@bigbruno    Maybe depends on how you entered it.  I tried  $6,000 of item donations to a purported AMVETS site...as two 3,000 donations on the same day. One for 6 new Cellphones at $3,000 total, as a single entry One for 2 new laptop computers for $3,000 total, as a single entry.   And they both showed up an my second form 8283  (first one was filled up with other item donations to other charities) all in Part A of the 8283 ______________ Don't know what happens if you do a single $6,000 donation, as that requires an appraisal, and ends up in Part B of an 8283...never tried that. myself.

Yes, you can apply for an ITIN for your child by filing form W-7.   Please read this TurboTax Help topic on How to file your tax return with a W-7.   You cannot e-file. You have to file by mail or in person.

Same. I filed 1/30 alongside four other people. Mine is the ONLY one that is still pending. Theirs was accepted literally 15-30 minutes after. I even tried the WMR because it says you can track it 24 hours after e-file and that doesn’t even work.

When claiming your child as a dependent, it is important to answer the questions in TurboTax carefully. Regarding the specific question, "Did This Child provide more than half of their own support for 2025?", you should ensure you answer "No." This is a common question that users miss, and prevent users to claim dependents.

Although the forms availability table indicates that Form 4562 is ready to e-file, the final update for depreciation calculations within the software has not been released.   We anticipate the depreciation calculations within the software should be updated after February 13, 2026. Our tech team is working hard to release the updates before that date.    Please be aware that this update will affect depreciation for Schedule E (Rental Properties) only. Schedule C (Self-Employment) was updated previously and should be working in all versions of TurboTax.

Click on Federal Taxes Click on Deductions & Credits Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Under You and Your Family On Child and Other Dependent Tax Credit, click on the start or update button OR - Go back to My Info on the left side of the online program screen. Edit the dependent and carefully check your answers to the questions. Note - A child born in 2025 is deemed to have lived in your home for the entire year. Make sure you select them as your Child, that you selected that they lived in your home for the Whole Year, temporary absence for education is deemed living in your home. That they did NOT provide over one-half of their own support (You Did), that you indicated there was no one else in the household providing support to them, and that you did NOT check the box labeled Not valid for employment in the Social Security number section.   If all your answers are correct then delete them as a dependent and re-enter.
