When you enter information in TurboTax, you should be making your entries in "Step by Step" mode and not in "Forms" mode.   If you had used "Step by Step" mode for these interest entries, the "State where the dividends were earned. Postal code (such as "CA" or "NY")" would be coded XX and the allocation of the non-resident state interest would have appeared correctly on AZ Form 140 line 15.  If all the dividends came from one state, that state code would be on that line, but because the dividends came from multiple states (including the resident state), that line would need to be coded XX.   The top set of data with code AZ would be OK, but the next two dividend entries should have code XX in the "State where the dividends were earned" line.  When you do this, this should correctly allocate your dividends between AZ and all other states, with the other states dividends appearing on line 15 of AZ Form 140.

Just wanted to double check. I checked that link and currently that Form 8915-F (Qualified Disaster Retirement Plan Distributions and Repayments) is currently unavailable. I am using the desktop version for automatic updates and I also check manually as well. So, it appears a waiting game until a finalized form becomes available. 

If your parents claimed you as a dependent on their return for the past 4 years, then you could ask them.  If they did not you can do this by looking at your tax returns for the past several years.  Look for form 8863 with each of your returns.  You will see a number in Part 1 if you received the American Opportunity Tax Credit.  This credit is limited to 4 years.   If you cannot find or do not have  your prior year returns, you can request your transcript from the IRS to see which credits you received.    TurboTax would not flag this as it does not know how many years you claimed the AOTC or if your parents  have claimed it for you previously other than if you told it.   As you are walking through the steps to enter your 1098-T, the program does ask if you have claimed the credit in previous years.  This would apply to your parents claiming it for you as well.  In general, if you have been in school for more than 4 years, then you probably used up the 4 years that you are allowed to take it and then you can switch over to taking the Non Refundable  Lifetime Learning Credit.   This credit is available for as  many years as you are in school at an eligible educational institution.  There is not a limit on the Lifetime Learning Credit.       

The rejections happen due to the IRS business rules when either:    VIN is incorrect (Rejection code F8936-030-01)  Your tax ID and VIN do not match in the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-046)  The credit type claimed and the amount entered on the Schedule A of Form 8936 is not matching the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-0047)  The purchase date is inconsistent with the IRS database (Rejection code F8936-048). Please follow these steps:   Check the report that you received from the dealer and make sure it is correct and matches what you have entered on your tax return.  Dealers who sell vehicles eligible for a used (previously owned) vehicle credit under IRC 25E must furnish a report to the buyer at the time of sale and also to IRS for those vehicles to be eligible for a credit under IRC 25E Contact the dealer and make sure that they provided the correct information to the IRS and/or that they did provide the sale information to the IRS. If you can prove that number 1 and 2 are true and the IRS still rejects your tax return, you will have to print and mail the return. You will also need to send proof that proves you got the credit.   Clean vehicle credit seller or dealer requirements | Internal Revenue Service  

Yes, without a Foreign Federal ID Number, this return cannot be filed electronically. Before you pursue this path however, first determine if your university is eligible for the Education Credit by being on the Department of Education list.  Here is a link to that list.    If your university is not on the Federal Student Aid list, you cannot claim the American Opportunity Credit (AOTC) or the Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC). The IRS is very strict about this. The school must be eligible for U.S. federal aid for you to get a tax break on your U.S. return. Even if it is, without a valid EIN, you won't be eligible for an American Opportunity Credit but may be eligible for the Lifetime Learning Credit.    If your school is listed, type 99-9999999. If erased automatically, you will need to print and mail your return. Since you are printing the return, you can take a pen and cross out the 99-9999999 on the printed paper and write "N/A - FOREIGN ENTITY". If you wish to have a cleaner copy, just leave the EIN blank and just print and mail your return once you are done preparing it.    

Try as I might, this is not working correctly, I have a very simple return, interest, dividends, socsec, yet turbo tax is not calculating Schedule 1-A, Enhanced Deductions for Seniors. I have checked for updates, reentered birthdates, but this is still not working

To take it off because you are no longer using the vehicle for business, enter to the vehicle section, edit it, and select “I stopped using this vehicle in (current tax year)." Follow these steps: Open your return. Select Tax Tools in the left-hand menu. Click on Tools. Select Delete a form. If that option doesn't work for you, you can see other options in the link below: How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online?
