If your preparing a separate return for your child, there will not be a place to enter the parents income. In My Info for the child you should indicate that someone else can claim me on their return. You can then still claim them as a dependent. They will pay there own taxes off of their return.

If no tax withholding is present on a particular 1099-R as is the case here, the 1099-R is not to be attached.  For a Form 1099-R has tax withholding present, TurboTax includes the necessary details as an electronic attachment.

Thanks for getting back. The house has been rented since 2012. It was inherited as part of a trust. I sold the house and an adjacent lot in 2024. I took a loss on the adjacent lot.     So I son't really know what it is asking for.

If it is a 2023 Pre-owned, then no, you should not be getting the credit.  The credit for used vehicles states that the credit should be at least 2 years old. So if you bought it in 2024, then it would need to be a 2022 or older.  Did you enter it for a new credit?  If you selected a new credit, the requirement is that you are the first owner, so even a 2023 leftover would qualify.   The simplest thing is to delete the credit.  You can do this by deleting form 8936.       From the left rail menu in TurboTax Online, select Tax Tools (You may have to scroll down on the left rail menu.) On the drop-down select Tools On the Pop-Up menu titled “Tools Center,” select Delete a Form  This will show all of the forms in your return Scroll down to the form you want to delete Select the Form Click on Delete.  Always use extreme caution when deleting information from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.
