Thank you for the response. I am using turbo tax online and I see different amount of prior year depreciation for my rental property on federal and CA return. I checked and confirmed that the amount shown on federal return is correct. How do I modify the prior year depreciation amount on CA state return?

If you are getting an error saying you need a 1095-A (Marketplace Insurance), and you don't, you can follow these steps.   The IRS database thinks that you or a member of your household has, or has had a Marketplace policy.   You should Confirm that you and no one else got a 1095-A You can use the phone number listed by state at  The Health Insurance Marketplace. If you're sure you don't have a 1095-A you can use these steps to clear it. Select Tax Tools On the drop-down select Tools There will be 2 green boxes Select Topics Search Type 1095-A The question will come up Did you receive Form 1095-A for your health insurance plan?

Thank you for your response. I was able to file successfully. My problem was caused by the 1099-R that had box 16 blank. It should have been the same amount as box 1 (Gross Distribution). Once I entered the amount in the highlighted error displayed in my Turbo Tax filing there were no further obstacles to completion.

Yes, if you originally claimed yourself as not being a dependent on somebody else's tax return, you can amend it to indicate that you can; however, the other person can't claim you and E-file until your amended return is fully processed by the IRS.  Their return will be rejected.   They can mail it, but it'll result in a letter from the IRS to both you requesting information regarding your filing status.  (Yo should still do the amended return).   TurboTax will be available to process amended returns for 2025 in late February of 2026.   TurboTax provides a list of Tax form availability ‌for individual Federal and State returns forms that are‌ being revised. On the website Select Select return type [1040 Individual] Select agency [US - Federal] Third Box [1040X] Once available, you can make a change to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted.  You should follow these guidelines.  You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.  You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.  Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.   The refund calculator will start ‌at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due  Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.  You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment  Select your product below and follow the instructions.  Amend TurboTax Online  Amend TurboTax CD/Download   

I had the same question but saw an answer from 2023 that makes sense if you had $5k in childcare FSA (but it only makes sense if the credit calculation hasn't changed since 2023, which I did not research). Here is a copy/paste of part of the answer I found:    "The FSA benefit is subtracted from the overall allowable total.  If you provided care for 2 or more children, the maximum eligible cost is $6000.  Since you received a $5000 tax-free FSA, the amount of remaining  expenses eligible for the credit is $1000.  $200 is a 20% credit, " See Re: Why is my dependent care credit only $200, not $1200? I had over $15k in child care costs for my two children (ages 3 and 1). I received $5k in dependent care FSA funds.

What is displayed at the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool? https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund   Is your Federal refund supposed to come directly from the IRS to your bank account (or card?)      Or did you use any of these options? "Pay fees out of refund", or "up to 5 days early" offer,  or Refund Advance?   Those options use a third-party intermediary bank to first receive the funds from the IRS before they send the rest on to you in a second direct deposit.

Some states are fairly quick with refunds, while other states can take a long time processing returns--even several weeks--as they crack down on detecting fraudulent returns.     Here are some things you should check:   First, you need to be sure your state return was successfully filed.   If you efiled, be sure your efiled state return was accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can check by looking at the Tax Home in your Online account.   Or did you choose to file by mail instead?  TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you have to print, sign, date, and mail it.   The FAQ below tells how to check on a state refund for Minnesota:   FAQ:  How do I track my Minnesota state tax refund? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-minnesota-tax-refund/L7cxJQfik_US_en_US
