Hi @jefreewoman  ... there is no standard business %. You must keep track of the mileage on a mixed-use vehicle and come up with your own % of business use vs. personal use.   There is a standard mileage rate. Instead of calculating the % business and applying that % to all costs (repairs, gas, insurance, etc.) you can just keep a log of all business miles (date, amount, purpose) and use the standard rate. For 2025 that was 70 cents a mile for business us. See https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/standard-mileage-rates As far as where to enter, see if this previous answer gives you what you need. If not, please ask a clarifying question and we will try to help. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/re-business-use-of-car/01/3187653/highlight/true#M307153

Form 8915-F (Qualified Disaster Retirement Plan Distributions and Repayments) is expected to be available in TurboTax soon. Availability of the form is based on finalization.   You can also check for forms availability using this link click here.   Your TurboTax program must be updated for full functionality of the form when it is available.   If you are using TurboTax Online, the program updates for new tax laws and other features automatically in your web browser. You do not have to manually update like in TurboTax desktop software.     If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can manually check for updates for  your TurboTax program by clicking on "Online" in the black bar near the top of your screen and selecting "Check for Updates."     Please return to Community if you have any additional information or questions and we would be happy to help  

When I go to enter my data, the first question it asks is if I want to report the summary or if I want to report the individual transactions. If I choose summary, the program only lets me enter summary data, not individual data. So I don't see any way to enter this one transaction unless I start a new 1099B. what am I missing?  PS - and if I add in the summary for the single transaction, then TurboTax says I have to mail in my 1099 with my tax return. Poking around on the Internet it seems that if I instead listed every transaction individually, I wouldn't have to do this.  I don't wanna have to do that but if it's a way to go, please let me know.

Using schedule E or not will not have any effect on the 179 carryover on your K1.   If you have adjusted the carryover amount as @Mike9241 shows you above then it may or may not have an effect on your taxes.  It would carryover on to schedule E page 2 and from there to wherever it effects your taxes.  But making the adjustments is up to you.  TurboTax does not do this computation automatically.

Most retirement plans are Qualified Plans, including 401(k) and 403(b) plans.   If you want to confirm the type retirement plan you have, you can contact the plan administrator (the issuer of your Form 1099-R).   Here is a TurboTax article on Form 1099-R that may be helpful.

I have an amount on Line 2b and Line 7 which I think is correct.  I had one override eliminated it and it made no difference, closed and restarted program and still no difference. Could it be a problem with the program?   Thanks for your help!  

You only need to enter the 1098-T and subtract out qualified expenses, like books and supplies. I just created a dependent return with box 5 larger than box 1. It carries the excess scholarship income to Sch 1 line r for Scholarship income as expected. It carries to the 1040, line 8.   A full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files). Online version: Delete the form 1098-T, see How to Delete   Log out of your return and try one or more of the following: Don't use Internet Explorer. Clear cache and cookies, Sign in using a different browser. Sign in using a different device. Log back into your return. Enter the information again.  Desktop version:  Delete the form 1098-T Save your return while closing the program. Update the program Open Enter the information again. @twinzby2 

Just one other beneficiary, so my limit is $10,000 annually. I checked my returns for all 3 years and it looks like the full amount of my distributions were included in my AGIs. Thank you for your help as this has been super frustrating because it's so particular to NYS and I have no idea why it's being miscalculated in TurboTax. What other information about my situation do you need?

@fgreenfield I am dealing with the same issue for my wife and I. Not sure where the information sheet is pulling from, but it did not include our middle names. So of course it does not match our Illinois driver's license. I was on the phone with TurboTax and they had no solution for me and told me to mail it in. Not something I would want to do.   TURBOTAX please help.   Thanks

A trust can't do anything. A trustee must act for the trust following the terms of the trust. For a non-grantor trust, how can a trustee have the donative intent required to complete a gift, under e.g., Commissioner v. Duberstein, 363 U.S. 278 (1960). How would a gift from a trust play into the DNI rules in I.R.C. 661-2?   Isn't the better way to think of it that the grantor made a gift when the trust became irrevocable and that the trustee is not gifting to the beneficiaries, but rather  just following the terms of the grantor's gift by making distributions? Those distributions may carry out income or might be gifts of corpus, depending upon the circumstances.
