Can you clarify what you need to edit?  Most edits on the state forms are done in the state section of TurboTax, so if you let us know what changes are needed, we may be able to guide you to the entry. @aschrades1116 

To enter the information in TurboTax, see Where do I enter a like-kind or Section 1031 exchange (Form 8824)?   From the IRS Like-kind exchanges - Real estate tax tips: Like-kind exchanges -- when you exchange real property used for business or held as an investment solely for other business or investment property that is the same type or “like-kind” -- have long been permitted under the Internal Revenue Code. Generally, if you make a like-kind exchange, you are not required to recognize a gain or loss under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. If, as part of the exchange, you also receive other (not like-kind) property or money, you must recognize a gain to the extent of the other property and money received. You can’t recognize a loss.

Thank you for the clarification. Since the account was solely owned by your father, you would not use the 50/50 Rule.    Your mother is entitled to a 100% step-up basis (entire asset basis at FMV on date of his death).    The 50/50 Rule would apply to jointly owned accounts, not to an account that was passed to her as an inheritance.    This applies even if they filed a joint return.

This experience was resolved in TurboTax Online recently and is being rolled out to TurboTax desktop products over the coming days.  You should now have access to this in the online product, and I'd give until the end of the week for all desktop users to have this update.

Hi ReneV4,   Thank you for trying to help me.  Unfortunately, I'm not seeing the options you mentioned in steps 1-5. Under Income, here's what I'm seeing:    Interest and Dividends / Forms 1099-INT, 1099-DIV Investment Income / Form 1099-B, capital gains/loss, home sales Rentals and Royalties / Rental property, copyright/patent royalties Business Investment and Estate-Trust Income / Income or loss from ownership in other business and/or trust and estate entities (K-1s received) Other income or loss / List your own categories for any income not yet entered above #2 doesn't have an option within it for something other than Form 1099-B. #4 is looking for K-1s, which I haven't received for the estate. #5 has no options that allow for reporting investment sales and cost bases.   Other advice?   Thanks, Craig

If the loss is allowed and proper, then your return just falls into the handful of returns that must be filed by mail.  If you think the loss in excess of $25,00 is not correct, we may need more information to help you resolve the issue. 

@PatriciaV Thank you for reporting this bug.   I understand that this is a low priority display-only issue that does not prevent finishing and submitting tax returns for 2025.  Furthermore, it may only affect new (first year) TurboTax users who choose to manually enter the prior-year information for rental properties.   As your development team begins their investigation, they probably want to look at the Schedule E 2 Year Comparison Worksheet.  As highlighted in the attahed screen shot, it appears that the line 19 Total expenses box in the prior-year (2024) column is being entered rather than calculated.  The number in that box matches the first number I entered as the interview prompted for last year's expenses.
