FAMLI on a Colorado tax return refers to the Family and Medical Leave Insurance program. This program is a state-run paid leave program that started in 2024.
This program is funded by premiums that are deducted from employee paychecks, which are often shown in Box 14 of a Form W-2. These premiums are generally tax-exempt for Colorado state income tax purposes.

If you ended up getting all the way thru paying for Online then that is generally not refundable, see article below (and if you need to dispute anything no one here can solve billing issues - call Turbotax and say "billing" as reason for the call). Online only allows 1 return per account, you have to set up additional accounts (up to 5 per email address I think) to prepare and file other returns using Online - and pay for those separately, unless they qualify for free edition. Desktop does not have this limit on returns you can prepare (with up to 5 e-files). https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-refunds/request-refund-turbotax-product/L834M6uyW_US_en_US

If you are operating a farm as a business, you should enter your income and expenses on Schedule F and can enter the property taxes there.
If you have property with trees but are not operating it as a business, then you can enter your property taxes on Schedule A along with any other real property.
See this TurboTax tips article for more information about Schedule F.

I need to specify that I get a k-1 from a company that is involved in trading in financial instruments or commodities per 1411(c)(2)(b). The effect should be that when calculating NIIT on Form 8960 4b to not offset 4a. Form 8960 Line 4b is for: "Net income or loss from a section 162 trade or business that's not a passive activity and isn't engaged in a trade or business of trading financial instruments or commodities." Is there any way to achieve this aside from overriding the form? I can't get the interview side of Deluxe 2022 to ask me about the nature of the company.

I’m filing my 2025 return and need to attach Form 3115 for an automatic change in accounting method (late depreciation on a residential rental property). Details of my situation: I did not claim depreciation in 2023 and 2024. My CPA prepared Form 3115 to change from “no depreciation” to standard 27.5-year residential rental (S/L, mid-month). The total Section 481(a) adjustment is about $40,000 (2023 + 2024 missed depreciation). The CPA already faxed a signed copy of Form 3115 to the IRS National Office (as required for automatic changes). I was told that a second copy must also be attached to my 2025 tax return when I file in Spring 2026. I have TurboTax Home and Business and I would like to e-file which I have always done. My understanding is: I cannot just upload the signed PDF of Form 3115 into TurboTax. I should recreate Form 3115 inside TurboTax in Forms Mode so that it transmits with the e-file. I should enter $0 for “prior depreciation claimed” (since I actually claimed none). I should enter the full ~$40K Section 481(a) adjustment as a separate expense on Schedule E in 2025. Is that the correct approach?

Hi. I received a 1099-Nec for my earnings and a 1099-Misc for my tips from the same employer. When I put the numbers in the Self-employment section of wages and income, after I put in the 1099-Misc it didn’t ask me if this was tips and it didn’t deduct it as tips from my income. It did ask me after the 1099-Nec but not after the 1099-Misc. How do I deduct my tips from my income?

You have to "dispose of" the property, otherwise the program assumes it is still an active rental property. Below is a link to a TurboTax Article with step-by-step instructions on how to change your rental to personal use. Make sure you have your depreciation reports printed and saved as a PDF. When/if you sell (or otherwise dispose of) the property you will need them to calculate the gain and the depreciation recapture.
How do I report a rental property that's been converted to a personal residence?

Hello, I have entered my 1099-NEC forms, and it does not appear to be generating an amount for taxes owed on this independent contractor income. Is there something wrong with the TurboTax software? The summary page reads "$0.00" as the taxable amount.

In both 2024 & 2025, TurboTax calculates I owe a small penalty involving paying estimated taxes using form DR 0204. I shouldn't have paid any penalty in 2024 but the amount was so small that it wasn't worth my time to figure out how to correct. I still can't figure it out in 2025 and can't find anywhere to enter information pertaining to my payments of estimated taxes to Colorado. What am I not seeing in TurboTax for Colorado state tax? How to fix?

Hi LeticiaF1, Thank you for your answer. I am using the TurboTax Desktop (Mac) version to prepare amended returns, and I would like to confirm something clearly before proceeding. On the “Select the Return You're Ready to E-file” screen (see first snapshot), I choose: • Do not e-file my federal amended return now, I’ll do it later • E-file my New York amended return now From your experience, can I fully rely on the system to transmit only the New York amended return and not transmit the federal amended return when I select “Do not e-file” for federal? I would like to e-file my NY amended return (since NY encourages e-filing when available), but I need to be absolutely certain that the federal amended return will not be transmitted unless I complete the federal e-signature step and explicitly authorize transmission by E-signature. My concern is that if, due to a system glitch or hidden mechansim, the federal amended return were accidentally transmitted, it could create a conflict with my previously mailed federal amended return that is currently pending and has not yet been processed by the IRS. For that reason, I would greatly appreciate clear confirmation that selecting “Do not e-file my federal amended return now” and NOT seeing IRS e-signaure page (see final snpashot) fully prevents any federal transmission in the desktop version. Kindly help confirm this so that I may proceed with the NY e-file with confidence. Many thanks for your answer.
