I am having the same issue now in turbotax online 2025. I haven't entered any manual entry for the 457b contribution, which is shown only in the W-2. However, TurboTax is still showing this as an excess IRA contribution. How can I get over this issue. Thanks

If your daughter files a tax return, the percentages will be allocated between the two tax returns on any basis that you choose as long as the percentages add up to 100%   If the daughter is not your dependent, as a US citizen she is must file a tax return if her income exceeds $15,750.   If she files a tax return, TurboTax will ask her to enter a 1095-A. She will enter the info from the parents' form since she does not have her own 1095-A   The next screen will ask her about your health plan being shared, so check the box.   Then she will see a screen asking for shared policy info.    You enter the following:   Enter the Social Security number in box 5 (recipient's SSN) on your parents' 1095-A. Enter the starting month and ending month that you had the insurance. Now you will be asked to enter percentages for Your Premium, Second lowest cost Silver plan (SLCSP), and advanced payment. You and your daughter will agree on what percentage of those amounts you will claim on your return, and what percentage she will claim on hers. You can use anything from 0% to 100%, as long it all adds up to 100%.   Taxpayer 1's tax return should reference taxpayer 2.  Taxpayer 2's tax return should reference taxpayer 1.   See also this TurboTax Help.  

Here is a post from TurboTax posted on Jan 16, 2026 confirming what I was trying to imply.   Can I claim the home office deduction for two or more businesses? by TurboTax     491 Updated January 12, 2026 8:20 AM   Yes, you can claim the same home office space if you have more than one Schedule C business, but you can't deduct the office expenses multiple times. You'll have to split this expense between the businesses so that you’re only claiming the total square footage space once on your return. If you work as an employee and for yourself, your home office can only support your self-employment and not your job as an employee in order to be deductible. Here are a few examples of how you might choose to divide the space among your businesses: Divide it based on time For example, if you use your entire office for each of your businesses, but use it for one business 60% of the time and another for 40% of the time, you could divide the square feet of the space 60/40. Divide it based on space For example, if you have two businesses and one office measuring 100 square feet, you could enter 50 square feet for each business. Divide it based on a combination of time and space For example, you might have special equipment for one business that uses 50% of your office space. You use the other 50% for both businesses, splitting your time equally. As a result, you would enter 75% of your home office square footage for your first business and 25% for your second business. Whatever method you choose, when you start entering home office expenses, enter the full amounts you paid during the time you used the space for either office. Do the same for your other office. It might seem like you're entering everything twice, but since you divided up the square footage earlier based on how you use it, all of the expenses for the total square footage will be accounted for on your tax return. TurboTax will calculate the correct expense amounts for each office, and the total expense amount will be correct on your tax return. If you have separate offices for each business, for example one in the house and the other in the garage, you'd enter the pertinent information (like square footage) for each office space when you enter the information for each business.

No it is not false, if you are claiming them as a dependent they cannot touch it bc it's your money, if your married or filing jointly with them then they can intercept your taxes. But you can fill out a form called injured spouse and this will protect your portion of the return.   

Enter 2 forms - whether you actually have forms or not.     Where do I enter 1099-INT?   Enter the interest from one bank and then add a second form to enter the interest from the second bank or financial institution.       Go to 1099-INT interest income screen under under Wages & Income Select Yes on the screen Did you receive any investment income? then Continue.   If you see the screen Your investments & savings or Here's your 1099-INT info, select Add investments or Add another 1099-INT, then Continue.   On the next screen, select how you want to enter your Form 1099-INT: If you want to import your form, search for your brokerage or financial institution. Sign in to your online account and select Get my form. If you want to upload a copy of your form or manually enter the info, select Enter a different way, and follow the instructions to enter your 1099-INT.

@nortonkd @You are so right I love living in a small town with less crime that’s why the place that I am moving to is small and low crime and the house that o got is actually right in town across the field from the police department lol but it’s a great small town schools are great also because u had to check that out for my baby. I also prayed about everything and asked God if it was for me to move to help me find a place in a great area and i actually went and looked at the house before I was even offered the position because that’s how much faith I had in God🙌🏾.I pray we all get our DDD this Friday and get our money soon🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
