I have the same situation. I donated some stock I’ve held for a long time to my church. Had I sold them I would have paid taxes on sizable  capital gains .  I also noted they asked for my original purchase price, which is irrelevant , but I entered if and they didn’t use it to compute capital gains. 

I tried Mike9241's methodology which did not work today 2/28/26. His suggestion follows this question.  I was able to complete step 7, but instead of getting to a page for identifying an overpayment to be applied.  I was taken back to A few things before we wrap of your state taxes page.  It appears as though you want Turbotax preparers to send in paper forms to apply an overpayment rather than submit state returns online.           Mike9241 Level 15       I use desktop so hope this works. More hoops than a circus to jump through open the state tab and see if there's a link for estimated tax payments - if so, click on it. If not you'll need support on next page select estimated tax payments for next year yes you want to pay estimated taxes yes you'll be an illinois resident leave amounts and exemptions blank unless you really want TurboTax to generate estimates for 2026 continue until you reach the payment option page Select any except "no estimates" and continue the next page should say "apply overpayment"  i would select "apply a specific amount" continue  enter the amount, and you're done   Thursday  

@user17715230038  Non il n'y a pas encore eu de mise à jour, pour le moment, avec le formulaire TP218. Il est toujours dans la liste des formulaires verrouillés.   Veuillez consulter la liste des formulaires sur cet article:   Pourquoi TurboImpôt indique-t-il que mes formulaires sont verrouillés ou n’ont pas été finalisés?   Merci pour votre patience.

If you claim the EITC or ACTC, we may need more information from you about your return. If we do, we will send you a letter.If you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), your refund is generally expected by March 2, provided:   You file your return online. You opt for direct deposit. We find no issues with your return. Some taxpayers might receive their refunds a few days earlier. You should check Where’s My Refund for your specific refund date. Most early EITC/ACTC filers should see an updated status in Where's My Refund by February 21.  

Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)     See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -   CURRENT YEAR https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk     Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return    

You must obtain a Form 1095-A to successfully e-file your tax return.   Before trying to file again,  contact Tricare to make sure whether or not they issue Form 1095-A. If they double-check that they don't issue this form, you will need to paper-file your return.   For instructions on how to file your return by mail, use this link.  

Go to Wages and Income > Interest and Dividends > Interest from Seller-Financed Loans and click Start to enter your information about the interest income you received for the mortgage that you hold.   If the interest was received as part of an Installment Sale, then it needs to be entered in Wages and Income > Less Common Income > Installment Sales instead.

Yes, that is precisely what I am saying since your stepfather was granted a life estate. You and your siblings had a remainder interest, not full ownership and control, as a result of the provision in the will.    Frankly, I think you should have a local attorney at least look over the will to ensure the foregoing is actually the case. You and your siblings did not technically have possession if a life tenant was occupying the house under a valid provision in the will granting a life estate.

I don't believe the right answer is to make entries that provide the correct results in this case.  This is a federal return issue, not a specific state return issue.  The IRS has provided guidance on how to deduct charitable contributions that are also state tax credits in the instructions for Schedule A.  There is a safe harbor that you can qualify for allows you to apply the state tax credit as state taxes paid in the year the credit is applied.  This is independent on your state of residence.   It is too late for this year so the workaround that AmyC suggested is all that can be done for 2025 taxes.  For future years I recommend Turbotax is updated to allow the user to apply this safe harbor rule when entering itemized deduction data in Turbotax.      

I have tried these things and none of it brings back the history of my rental. Could it be the version of online turbotax? It is do it yourself premium.
