Qualified higher-education expenses do qualify as an exception to the 10% IRA early distribution penalty. That said, you are still required to pay taxes on the withdrawal. Education expenses don't exclude income, so your regular tax doesn't go down.
For more information, see our help article, Are there exceptions to the early distribution penalty on an IRA?

Hi all, I am helping my mom and my step dad for their income tax dispute/matters from a few years back hence I need to submit the form 2848 to irs so that I can speak and act on their behalf. On Jan 22, I signed into irs using my mom's irs online account and electronically submitted the form 2848. My step dad passed away at the end of last year, so I only submitted one form 2848 to irs. I did not get a confirmation email even though irs claims that I should've gotten one. Also irs claims that submitting 2848 using a tax pro account takes only six business days to process. But it's been more than six business days and I still have not heard from them. I don't think my mom's irs online tax is "tax pro"so I am not sure if that is the reason that it took more than six business days, but it let me filed anyways.. Can anyone help with this? Thank you so much.

I have a question about entering a 1099-B in TurboTax, for a company stock sale associated with a 401k NUA transfer. Background - I rolled 1000 shares into a brokerage account on 11/24/24 - The 401k cost basis for the shares was $28, so I paid ordinary income tax on the $28,000 gain - The market value of the shares on 11/24/24 was $414, so the NUA spread is $386/share - I sold 200 of those shares on 6/11/25 for $475/share I was told by Fidelity if I sell shares at a gain within 1 year (before 11/24/25), the gain between $28 and $414 will be taxed as LTCG, and above $414 will be taxed as STCG. And after 1 year all sales will be taxed at LTCG. So I assumed taxes on the $95,000 6/11/25 sale would tax $77,200 (200 * $386) as LTCG, and $12,200 (200 * $61) as STCG. Question How do I enter a tiered/split cost basis in TurboTax if the 1099-B is showing the entire $89,400 gain as STCG? NOTE: I'm using TT Premier Desktop/Windows, NOT TT Online. The TT Community web app doesn't reflect this correctly.

All good suggestions by multiple folks. However (hint to TTax developers), wouldn't dropping an error/warn/info log entry to Mac (or Windoze) sys logs save us all a world of pondering grief? I've crawled mine (Mac user) multiple times, this and other errors, and OS based logs not including any bread crumbs from application (TTax) level. Disk space is "cheap", anomalous application behavior should be recorded by any savvy app... Please note com.intuit.turbotax.2025(...) already has much spam on other events, just not the really salient ones. P.S. Humor - Anybody else on Intuit web site getting spammed with dubious "HTTP 429 - Too Many Requests" error? 😉

mbcohen, yes yesterday and tonight tried to view print my NYS tax froms couldn't. I tried to have TurboTax notify me when the forms were available that was a dead end. I'm going to call TurboTax tommorow. How can I submit my taxes when the froms haven't been finalized yet. FYI if you go into forms in "my return" you will see all the NYS froms used for your return. Good luck
