Is there a way for me to start amending my missed W2? @jessehwarlick  The amending process has not yet opened up for 2025 returns.  The preparation of Form 1040X is currently expected to become available late on Feb 25 or morning of Feb 26.   In the meantime, do NOT make any changes in your return.  When you start the amending process, it has to start off exactly as originally filed.   You should wait until your return has processed at the IRS. Especially if you were due a Federal refund, you should wait for your original return to fully process at the IRS and that you have received the refund.   Before you prepare your amended return, also see the info in this FAQ and video:   FAQ:  How do I amend my Federal tax return for this current year? https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-curr...   If you amend the Federal return, you may also have to amend the state return (if applicable.)

True...for those who the extra $$ are critical.   But...BUT...it can take a paper filed tax return a couple months to get processed....along with funding cuts that have reduced IRS paper processing staff.   Then...it took my brother a couple extra months to get his paper filing corrected when an IRS processing employee accidentally entered one of his 1040 numbers on the wrong line as they have to  type  the paper data into their computer processing system.   Your choice to do what you want.  

You need your 2024 AGI to efile 2025. The AGI is on 2024 1040 or 1040SR line 11. If you filed a Joint return you use the same AGI for each spouse. How to find the AGI. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/how-do-i-find-last-year-s-agi/01/25947 If you didn't file 2024 or filed it later in the year or mailed it, then try entering 0 for the AGI. If that doesn't work you will have to print and mail your return. Or request a transcript from the IRS https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

The correct QMID code for Weil McLain is V6H2 and that is directly from Weil McLain. You can verify that by going to their site and looking at the manufacturer certificate for your specific boiler/ furnace. 

What about Schedule D?  Why do you want to override it?   Do you have a carryover loss?  Will this help?  Line 16 will be your total loss and line 21 should be a max loss of 3,000. The difference between line 16 and 21 is the carryover loss for next year.   If it didn’t transfer over from last year then Enter a Capital Loss Carryover under Federal Taxes or Personal (Home & Business) Wages and Income Then scroll down to Investment Income Capital Loss Carryovers - Click Start or Revisit If you use Turbo Tax next year the Capital Loss Carryover will transfer over. Or you will have to manually enter the amount.    

If you owned and rented out residential real estate, you will enter all of your rental income and expenses in the Rental Properties section of TurboTax.   TurboTax generates Schedule E to report this activity.        Where do I enter income and expenses from a rental property?   If your rental property is located out-of-state, make sure you first set up that state properly in My Info (TurboTax Online) or Personal Info (TurboTax Desktop).   That way, when you do your state taxes, we'll be ready to go. If you paid rent, that may be asked for a state return, but not on your federal return.   Am I eligible for a state renter's tax credit?
