Here's a couple of things you can try.  Open 2023 TurboTax and look at your 2023 return to see if it is correct.  If so, Save it again and try your transfer to 2024 using that file.  If you saved your 2023 return to a removable drive and then downloaded it to start 2024, it may have become corrupted.     If you think this may apply, check your TurboTax folders for a back-up copy of your 2023 return (usually there's at least one) and try transferring that file to 2024.   Another thing to try is a Manual Update, even if the Online shows no updates are pending.  It's also advisable to turn off your anti-virus programs, and run as Administrator when using TurboTax (right-click TurboTax icon).  Here's How to Turn Off Anti-Virus Programs  and more info on Troubleshooting TurboTax Desktop Issues.   Here's how to Contact TurboTax Support for more help.   @aptiva4tt17   
Yes, the beneficiary is the Trust, and line 18 shows the $200k.
The instructions for my state return specifically says a reconciliation must be attached to my return along with a copy of the Schedule D.  Why can't I/where can I find that reconciliation?

I used Turbotax to file extension. Turbotax filled in the estimated tax liability (4868 line #4). I have to pay more that estimated liability as I am expecting to include foreign income which I did not. The question is:  How can I pay more than amount mentioned in line #4 using credit card online?   Can someone please please help?
The IRS generally does not tax any payouts you receive that are attributable to premiums you paid.  
Type it in.    Control numbers are only used to upload a document. Not all payroll companies provide one.

No, you do not want to do the section on workdays because your W2 already allocates the Rhode Island income.  I did notice the error that you have the 2nd W2 with just the RI income- you can add the Line 15-16-17 to the main W2 so that you can e-file.  I am not seeing the summary screen that shows another amount, if you can grab a screen shot it may help because I am showing they are using the 31.83/63266 (as on the W2). @ctmatx

See this help article for troubleshooting steps for Mac issues.   If you contacted Support and didn't get a resolution to your issue, report that when you receive a survey about your call. Before ending a call that didn't resolve your issue, ask to speak with a manager.    The messages that Support sends after a call are normally emails. You might try seeing if your emails form TurboTax are going into your junk or spam folder. Also, if you are on the phone, you can give them your email address and ask them to verify if it matches what they have.   If you are still having a specific issue at this time, you can post it here.   We at Intuit TurboTax want our users to be completely delighted with their experience using our products and services, and successful in their financial lives and businesses.    Once you file your return, as long as the settings to receive communication from Intuit don’t block it, you will see a pop-up message or receive an email with a survey asking you about your experience. We encourage you to leave your notes and comments there. “Voice of the Customer” notes and comments are read and acted upon.   If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can also leave feedback at the Final Steps tab:

Unless you file Schedule C as a business, you can not report even one sale that resulted in a loss.   It would be as if you had a garage sale and sold 100 items at a loss, but one thing sold for a  $100.00 profit.  You would need to claim and pay interest on the $100.00 profit.   If the 1099-K reports $500.00 and only that one thing made a profit, you subtract the loss from the 1099-K FIRST, then you report the sale that made the profit.    So lets say the thing that made a profit was something you purchased for $50.00 but sold for $150.00 so you made a profit of $100.00. That means that $150.00 on the 1099-K was payment for that item, so $350.00 on the 1099-K was for things that sold at a loss.  Subtract the things that sold at a loss from the 1099-K. That would be 500 - 350 = 150.    Now you know that you must account for the 150.00 on the 1099-K. You do that by reporting the sale, someone paid 150 (sale proceeds) it cost you 50 (your cost/basis) which results in 100 profit. $100.00 is added to your income.    @bocabroker  @REF531

I had finished all my tax filings and am ready to mail out. Turbox tax summary is telling me that my balance is $0 for Louisiana tax. However at the form IT-540 i got from turbotax, i have a overpayment of $369, which means that the state is supposed to refund me that money. I had talked to the agent and she asked me to ask a tax expert, which i am upset because i paid for tax filing and ended up didn't even know whats my state tax balance. The tax form literally said adjusted overpayment of $369. But by any chance overpayment of $369 means a balance of $0
The "Explain My Taxes" section says: - Withholdings from 1099 Forms, $2,096 All my forms say 0.00. I have no withholdings. I don't know how to fix this.
If your return was mailed or efiled and accepted then it is too late to change it.   If the bank rejects the deposit the IRS will mail a check to the address on your return.  
You may need to do a manual update.    Try clearing your Cache and Cookies and then try this link instructions.
When it is fixed by TurboTax to e-file April 4th, will there be a way to attach this information/statement?
ive had this house for 20 years and this has never happened it has always been on my 1098

Partnership tax gets complicated very quickly......and you are now experiencing the complications: It appears that you have filed a final return for the multi-member LLC I will use A for you and B for the other LLC member When A purchased B's interest the LLC liquidates all property to both members. It is then deemed that A purchased the property from B. You need to review Revenue Ruling 99-6 situation 1 as this applies to your facts. It's doubtful that you have any gain or loss of this transaction once you following the application of the revenue ruling and IRC Section 732. What happens is that your purchase price gets allocated to the items that were distributed to B and that you purchased. You should have also completed form 8594 You will have a bifurcated basis in the assets; basis in the assets that were distributed to you, and then a separate basis in the assets you purchased from B.  Additional complexity will exist when you each owned 50% of single assets and you end up with 100% of those assets. This is not for the faint of heart and determining the correct basis for both sets of assets will be difficult. I would recommend extending your personal return and get professional help.
It would be better to use the date when you started keeping mileage and expense records as this would be "official" and you have records to back up your claims.
