It depends.  You would need to look at the date of his withdrawal.  If on the date of his withdrawal, if he was considered to be enrolled at least half time on at least May 1st, then he would meet the requirement for 5 months. If he was officially unenrolled prior to May 1st, then the would not be considered a student for the month of May and would not meet the 5 month rule. 

I have TurboTax Premier Desktop and it does not have the capability yet for me to enter the depreciation on my rental house.  It tells me to wait and that that form will be coming in February.  It is February 16, I have updated the application and it still is not available.  This is not complicated, and I have checked with other sources and know that nothing has changed that will affect this in my situation.  When can I get this information so that I can finish my taxes?  It has a real impact on the bottom line.

Still not working and you posted two weeks ago.  Turbo tax needs to get this fixed.  I can't file taxes without it.  I talked to an agent on Saturday and he had no clue about this issue.  They should have this flagged and get it fixed.

@marytony Not sure what the question is.   You are seeing on the IRS site that your refund is approved and that the IRS will issue it on a specified date several days from now---on 2-19.   They also tell you to allow up to five days for the refund to post to your account.   What "changes" are you expecting to see?  Where are you expecting to see a change?   If you mean on your TT account, that is never going to change from "accepted"-- once you file your tax return, TurboTax gets no updates from the IRS.   Your account will only show that your e-file was accepted; TT never knows if or when you got your refund.

I still stand by my original advice. While your approach might look cleaner, it could lead to problems and increase the chance of an automated IRS notice, since the return wouldn’t be accurate.   Make the amendments first, then file your 2025 tax return using the amounts you calculated. Even though the IRS hasn't "accepted" the 2023/2024 amendments yet, your 2025 return will be factually correct based on the records you are providing.

Yes. The section of the Form 1099 Composite that you are highlighting shows the total short-term sales. The covered are Box A (basis reported to IRS) and the noncovered are Box B (basis not reported to IRS).

You said to answer yes to this question "Box 6: Is the recipient of the distribution the  designated beneficiary?"   But just below this question it says "Recipient is not designated beneficiary." And the answer to this statement is no.   Further confusing things is the fact that the Yes/No radio button for this question appears just below the second quote identified above.   Thus, it seams the "not" is in error and should be removed from the above statement in the turbotax program.

Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:   Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu. Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website. Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms. Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit." Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.   Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

 If you are using online TurboTax each return needs its own email, account and user ID.  With online TurboTax, you get one return per fee, and pay fees for federal and state.  When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.   Each return needs its own email, account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596 https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/       If you are using desktop download software, you go to the tool bar at the top of your computer screen and click on File and then "New Tax Return" in order to start another return for a family member, etc.   With desktop software you can prepare and e-file up to five federal returns and their associated state returns; if you need to file more than five, the additional returns can be filed by mail.   @ewas1969

Form 8453LC is the e-file transmittal form. Did you file Form CA568 for your LLC? That is the official tax return for a CA LLC.   The California Franchise Tax Board website is reporting up to 8 months to process an e-filed business return. Contact information is available on that page if you wish to inquire about status by phone or secure message.

@ewas1969 If you are using the TurboTax desktop editions, the answer has been provided on this thread.     If you are using the TurboTax online web-based editions, you can only complete and file one tax return per account and User ID.  For another tax return using the online editions you will need to create a new account, a new User ID and use a new email address.
