@VolvoGirl @xmasbaby0  What is the form number for the NYC city tax's education credits, donations and home credits? Thanks a lot.
Why is my receipt of purchase not available

Yes, your calculation is correct—3 out of 7 days is roughly 42.86% of your $100 monthly internet as a business expense. You can continue paying with your personal card and then reimburse yourself from the LLC, documenting it with a simple expense report or journal entry showing the business portion. Just keep clear records for taxes.

Suggest that you just sit tight on Windows 10 for now.  I'm fairly certain that with a few registry edits it will be possible to fool TurboTax into believing that it's running under Windows 11.  Won't know for sure until they actually release the TY2025 desktop product, but once they do I will get right on testing my theory and will post the results here in the TT Community Forum for all to see (including Intuit corporate types and developers, if they care).
Intuit recently confirmed that W11 will be needed for 2025 desktop versions. online should not be affected.

a few days ago, I received another notification from Intuit that W11 will be needed for 2025 desktop users.  what other desktop vendors will do for 2025 and in the future is unknown.

Thanks for the clarification! In that case, since my total sales were $7,400 and I did not make a profit overall, is it correct to enter the cost basis equal to the sales price so that the taxable gain is $0 and I am not claiming any loss? Just want to confirm that this treatment for personal-use items is correct and doesn’t raise any concerns. Really appreciate your help

as to real estate taxes, escrow deposits and payments are not deductible. you get the deduction when money is taken out of escrow to actually pay the taxes.   points are not de8uctible but must be amortized over the life of the mortgage. interest charges would also be deductible/     other than those items it's unlikely that any charges are currently deductible.  some might add to your basis others are personal expenses which are not deductible or capitalizable.       also, if you refi'd for more than the mortgage balance at that time, interest attributable to the additional borrowing might not be deductible.

Thanks for the reply, but this doesn't seem possible, because only the top two numbers match boxes on the K-1 form:  the ordinary and qualified dividend income.  The labels of the final four numbers don't match descriptions on any of the other boxes of the K-1 form, so I have no idea how to enter them on a K-1.
the issue is the tax laws say the sale at a loss of personal items is not deductible but the sale of personal items at a profit are taxable

Hi all. I sold about $7,400 worth of personal clothing/items on eBay in 2024. Overall I did not make a profit with most items sold for less than I paid. eBay issued a 1099-K, but I accidentally forgot to include it when I filed my 2024 taxes so I’m amending now just to report it. I’m entering cost basis equal to the sales price so the result is zero taxable gain. Is this the correct approach for personal items sold at a loss? Any concern about audit risk for amending only to report the 1099-K? Anything else I should do/document? Thanks for any guidance!
The full amount of income is taxed if a hobby or “other income “ but it your aim is to turn a profit it’s a business so you can deduct expenses including the cost of your supplies.

If I understand correctly, you are the biological parent with whom the child lived all year but the child has parents who had adopted her in your absence. Assuming the other qualifications for dependency are met you would have the right to claim her as a dependent since she lived with you. You should discuss this with the other parents since if they also claim the dependency both of your returns will be questioned by the IRS and both will have a mess to deal with.

So, I had my child and ended up in trouble and lost her. She was adopted since my sentence was way longer than my state could foster a child. Fast forward many years and I now have legal custody of my child. However, her adoptive parents still have parental rights and are the ones on her birth certificate. A judge ordered she live with me full-time at the beginningof the year. She has been with me all year and does not visit them. I read a little about how it depends on where the child is living but honestly, our case is rare. Who files taxes in this situation? I house her, feed her, clothe her, drive her 4 hours to her dr appts monthly since we have not switched to be closer to where I live. They help here and there but I have taken full responsibility. I have not claimed a dependent on my taxes for work yet because I do not want to get in trouble with this situation. Any advice would be great.

When I had two homes in two different states. I established my permanent residency based on tax consequences. In the case at the time, it was irrelevant, how much time I spent in each location, under each state’s rules. One state had a Homestead act, one state had income tax.  By choosing Florida, I eliminated the New Hampshire interest and dividends tax and lowered my Florida property tax. I got my license, registered to vote, registered my cars, etc. in Florida. Keep in mind the current laws may be different, I only have property in one state now. Some states have requirements for number of days of residency. Often, you can make choices based upon your tax consequences in each individual state. Every situation is different, depending on the different states you own homes in. I cannot cover every situation; examine the tax consequences of your preferred primary residence state vs your other states. Some people choose to retire in a specific state to save taxes. Always abide by each state’s regulations and tax law.
