I use two different personal vehicles for business use. This past tax year I only use one of them for business. T-Tax keeps asking for MACRS information even though it was placed in service in 2009, I entered 0 business miles this year and I have only used the standard mileage deduction. I did not sell the vehicle. I will be using it this year for business so I don't want to say that I stopped using it. Is it ok to say I stopped using it for last year as I will be using it this year?

Hello TurboTax community.  Few days ago I wrote a message in this community board,  that I had  a problem for TurboTax communicate and download tax information from Merrill Edge account. Finally, I found a problem and was download tax information and finished my 1040 tax return by using TurboTax.  Bank of America becomes crazy with computer security and introduced few extra steps when TurboTax asking for connection with Merrill Edge account.             Merrill Edge issued downloadable tax files 4 (four) days later after it issued Consolidated 2025 tax report in PDF format. So, for 4 days TurboTax was not able to establish communication with Merrill Edge.             I made a few steps with my Windows and Google Chrome settings: VPN off, Block Third Parties OFF, Pop-Ups permitted.             The Merrill Edge send a Pop-Up message on my screen,  after all few security steps were accepted by Merrill. This Pop-Up had a strange address and “Block” and “Allow” points. I accidently clicked “Block” and this caused all problems with downloading of the tax files.             So, to fix this “Block” issue I went to Merrill Edge account. Security Settings- Third Parties Access. It had “Intuit” permission to communicate (?). “Remove” this permission  and Off from account.             Started communication between TurboTax and Merrill Edge again and clicked “Allowed” when this Pop-up showed up again. Minimized Google Chrom window and TurboTax windows with permission to download few tax files was shown. I hope that my message will help someone who had problem for communication between TurboTax and Merrill. Regards, Joseph 

Hello,  This is my situation: My 2024 foreign tax credit carryover is $344 My 2025 foreign taxes paid are $345 (from 1099-DIV) I am not claiming any foreign tax credit in 2025, so Schedule 3 shows 0 I want to preserve both the 2024 and 2025 carryovers for future years Given that: Should I still file Form 1116 in 2025 to preserve these carryovers, even though the allowed credit is zero? Do I need to file any of the supporting worksheets, such as the Foreign Tax Credit Computation Worksheet, or are those for my recordkeeping only? Is it expected that the Foreign Tax Carryover *Reconciliation* Schedule may not generate when there is only a simple carryover situation like this? Also, in TurboTax Desktop, Form 1116 and the computation worksheet only print individually from Forms Mode and do not appear in any full print packet. I want to confirm what actually needs to be filed before contacting support about this behavior. Many thanks!
