Ok muchas gracias, entonces puedo hacer una cita en estos meses no importa que sean los ultimos meses del año verdad Discúlpeme por preguntar tanto es que no tengo mucho conocimiento de esto, lo que me dijo del cierre del gobierno federal me podría decir a qué exactamente se refiere?

You probably have to do it by logging into your account on a desktop computer.  But if you don't use the Free Edition you have to pay the same fees to print your return to mail.     To go back to a lower version or the Free Edition you can try to clear and start over https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-clear-and-start-over-in-turbotax-online/00/26444 If you started your tax return in TurboTax Free Edition (Form 1040 with limited credits; roughly 37% of taxpayers qualify), you won't need to clear and start over. You can select Switch to Free Edition instead. In the Turbo Tax Free Edition, information that you can enter is limited now.  Why do I have to upgrade from the Free Edition? https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/upgrading/help/why-do-i-have-to-upgrade-from-free-edition/00/26379 Or try the IRS Free File program https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free

Material participation would typically require more than simply hiring managers and employees. 

I spoke with someone earlier from customer care about Win10 topic and asked about ItsDeductible, she said it only had 100k users which was why they shut it down vs. the cost to maintain.   The October 21st-ish shutdown date felt random but it falls 7 days after the extension filing deadline which is when they shut down e-file for 2024 start to refresh the online platform with changes for 2025 filing season.   So far there seem to be at least 4 apps vying for this 100k user space - Deductible Duck, Deductit.io, Deductib.ly and Kebab (others? - running out of name variations); plus folks moving to HRB or just using Excel.  I would be surprised if there is room for all 4 to survive.  I don't think anyone has a working upload to Turbotax yet.  @DeeDuckDave commented on that in this thread below   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-an-alternative-to-itsdeductible/01/3708354#M1372215   "Right now, you can directly add the numbers from Deductible Duck into the Deductions and Credits interview section (and for most folks, it's not a lot of numbers to add) so that's definitely one way, and you can also edit Schedule A directly, so that's another option as well.  We'd like to make that better and more like what it is now, of course.   We have the CSV import format and will be testing that here shortly, so we should have a reasonable integration by the start of 2026 for sure.   We will keep everyone updated on this, it's clearly a big question on everyone's minds."

You are on a Mac, right?  2014 was a special year.   For Mac 2014 you need to be connected to the internet to print or save the pdf.   But they don't support 2014 anymore so I don't know what  you can do.  If  you have the .tax2014 file you could try the TaxPrinter service to convert a .tax file to pdf at https://www.taxprinter.com

Muchas gracias por apoyarme 1. Me podría indicar lo del cierre del gobierno federal, ahorita no estarían trabajando en taxes o porque dice eso? 2. Cual seria mi oficina local si yo vivo en Pharr Texas, cuado envie los documentos los envie a las oficinas de Austin Texas, tendría que acudir alla a Austin o a otra oficina? 3. Entonces aun que vaya a las oficinas del IRS no me podrían regresar el pasaporte de mi esposa si lo pidiera? Tendría que buscar un abogado fiscal para recuperar el pasaporte? Muchas gracias espero su respuesta
