Agreed. Windows 11 is supposed to be a security update, but it has the most un-secure features that I will not use. So did Microsoft make a deal with Intuit?? 1. I do not want my personal files moved to Windows system servers for supposed safe keeping. More likely to use their AI and come up with more BS. 2. Windows 11 forces all their AI tools. 3. Forced Windows account. 4. Etc. To bypass all the hardware requirements and minimize problems with Windows 11, you have to use a tool like "rufus", but even so, you're still stuck with Microsoft. I cancelled my subscription. I'd rather do my taxes on paper before I go to Windows 11. I'll be moving to Linux.   This is not for security, it is for Microsoft's benefit.

You might have an unrealistic expectation of what you can deduct for a refinance.  You can deduct the same things you could deduct for a new mortgage:  Property tax, mortgage interest, and loan origination points.   You cannot deduct fees such as  closing costs, appraisals, inspections, title searches, etc .       https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/homeowner-tax-credits-deductions/refinancing-home-affect-taxes/L6CdUQebj_US_en_US?uid=mh6qh7ul       https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/taxation/kinds-refinancing-costs-deduct/L72OyCEZq_US_en_US?uid=mh6qikwa     And...your itemized deductions have an effect on your tax due or refund ONLY if your itemized deductions exceed your standard deduction.     2024 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS SINGLE $14,600    (65 or older/legally blind + $1950) MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY            $14,600    (65 or older/legally blind + $1550) MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $29,200    (65 or older/legally blind + $1550) HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $21,900    (65 or older/legally blind + $1950)    

If someone already used your SSN on a tax return and the return was accepted by the IRS, the IRS will reject your own e-filed return.   Prepare your return and print, sign and mail it in.  The IRS will sort out the duplicate use of your Social Security number.     If you have not yet prepared the return, it is too late to use online TurboTax, but you can still use the desktop download on a full PC or Mac. DOWNLOAD (This requires a full PC or Mac—-cannot be used on a mobile device)   https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/   You can also purchase the desktop download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.   This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.   When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return.  You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return.    When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.    

There is never a deduction for regular commuting, at the federal level or any state I know of, for employees or self-employed.    Your commute is your daily drive to and from your main place of work.  That is never deductible, even if it is long an expensive, it's your choice to work at that location so it's just ordinary non-deductible living expenses.     If you drive to other locations for temporary work, that used to be deductible but is not deductible any more at the federal level for W-2 employees.  You can still enter the deduction in Turbotax because some states will allow the deduction in some situation.  Turbotax will apply the deduction if you qualify and would benefit, but there are other limitations.  It should be on the Deductions and Credits page under work-related expenses.  You need to have accurate mileage records of your work trips such as a log with the date, time, mileage, and business purpose.  You can't include your commute.  A detailed list of rules is found in chapter 4 of publication 463. https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-publication-463   If you are self-employed, you still can't deduct your commute to and from your main place of work.  You can deduct mileage for trips to other, temporary work sites.  In some cases, your home may be your "main place of work" and you can deduct most work mileage.  This is also discussed in chapter 4.  This deduction would be under car expenses in the Self-employment-Schedule C interview. 

The TurboTax online 2024 editions have closed so you cannot complete or file a 2024 tax return using the online editions.   To complete and file a 2024 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase. download and install on a personal computer, Window or Mac, one of the 2024 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/   A 2024 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.    

No.  The deadline to start a new  2024 return using online TurboTax was October 15.    If you need to prepare a 2024 return, you can use the desktop download on a full PC or Mac.   E-filing for 2024 returns will close permanently at the end of October; after that a 2024 return will have to be filed by mail.   DOWNLOAD (This requires a full PC or Mac—-cannot be used on a mobile device)   https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/   You can also purchase the desktop download from various retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Staples, Sam’s Club, etc. etc. etc.   This link Where can I obtain authentic TurboTax software? has a list of authorized TurboTax resellers.   When you use desktop software, there is an additional fee to e-file a state return.  You can avoid that fee if you print, sign and mail the state return.   

@adityain2003 , Namaste ji   1.  What are you doing here in the USA ---   I ask because J visa based  exemption  ( article 22 of US-India tax treaty ) is applicable ONLY to  Profs./ Researchers etc. and with some conditions on type of research.  2. Generally this exemptions from US tax including application of "savings clause" is pretty much based on a two year term starting from the day the J-1 holder enters the US.   From the language in the treaty and the technical explanation thereof, one probably cannot pick and choose which part of the two years to ask for exemption.   My ref. for this is  US-India Tax Treaty -->  PUB3434 (REV. 7-1999) Technical Explanation of the Convention and Protocol Between the United States of America and the Republic of India for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion With Respect to Taxes on Income Signed at New Delhi On September 12, 1989   Is there more I can do for you ?   You can either add  to this thread or if you wish private answers you can PM me -- just NO PII ( Personally Identifiable Information).   Namaste ji   pk

Also, in addition to what has been posted in other threads, the product you mentioned, and for which a link was provided, appears to be an iPhone app and not everyone who uses (used, actually) ItsDeductible has or used an iPhone in conjunction with the program.    I realize that they will consider other platforms if there is sufficient demand but that's cold comfort for ItsDeductible users who currently use other platforms in conjunction with ItsDeductible.

@M-MTax thank you for calling out the issues with the link.   And yes, couldn't agree more that import INTO TurboTax would be amazing! From what I've heard, it's on the roadmap, but agree this is a must.
