It depends. You W-2 would show a check in Box 13 if you were covered by a retirement plan. If you retired in 2025, you were likely "covered" for the 2025 tax year if you made a 401(k) contribution or earned pension credits before you left.   If you have been retired since 2024 or earlier, you are not covered for the 2026 tax year.   See: Are you covered by an employers retirement plan? for more information.

You can deduct expenses if the property was PLACED IN SERVICE (available for rent) but not if you were preparing for rental- you would want to add any preparation expenses into your basis of the property for depreciation when it is placed in service.   Also, check your entry for personal days for the rental.  You will want to enter the date your placed the property in service.  For the personal days, make sure it is the number of days after it was a rental.  See here for a great explanation by @Carl. 

No, you do not need to report this credit.   New York State School Tax Relief (STAR) credit check is not considered taxable income federal because you didn't itemize. It is a refund of property taxes paid, so you do not need to report it as income on your state tax return. 

Yes, thanks!  Finally figured it out.  I adjusted the age of Dependent 2 to 19 and then the box regarding the full-time student appeared.  Appreciate your reply to this issue.   Spent way too much time trying to figure it about before asking the community.  Wish the automated help replies would have provide this answer.  

You can report this directly into the Schedule E section.     Go to Income > Wages & Income Summary > Rental, Royalties, and Farm >  Rental Properties and Royalties (Sch E) > Start or Revisit. Choose to add a rental or royalty Choose Royalty when asked What are you here to report? Continue through the interview and answer the basic questions until you arrive at Let's enter the income, where you can select that you received a 1099-MISC, and continue on to enter the information from the form.

I simply unchecked the entry on the M1QPEN form (the blue check box) and hit continue. When I reviewed my reviewed the PDF of my return before filling, the M1QPEN form was NOT included. This seems to have worked!

Some more context.  I live in NV so I do not pay state income tax.  The Trust is irrevocable, I am the trustee, my sister and I the heirs, the home was the only asset and I've distributed proceeds to both myself and my sister.   Again, FMV that my tax accountant is using for the home is $700,000 and the home sold for $700,000.  The trust is still open so no K1 has been generated (do I need to consult my lawyer?).   Thank you!!
