Look for a supporting document in your full PDF (the one that includes all worksheets). Look for a form called  "Tax Payments Worksheet" or "Withholding Worksheet." This will list exactly which entry is feeding Line 25c. Here is how to access.   If you used TurboTax Online, sign in to your TurboTax Online account and go to the Tax Home page.  Scroll down to the section "Your tax returns & documents." Select 2023 and click "Amend (change) return" (Don't worry, you aren't actually filing an amendment yet; this just "opens" the return so you can see the tools). Once the return is open, look at the left-hand sidebar and click on Tax Tools > Print Center. Select "Print, save or preview this year's return."  When the options appear, check the box that says "Include government and TurboTax worksheets." Open that PDF and search (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) for the exact dollar amount showing on Line 25c, or look for the Tax Payment Worksheet. There will be many pages to look through. If you used the software, open your 2023 return. Switch to forms mode. Look for the tax payment worksheet and the dollar amount that the IRS is looking for.  You should be able to find the source here.   TurboTax sometimes puts payments made through the IRS Direct Pay website on Line 25c, instead of under estimated payments. If you made a one-time payment when you filed, the amount showing up may just be your own payment being credited back to you. This is rare but it could happen.        

Key Solutions for Error 567812: Use "Save As": If you cannot save, go to File > Save As and save the return with a new name in a different folder on your local drive or on your desktop Run as Administrator: Right-click the TurboTax icon, select Run as administrator, and attempt to open/save the file again. @jtj483   

If your rental property is treated as a business and reported on Schedule C (Self-Employment), then your loss is not subject to the income limitations and phase out applied to rental property reported on Schedule E.  Also, if your rental is reported on Schedule C and has a profit, you will are subject to self-employment tax.   IRS section 469 defines six exceptions to what counts as rental activity.  Those exceptions include:   The average stay lasts seven days or less. The average stay is 30 days or less, and the owner provides services equivalent to those offered by a hotel, such as daily housekeeping, meal services, and transportation. Owners provide “extraordinary personal services” to renters. Think luxury rentals that include a personal chef or private tours. There are differing opinions about what is required to report a short term rental property as a business on Schedule C.   One view is that you only have to have to have average stays of six days or less.  Others say in addition to average stay of six days or less, you have to provide substantial services.   If you want to report your rental on Schedule C, you will have to delete your "rental" and start a business in TurboTax.  

You would need to mail the 1099-B form if you reported transactions by sales section totals and you either made adjustments to your investment income or you listed cost basis that was not reported to the IRS. After you get the download posted to TurboTax, you would have to look at how the investment sales are listed on your tax return to see if you are compliant with these regulations to determine if you need to mail in the 1099-B detail. TurboTax should inform you of that need if it exists.

If you're using TurboTax Desktop, in FORMS, use 'Open Form' at the upper left and type in '5695' to view the calculations on the form.  Make sure your program is updated through the ONLINE link at the top.   If you're using TurboTax Online, close the program, clear your Cache and Cookies and step through the Home Energy Credit interview again, paying close attention to the questions about your 'main home'.   @kzoosandman 

The workaround on the desktop version is to use the Forms (not the questionnaire).   Go into the "Student Information Worksheet".   In "Part VI - Education Expenses"   You can enter the room and board on line 6.   However if you save the file and come back to it another day the room&board that you entered is no longer there and you need to enter it again otherwise it says you have to pay.   Also don't forget to put the proper amount in line 18 (Used for credit) for the American Opportunity Tax credit to deduct what was claimed by the parent. It assumes $10K which is usually too high and would increase the tax burden. I don't remember what part of the questionnaire asks that or if that is even there in 2025, this is important. This line 18 seems to stay after saving and restarting.

The strange thing is the 1099R form shows the amount as being all taxable which is correct but it does not come through on the front of the return.  I have entered and deleted the entry several times going through all the questions.  I have checked the front of the return. I will call turbotax..thank you

To confirm, age (both my wife and deceased mother-in-law)) is not a consideration.  Inherited IRA from non-spouse does not qualify for retirement benefits tax exclusion in Michigan, period?   Turbotax somehow showed the inherited IRA RMD distribution on the Michigan Retirement and Pension Schedule (form 4884) as allowed tax exclusion.  I wondered if I input the data to Turbotax incorrectly?  

There are 8 states that do not tax their residents' income: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.   For W2 - if your state is not listed it doesn't have an income tax.  Leave W2 boxes 15,16, & 17 BLANK, empty, no spaces.      For 1099R - If box 14 for state withholding is empty then leave all boxes 14-16 Blank.  If box 14 has an amount and box 16 is blank put in the amount from box 2a in box 16.  If box 2a is blank, and you haven't made after-tax contributions to the account, you can use the amount in box 1.

As far as I can tell, TurboTax always marks box 1 (ROLLOVER) on line 4c if you enter a Form 1099-R and properly indicate that the distribution was rolled over.  As KrisD15, indicated, the ROLLOVER box should be marked if the Roth IRA distribution was rolled over.
