Thanks, but neither applies. I put two assets in service in 2023 and one in 2024, all relate to a single rental, my only activity with depreciable assets. No section 179 expense was taken related to any of the assets. TurboTax is calculating MACRS depreciation correctly, although nothing transfers to schedule E. It seems like a problem with the software. Any additional advice is appreciated.
To the question "did [spouse] have excess contributions deducted from their wages?", the answer is no, your spouse did not have excess contributions deducted from their wages.

A couple reasons it could be saying you need to upgrade…. You might be seeing Form 8959 because the amount of Medicare taxes withheld in W2 box 6 is not exactly 1.45% of the Medicare wages in box 5, due to rounding.   Try leaving the cents off of the Medicare tax on your W2 box 6.   Box 6 has to be exactly 1.45% of box 5 or less.      If it is saying you need Schedule 3 and can't use the Free Edition it might be giving you the retirement savings credit. You can say you are a student to decline the credit. You must answer Yes when asked in the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit section if your were a full-time student. The answer to this same question asked in the personal-information section is not the answer that is used.
If there is a portion of difficulty of care payment that is taxable, and no form is provided,  where do you put the taxable amount on the tax return?
If you have already filed and received your refund, you can Amend your return to claim the Car Loan Interest Deduction, if you qualify.   @Nedraaaa

I know it doesn't help now, but here's why someone might see an additional $40 fee.   If you chose to pay your product fees out of your refund, there is a $40 service fee ($45 for California filers.)  That processing fee is for a third-party bank to open up a bank account in your name to receive the funds from the IRS.  Then at that third party they take out the fees and send the rest to your bank account in a second direct deposit.  Then that third-party bank closes the account they had set up for you.   That $40 fee can be avoided by paying upfront with a credit card, debit card, or a prepaid debit card that can be purchased in stores.

Former investment entity is not providing a 1099-R. Should I create a manual substitute 1099-R?

It is sort of like mixed drinks. Most people know a Margarita is a drink made with tequila. But there a several variations of the drink, like a strawberry margarita, mango margarita, lime margarita, etc. They are all margaritas. It is the same with Modified Adjusted Gross Income, it comes in many different varieties!
@Opus 17  Are you saying no, I’m not correct. That I should be answering YES to the TurboTax question stated previously?  or, I am correct, and the answer on the TT questionnaire is NO?

Hi all — I’m a resident in MD (NY nonresident) with: ~$3,000 NY-source wages (RSUs that vested after I moved, but sourced to NY because they were earned while I worked in NY) A NY rental property with a $5,000 net loss On my federal return, that $5,000 rental loss is “unallowed/suspended” due to passive activity loss limits (my federal AGI is > $150k). For NY filing (IT-203 + IT-182), I’m trying to understand: Does IT-182 potentially make the full $5,000 “allowed” for NY because NY modified AGI (line 6) is low (basically the ~$3k NY wages)? I don't have other NY sourced income/gains. If NY allows the full $5,000, can I net it against the $3,000 NY wages on IT-203 (so NY taxable income becomes negative and NY tax becomes $0)? What happens to the extra $2,000 loss beyond the $3,000 wages: Does NY carry it forward in any way (as a passive loss carryover or NY NOL), or Is it effectively used up / provides no benefit in NY this year (other than reducing NY tax to $0 and refunding any NY withholding)? I’m mainly confused about whether NY has any mechanism to preserve the excess loss when NY-source income is smaller than the allowed loss. Thanks!

If you had an excess HSA contribution in 2024 but did not have a form 5329 on your 2024 return, this likely means that you withdrew the excess HSA contribution from your HSA prior to the original due date of the return.   Had you not done so, you would have (by default) carried the excess over to 2025. However, this would also generate a penalty (called an excise tax) which would appear on line 49 on the 5329. No 5329? No carryover.   When you withdrew the excess in a timely manner, then you "cured" the excess, and have no more reporting duties outside of what TurboTax automatically did for you (you may not have noticed). NOTE, when you are asked on your 2025 return if you overfunded your HSA in 2024, if you "cured" the excess in 2024, then answer NO.   Do you have an excess contribution on your 2025 return? If so, withdraw it by April 15, 2026 if you can. This is the simplest way to deal with an excess.   In any case, you can't include the 2024 excess with your 2025 excess, in the way that you mean.

kebell50 - I too had a career it IT and IT support so I get the TurboTax tactics. I know there is a tech person in the backroom somewhere at TT that knows exactly how to find the issue and resolve it quickly.  But getting to that person to explain the issue would require some pretty good connections. The way of the world in a large company like Intuit.
