IRS has accepted  or rejected your federal e-file.  If you filed a state return, there will be a third email (usually a day or two later) that tells you if the state e-file was accepted or rejected.   Check your e-file status:   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/    What does it say in your account?  Does it show that the return was accepted?   Or does it say something else---like "rejected," "printed," or "ready to mail?”       Please explain clearly what you did for 2023 and 2024 so that we can help.
