I just noticed your questions.  We were on the deed and shown as owners for property taxes, but based on the will he (my Mom's husband) was allowed to live for his life in the house.  He maintained control and we could not sell or restrict his usage of the house.

I found my mistake.  On the “Let Us Enter Your Bank and Brokerage Tax Documents” page, I should have clicked on the Skip Import button (and not the Continue button).  I wish TurboTax stayed with the old button description that said something like:  I will enter the data myself.

You still have the ability to download your ItsDeductible data:   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/access-manage-personal-data-intuit-account/L8nCbA0px_US_en_US

It depends. You can begin by using the information in the link below.  How do I extract my 1099-DA from my consolidated 1099 statement? Your IRS form 1099-DA reports gross proceeds, the digital asset, the number of units and the number of transactions. Select Wages & Income. Scroll to Investments and Savings. Select Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B) >  Add investments. On the Save time and connect your financial accounts screen, select Enter a different way > Select Type it in myself, then Continue. OK, let's start with one investment type, select Digital Assets > Click Continue. On the screen Which bank or brokerage is on your 1099-DA, enter the information > Continue. On the screen Did you get a 1099-DA from XXX?, select Yes.  Click Continue. Answer the questions at the screen Tell us about the sales on your 1099-DA Any digital currency you purchase becomes income at the time you redeem or sell the digital currency and must be reported . Cryptocurrency Guide (digital currency) Holding Periods: Long term is a holding period of more than one year (one year plus one day) and receives capital gain tax treatment (0%, 10%, 15%, 20% depending on your regular rate of tax) Short term is a holding period of one year or less and receives ordinary gain tax treatment (your regular rate) A solution can be to enter summary transactions if you have many transactions. Your brokerage statements should include a summary of your transactions, grouped by sales category, for example, Box A short-term covered or Box D long-term covered.   You can always use direct entry if you choose, with summary totals.  The only exception if wash sales, which must be entered separately, if you have any. How do I mail Form 8453? (review if alerted)

Thanks, but can you clarify?  My mom granted her husband the right to live in the house until his death.  This was spelled out in her will.  My mom died in 2008.  Her husband, was granted the right to live in the house (outlined in her will) until his death (he just passed).  The house was deeded to me and my siblings in 2008, but  myself and my siblings (I believe in this case we are considered the remaindermen?) just received possession of the house on his passing.  So are you saying FMV will be based on todays value (2026) based on the life tenant just passing?

Si vous parlez de la section "Avertissements" lors de la révision de votre déclaration, ce ne sont pas des erreurs mais il est important de les repasser, un par un, et d'indiquer au logiciel si ça s'applique à vous ou non.   Merci de choisir TurboImpôt.

Yes. It is being asked to compute your total cost basis. Since you can withdraw your original contributions at any time no matter your age without taxes or penalties, tracking the basis is much less complicated to do each year, rather than when (if) you take an early withdrawal.    If you did not take a distribution in 2025, this information is not required to file, but providing it now helps the software track your basis for future years.

This sounds like a NY document number requirement. This is a required input that can be found on the back of your NY license.  You can find the number after (not including)  "IDUSA." There should 8 or 10 digits, of which you enter the first 3 to satisfy the requirement.   For more information, see Where do I find my document number so that I can e-file my New York return?
