The online software might come online in the next two weeks BUT it might not have all the forms yet that you need yet to make good projections.  It's been pretty crude & buggy so far for the desktop users....who get it earlier. _____________________ Try TaxCaster: Tax Calculator - Tax Refund & Return Estimator 2024-2025 | TurboTax® Official ____________________ or some folks find a different one to be better https://www.dinkytown.net/java/1040-tax-calculator.html   

If you regularly buy and sell items with the intent to make a profit, the activity is considered a business. In this case, you report income and expenses on Schedule C (Form 1040)and may need to pay self-employment tax in addition to income tax. The items you mentioned are expenses.

No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/contact-turbotax/L2y9ZKpQB_US_en_US?uid=m5s9l2vh   To cancel Advantage account https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/downgrading/help/how-do-i-cancel-my-turbotax-advantage-subscriptio...

You said you "applied" for the health insurance but didn't "use" it.   Was your application accepted so that you HAD insurance?  If you 'had' the insurance (your application was accepted and you did not cancel it), it doesn't matter if you didn't actually use it  or not - you had the insurance.   If you had insurance (you applied and it was accepted), you can probably access your 1095-A on your online account for the Marketplace.

@AJH4  just so there is no confusion, and your post suggests there is as there no test that combines income and school to determine a dependent.      There are two flavors of dependents - Qualifying Child and Qualifying Relative.   for the Qualifying Child, if he is a full time student, under the age of 24, lives with your at least half the year (and temporarily away at college still counts as living at home) and provides less than 50% of their own financial support, then he is your dependent.  Note there is no income test.    For the Qualifying Relative, he can not be a Qualifying Child, he earns less than $5200, and you provide more than 50% of his financial support, he is your depedent.  Whether in school, whether living with you are not tests for the Qualifying Relative who is your child.
