Thanks for the reply @xmasbaby0.  I have entered all income, like I said I completed my taxes online with H&R and TurboTax - I just haven’t submitted them, but I can see the refund amount stated as $525. Everything is entered properly. I’ve left nothing blank and did nothing different from what you explained below. The only thing I can think of is “did the $11K increase in income truly cut out any refund I may get?” Thoughts…? Thank you!

@Hal_Al  It does not appear that TT is thinking of this as a glitch at all. Please see the multiple responses from a TT employee in this post where he suggest that it is by design to omit them:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-education-section-missing-the-ability-to-enter-other-education-expenses/01/3753106/highlight/false#M1393183

Some of our customers are experiencing issues when trying to file and pay with their refund.  We are investigating this issue.  However, if you would prefer to file now, you can do so by switching to pay your TurboTax fees with a credit card instead of using the pay with my refund option by following these steps.   If TurboTax is not letting you continue on to e-file, here are a few additional things you can try:    Log out of your TurboTax program, close the browser completely and then log back in.

No, this is not the answer. My understanding is that once you start estimated quarterly payments in a tax year, then you always have to have quarterly estimated payments for all future years. I do not want to start these estimated payment vouchers but Turbo Tax tries to insert them every year. We used to be able to go into "Forms" and delete the Vouchers. Can we still do this? I e-file and do not want to take any sort of chance for the IRS to expect Vouchers for the next tax year. No Vouchers! How do we turn them off and it's not a matter of simply "ignoring them." The mention of Vouchers for quarterly payments should not be mentioned in the filing instructions to "ignore" or not include, because there is no assurance that the IRS is not expecting them otherwise.

The scam wasn't a ponzi scheme. I'm over the fact that it happened, I just don't want to get in trouble if I don't report anything at all. Like I said, all I did was buy bitcoin and send it to someone else via cashapp , so essentially it was a gift. I was just wondering if I would need to report anything from that event. 

Sí. Por lo general puedes reclamar a tu hijo de 19 años, si cumple con todos los requerimientos del IRS.   Si tu hijo fue estudiante de tiempo completo por al menos 5 meses. Vivió contigo más de la mitad del año. No pagó por más de la mitad de sus propios gastos.    Aunque solo trabajó dos meses, si sus ingresos fueron bajos y no se mantuvo por sí mismo, aún puede calificar como dependiente.   Puedes ingresar al siguiente enlace para ver más detalles sobre los requerimientos del IRS para los dependientes.   IRS requisitos para dependientes  

@BadBrad, no AHRI documentation is required to be attached to the return to file for this credit.  You are correct that the furnace has to be AFUE 97 or above, which my furnace is, but the only thing that needs to be filed with the IRS is the cost of the equipment, and the manufacturer QMID

Yes, you will need to add a Form 1040-X. It's not the right time to amend a 2025 tax return. You will need to indicate it is an amended return however the amended Form 1040-X will not be available until later in the season. The IRS is not in the habit of taking amended returns this early. Use the link below to check periodically for the release date. You may want to change your return back to the original return so that your amended return knows the changes.   If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines.    You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return. Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return. The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected. You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment Amend a tax return for the current tax year Tax Form Availability

Just got my reject from the 2/1 filing...    There was an update from Turbotax yesterday, but couldn't refile because the filing from 2/1 was still pending.  Today I went through the return again.  The only thing I had on my schedule 1 was income from working a city election (no W-2 provided)... I've now moved that line item per something I read on the turbotax community help page... Schedule 1 fell off the return all together, (the income shows up on the 1040 & my totals for income, tax paid & tax due are still the same).  I know this won't help those that need the Schedule 1, but it's what got me past this whole mess... I've filed again & this time got an acceptance back.     What a mess...

Assuming you are correct in your assumption that the income is non-passive, you would need to indicate that you were a real estate professional when you answer the questions after entering in your K-1 Form. Those answers won't appear on your tax return but they will result in your loss being reflected as non-passive on the second page of your schedule E on your personal tax return. 

Does the same hold true for the TurboTax Desktop Edition for Mac?  I finally decided to use Koinly so I can upload their file but, if I wanted to upload my data from webot.com (formerly Pionex.US) I'd rather do that and let turbotax handle the calculations.  It's just going to take some work on my part to get the data into the correct format.  They send out a zip file of 4 files.  All containing different types of data sets.  And the one where the trading bots have placed orders have dates but time are all 00:00:00 so it messes things up for Koinly trying to calculate.   Thanks for the reply.  Greatly appreciated.
