After you input the 1099-R, you come to a screen "Let's get more information about your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)".  Since you aggregated your two IRA accounts to determine your total RMD, that result would get entered here.  If you only withdrew your RMD and nothing more, this box should be the same as Box 1 on your 1099-R.   On the next screen, you would click the line "The entire distributions applied to the December 31, 2025 RMD" in order to eliminate any penalty for not having withdrawn the amount of the RMD.

Bonjour @bernard_dagenais    Si vous résidez au Manitoba Il existe un crédit d'impôt pour les équipements associés à l'énergie verte. Si vous avez acheté et installé une pompe à chaleur géothermique admissible en 2025, vous pourriez peut-être demander un crédit équivalant à 7,5 % de son coût d'achat, à la condition stricte qu'elle ait été fabriquée au Manitoba. Si vous résidez au Nouveau-Brunswick L'installation de systèmes de chauffage ou de climatisation est considérée comme une dépense admissible dans le cadre du crédit d'impôt pour la rénovation domiciliaire pour les personnes âgées. Vous pourriez vérifier votre admissibilité à ce programme. Si vous résidez au Québec Il n'existe aucun crédit ou déduction d'impôt qui s'additionne à la subvention découlant du programme LogisVert.   Si cette réponse répond bien à votre question, merci de l'identifier comme solution confirmée!

The What-IF worksheet is only available when using the TurboTax desktop editions in Forms mode.

You would check the box that you disposed of the property and enter the date disposed of so the current year depreciation will calculate properly and to remove it from your program going forward. Also, if you had any assets that you took special depreciation on, you would have to show those as being retired as you may need to recover some of that advance depreciation as income. You may not have any of that though as it is less typical with residential rental property.    
It is now March 6 and I still cannot access form 5695, Residential Energy Credit!!!  When will you have it available?  I CAN NOT COMPLETE MY 2025 TAXES WITHOUT IT!!!

As a business I am using the accrual method.   eg: I worked in December (2025) as a contractor and submitted my invoice at the end of the month, I didn't get paid until January 2026.  My income statement will account for the work I billed for in December.  Their books are closed and the T4a reflects only payments made.  They will not be re-issuing a new one.

When you first start the rental section, there will be a do any of these situations apply to this property page.  On this page select I sold or disposed of this property in 2025.   After doing so, you will continue through until you get to the rental summary screen where you will select sale of property/Depreciation.  This does not show up unless you select the box to say you sold the property in the original screens.

Shed to land is pretty straightforward as it adds to the land value, as you surmised.   Disposition is the sale or disposal of an asset.  In this case it could refer to the segregated assets that can be expensed rather than depreciated or the cost of assets that were removed from service prior to the new assets being entered.  It would be best to consult with the team that did the cost segregation as to what comprises that number.   The assets will be listed on the 3115.  There will be a bunch of new assets and the old assets will be "disposed" of and turned into new assets.  The cost segregation should include a list of all the assets and the dates to start their depreciation and so on.   If the garage apartment is going to be a short-term rental with stays averaging 7 days or less then the property is considered commercial and has to be depreciated over 39 years.

 Report Excess Roth IRA contributions + interest withdrawn? I had overcontributed to 2025 403b plan due to job switch and corrected already with return of excess contribution form before 4/15/26 deadline  Excess deferral amount = $179.82 Earnings amount = $18.14 Fidelity will mail me tax statement for tax year 2026 in 2027 Asked Fidelity to withhold taxes however they gave me a check with the full amount of untaxed money  How will I be reporting this Excess contribution and earnings earned for tax year 2025 on TurboTax? Would I need to add 1099-R form or 1099-MISC for Excess deferral amount $179.82 and another 1099-R or 1099-MISC for the earnings amount $18.14?      Question:  Should I report both Excess deferral and earnings in my 2025 tax return that I am submitting now by creating my own 1099-R or should I wait till next tax year 2026 to report both the excess deferral or just earnings? I do not wish to make corrections for 2025 tax year.

At this point, this situation has become genuinely unacceptable. Many of us have been stuck for weeks with the same Oregon/1099‑Q error, and TurboTax has not provided a clear update, a working fix, or even a realistic timeline. Multiple users — myself included — have spent hours on chat or phone support only to be told different explanations with no resolution. The fact that this issue persists after federal filing and after paying TurboTax’s full fee makes this even more frustrating. I expect TurboTax to treat this as more than a minor bug. Your customers are unable to file required state returns because of a TurboTax software failure, not user error. A partial refund for the state filing portion is not enough given the time, stress, and financial impact this delay has created. TurboTax should either fix this immediately or refund the entire amount we paid, and provide complimentary service for next year as a gesture of good faith. We need real communication, real ownership of the issue, and real urgency — not silence. Please escalate this to someone who can actually resolve it. @AmyC

This also means she will be subject to the 15.3% SE Tax.  If she did not pay Self Employment (SE) Taxes in 2025, and if she plans to do this again in 2026, it may be a good idea to make estimated quarterly payments to avoid penalties. Taking Business Expense Deductions    If she is in a partnership, then the partnership will file a 1065 and will give her a K-1 that will be entered on your return.   
I don't get any options to do so when I start the return.
