Thanks for your help. It kept me going until I found the issue.    There is a button under income labeled "Home Sales". I believed I was suppose use that to enter the sale of the rental property. That was incorrect since TB4B was already aware of the rental property from all the previous years that I had filed. Once I removed the data under "Home Sales" everything looked correct. No double taxation now.    Merry Christmas! G

@jdisan   You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.    https://myturbotax.intuit.com/   Start a 2025 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/01/27010     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/save-2021-turbotax-online-return-pdf/L8dHfRkpT_US_en_US?uid=m5y4ch1y   Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery     Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.     hhttps://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/find-last-year-tax-data-file-tax-file-computer/L0XJvPaJr_US_en_US?uid=m6gufxei     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/data-systems/find-tax-data-file-mac/L4VNGm33S_US_en_US?uid=m6guhab0 You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf       SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

@mise88man have you requested your data privacy download.  I've not used ItsDeductible for years but it had my data from 2014.  It may take some days to process, they say up to 15, mine came back in 6.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/access-manage-personal-data-intuit-account/L8nCbA0px_US_en_US

TurboTax gets no information from the IRS or your state after you file your tax return---not if you e-file and not if you file by mail.   Once you file your tax return, TT knows nothing more, nor can TT get any sort of update for you.      You do not mention how long ago you mailed your IL return.  The state of IL is rather slow to process mailed returns.   It could take them several months to process a mailed return.   You have to check with the state refund site.   https://tax.illinois.gov/  

The IRS is not involved with your state tax return.  The IRS is only concerned with your federal tax return.  Your state return is processed by your state.   Contact the state.   To track your state refund:       ttps://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_US_en_US?uid=lt447ebr https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/contact-state-department-revenue/L9qVToi02_US_en_US?uid=m6e06um0

It is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e.  Turbol Tax automatically includes it.

Not only did Intuit discontinue ItsDeductible, they eliminated your ability to go back to the historical data for prior tax years.  Sure, they told you to back up your data; but that only works for people who don't travel and, therefore, have uninterrupted use of their computer.  As for me, I don't travel with my computer and now I have no way to retrieve prior year data.  For the next three plus years, I hope I don't get audited on my charitable deductions.

we are mid December "you indicated it would be ready mid November" and the senior portion for 2025 tax estimate is still not ready? i need this ASAP in order to decide my tax situaiton [email address removed]

Online is only good for the current year. For prior years you need to buy the Desktop program for each year. They only sell the last 3 years. You have to file each year separately. Or go to a local tax place. Or if you have a simple return you can get the blank forms and fill them out by hand. I have the IRS links to most of the years. How to prepare a prior year return https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-prepare-a-prior-year-tax-return/00/25984   To do a prior year return you have to buy the Desktop program here, https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products You will need a full Windows or Mac to install it on. You have to print and mail prior year returns. 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 received the return. Don’t forget state.
