So, even thought I am filing as a non-resident (live in TX, not the state I get regular income from) it won't be taxed differently? That's my big concern since I can't seem to add income from TX on TurboTax

Have you updated the program?   Go up to Online - Check for Updates.  You should also check if your Windows needs updating.   Try closing and re opening the program.   You have a 1099R with 759 in box 1?  What is the code in box 7 and is the little IRA box checked?   @dmertz    Oh I just remembered, when I entered my inherited IRA that has an RMD it did pop up form 5329.   I went into Forms and deleted the 5329 and it hasn’t come back.   I’ll try entering that 1099R in a test file to see if it gets created again.  

There is not a rent deduction or credit on your Federal return.  If your state has anything for renters you will be prompted to enter your rent info when you complete your state return.  As far as I know, the states that have anything for rent are Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington DC, and Wisconsin.

What do you mean that you suffered losses? Generally, estates would provide for reimbursing the expenses the trustee/administrator incurred in administering the estate. More details or clarification are needed 

Please continue to check back as many sections are being updated.   TurboTax Online updates for new tax laws and other features, but they are done automatically in your web browser. You do not have to manually update like in TurboTax desktop software.     If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can manually check for updates for  your TurboTax program by clicking on "Online" in the black bar near the top of your screen and selecting "Check for Updates."   You can also check for forms availability using this link click here.   If you have additional information or questions regarding this, please return to Community and we would be glad to help.  

If you need to find where to change the At Risk box on line 32  here are my old notes.  Hopefully they still work or will get you close.   Go back to your Self-Employment Income.   Click on Edit to review your business entries.   Then scroll down to Uncommon Situations, click Edit and check or uncheck the box.  If your investment is at risk, don't check the box.   You may need to delete Form 6198 if you had the box checked and are now unchecking it.     How to delete forms   You can get back to the question about your business investment being at risk by going to the Schedule C and finding the Final Details > Special Situations section (if using TurboTax Home and Business) or the Uncommon Situations section (if using TurboTax Online).     Within those sections, there will be a check-box to indicate 'I have money invested in this business that I'm not at risk of losing; that is, certain cash, property, or borrowed amounts that are protected from loss.'  Uncheck that box if your investment in your business is not at risk.
