Sorry you can only open it in the Desktop installed program.   If you paid for the Online version you can ask for the Desktop download.   What year?   But if you get it installed you also need to download any state programs in your file.   So you might have to buy any state programs after the first free state before you can open the .taxyyyy file.    How to contact Turbo Tax https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-contact-turbotax/00/26991

Entering your AGI from the previous year (2023) serves as your electronic signature for an e-filed tax return. You both have to sign a joint return, so it asks for both of you, but if you filed jointly last year you both have the same 2023 AGI.  

@Twin1954 , need more details about the  scenario --- generally it should be the same.  So can you provide  details sufficient to replicate and see what TurboTax thinks it is doing.  NO PII ( Personally Identifiable Info ).  You can also PM me with the info.   Namaste ji   pk

He doesn't have a last paycheck from these companies as they were provided online only and his sign in doesn't work anymore.  They won't respond to help him sign in.  Slightly 'fly by night' companies!   He doesn't have the state tax ID number for them, his state withholding, etc.  Nothing.  We're stuck.   Should we try to file the Federal Return?  We have all of that except that the Turbo Tax software wants the state info. 

have you tried tax package support website to see if the partnership is listed and then you could check to see if you got a k-1. there is an availability date by each. They even have a phone number to call.  https://www.taxpackagesupport.com/    otherwise, I would take the position that you will not be issued a k-1 and even if you were all lines would be zero Thus.

Filing a late tax return is subject to penalties and interest.  The late payment of a balance due is also subject to penalties and interest. To avoid additional penalties and interest for the late filing, I encourage you to file your tax return promptly even if you are unable to pay the balance due at this time.   You can request an IRS payment plan at the time you file your tax return, which will allow you an extended timeframe.   You may request penalty relief if you tried to comply with tax laws but due to circumstances beyond your control, you were unable to.      Help!  I can't pay my balance due article provides details about the different payment plan options.

Yes, since it is September and you likely did not have enough taxes paid during the year through paycheck withholding or estimated tax payments, you could still face a penalty for underpaying, even if you try to catch up now. The IRS calculates penalties by evaluating your tax payments quarter by quarter, so the shortfall from earlier quarters doesn’t disappear just because you increase your withholding in the final stretch.  That having been said, there are ways to avoid or reduce penalties. Remember the IRS does have "safe harbor" rules that could help you as well: The 90% Rule: If your total payments for the year cover at least 90% of your current year's tax liability, you’re in the clear. The 100% Rule: If your payments cover 100% of the tax you owed last year, you're safe, too. (Though for higher earners—those with an adjusted gross income over $150,000 last year—the threshold rises to 110%.) You can use the IRS's Withholding Estimator to make sure your current withholding and any remaining payments will at least meet one of these safe harbor thresholds.  Even though you may still be hit with some penalty, increasing your withholding now will still help to decrease how much tax you will owe and the additional penalties.    Tax Deadlines For most people filing taxes for fiscal year 2025, the final deadline to pay any taxes owed will be April 15, 2026. But if you earn income that isn’t subject to withholding, like from freelancing, side hustles, investments, or self-employment, the IRS expects estimated quarterly payments throughout the year. For 2025, the deadlines were: Quarter 1: April 15, 2025 Quarter 2: June 16, 2025 Quarter 3: September 15, 2025 Quarter 4: January 15, 2026 Since the September 15 deadline has already passed, it’s important to figure out what you owed for that quarter and make the payment as soon as possible to minimize any penalties.   For more information see: How to determine what to pay and when.  IRS Withholding Estimator  Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions or concerns you may have and thank you for attending!  Please have an amazing rest of your day!   **Say "Thanks," by clicking the thumb icon at the bottom of the post. ** Mark the post that answered your question by clicking on "Mark as Best Answer."  

No, you cannot use the unused portion of your housing expenses from your W2 income to offset your 1099-NEC income. However, if your clergy pension plan permits it, you may be able to use your remaining housing expenses to reduce the taxable portion of your pension distribution.  A retired clergy member can often reduce their taxable pension distribution by using a housing allowance if their pension plan permits it and the housing expenses are properly designated and documented. To qualify, the amount excluded is limited to the least of the designated allowance, the actual housing expenses incurred (including rent, mortgage, utilities, and repairs), or the fair rental value of the home.    **Please say "Thanks" by clicking the thumbs up icon in a post ***Mark the post that answers your question by clicking on the "Mark as Best Answer"
