@garymcguire  asked:  "My refund status was February 1st.  Then it was showing February 5th."   What are you looking at?  Is that what is shown at the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool?  Does that tool say it was sent? https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund   And did you use any add-on offers such as "pay fees out of refund", the "up to 5 days early" offer, a Refund Advance, etc.?    Those offers all use a third-party intermediary bank that first receives your funds.

The federally deducted amount for overtime for the 2025 tax year will not be taxable by the state of Colorado but will be in future years.   Colorado House Bill 1296, effective January 1, 2026, mandates that any federal "no tax on overtime" benefits must be added back to Colorado taxable income, meaning the state taxes this income.    

I would like to make this simple rather than extremely complicated as there are just a few moving parts. That is an awful amount of work for this situation!  The interest income is $5,000. The attorneys fee is $3,500. I have spent about 20 hours of my time working with NJ and the attorney in getting the required paperwork to and from all parties (family members) so as to get a check from NJ for an unclaimed property that had been in their possession for 20 years and was required to go through probate. The proceeds was return of capital plus interest.    My time was also spent unsuccessfully to get NJ to properly report the interest income to the estate rather than the trust ein number. And now I’m doing the tax return, etc.    The tax rate for the trust on any small income would be 10% with no state income tax as trust was Florida entity.  Any tax to me as beneficiary would be at 24% plus 10% for state.  I want to make this simple not a complicated project as you outlined if possible.    My time could easily offset the $1500 net income to make trust net at 0. I don’t want to complicate this and distribute K 1 showing minor loss or minor gain as distribtable income.    This amended final return is also a manual process for me!   Thanks for your assistance on this!

It's 2026, and I am working on my 2025 tax return. Reading through the thread, it appears the solution was release sometime in March 2025. But I am continuing to experience the following error..  please advise as I am running the latest update. Schedule E Worksheet : QBI Passive loss c/f should not have a value when no previously disallowed losses are present for regular tax purposes.

Thank you! However, will that still be ok to use that box since when I click the question mark next to the box, it says not to enter items NOT purchased directly from the school. It says “we will enter those later”. I completed all the sections after and it never gives me a space to enter the cost of the laptop.   Other forums say there is a section missing from this years online version in that category? Is it a bug? I really need to file this week 😕 

Your IRS form 1099-DA reports gross proceeds, the digital asset, the number of units and the number of transactions.   The gain/loss report will allow you to allocate the $92,744.68 in gross proceeds to the ten transactions.  Each transaction will be assigned to long-term and short-term based upon the date of sale and date of purchase.   The gain/loss report will allow you to assign the cost basis of the investment sold for each of the ten transactions.   You would be able to report each of the ten transactions (which would total $92,744.68) into TurboTax using the one-by-one method.  Or you would be able to report the summary transactions (which would total $92,744.68) into TurboTax using the sales section totals.    You may enter the summary information instead of each individual transaction.  Create a .PDF of the IRS form 1099-B and your analysis of the gain/loss report to upload into TurboTax Online.  Follow these steps.          Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
